What Version Of Duke Nukem Have I Got?

[danny_galaga]

probably an obvious question. i have a duke nukem 3d cd. how can i tell what version it is? there doesnt seem to be anything written on the case or the cd. exploring the cd doesnt bring up anything obvious. i dont really want to install it on my pc just to find out what version it is! all i can say is that it says copyright 1999 on it...

do u mean version number or Atomic, plutonium etc.

Install it you lazy bugger!

 

[danny_galaga]

Install it you lazy bugger!

hehe. maybe i will. and yes, i meant is it atomic, etc. i tried different combinations of con files (from the cd, from the nuke2x file etc) and i only get the black screen. ill install on the pc now and see what it is (",)

ok, heres my story in a nutshell. grew up poor, used apple IIes in highschool. didnt touch another computer until about 1999 when i built a pc. by that time anything you install on a pc has wizards n shit . why am i telling you this?

i cant figure out how to get dukenukem going on my pc! first game i ever installed was age of empires- easy.im running xp and i suspect i need to have this game in dos? i picked up this game from a friend when i showed him my new toy so ive never actually played this game or installed it... i can open this file:

DN3DHELP.EXE which sounds handy but it assumes the user isnt as ignorant as i am! if i click setup.exe it flashes a command prompt thingo for a second...

my friend also gave me a quake cd, so ill give that a go while i wait for the lambasting

you should install it in dosbox.

*sniff**sniff*that...was so...touching....

www.google.com and download eduke that should work like a charm installing duke nukem 3D

you should install it in dosbox.

hehe. i thought it was going to get convoluted finding out what version of dukenukem i have. well, whats one more program on the pc. maybe now i can play iznogoud as well! hmmm, i wonder if iznogoud will work on the gp2x dosbox...

dankje vel!

 

[danny_galaga]

ha! got it to work. i still dont know what version i have as i found it rather scary using dosbox (mounting to c is not supposed to be good)

i found that if i used a different config file as per this thread:

http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showt...2&hl=duke3d

it all came good. that and remembering to press the stick to select (",)

 

[danny_galaga]

oh, and i found that opening the config file shows that it is version 1.3d. although both say that so i guess knowing what version it is wouldnt have helped anyway!
