stop him with his guns and attitude: Duke Nukum.

environments, trying to reach the exit and advance to the next stage. Some of
the environment is destructible: obstacles can be eliminated by shooting them.
Defeated enemies yield points to the player. Duke can also collect power-ups
to increase his health or upgrade his gun, as well as pick up inventory items
with special abilities. At the end of most levels the player may receive bonus
points, depends on his performance and achievements unlocked during gameplay
(e.g. destroying all security cameras).
The game is the third episode of a trilogy, following Duke Nukum, Episode 2:
Mission: Moonbase; each episode was released separately and also as a complete
game. In this final episode, Dr. Proton has created his own future, where his
power cannot be matched; Duke is thrown into this future nearly defenseless,
and has to figure out a way to escape and defeat the mad doctor once and for
all.
