- A shareware version is available (contains Episode 1).
Essential improvements
Level editor
A Level Editor is available. According to the documentation, it also make a good cheating tool for familiarizing yourself with levels before entering them (just don't push the wrong button). Run using DOSBox.
Mods
Duke Nukem 1: The Returning
- Duke Nukem 1: The Returning is a fan-made episode containing 10 levels.
- A single fan-made level can be found here.
Run in DOSBox (retail)
Duke Nukem runs in DOSBox at default settings. Ensure cycles= is still at its default setting of cycles=auto.[6]
Episode Launcher
- Duke Nukem had each episode as its own executable, making it annoying to configure if you have the retail version. Luckily you can save the following as a .bat file and run it in DOSBox to get around this annoyance.
- Supports the Map Editor and the custom episode "The Returning", though requires it to be placed in the
returnfolder (DOS 8.3 compatible naming scheme). Also requires only one (not both) versions of the add-on to be installed.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_savesfolder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (240160) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
