Duke Nukem 3D Palm OS Port

Posted By: Ryan Tuesday, March 21, 2006 9:45:01 PM

MetaViewSoft has been working on a freeware port of Duke Nukem 3D for Palm OS. If you have the original game, you can get your classic Duke 3D action on with your PDA or smartphone.

Duke Nukem 3D for Palm OSDuke 3D is the Palm OS port of Duke Nukem 3D. The game was originally released for MS-DOS and desktop computers in early 1996. This port is based on the work of JonoF, who ported Duke 3D to windows (and has a video of Duke 3D running on a Tungsten T).

You will need to have copies of the original game files, even the demo version will work, stored on a memory card for the game to operate. Original game mod files are also supported.

Duke 3D requires Palm OS 5 or higher. Like most memory intensive games, the more dynamic memory you have available, the better. The developer also warns to use at your own risk, as crashes may occur. It supports a few different resolutions and is optimized for the Tapwave Zodiac.

MetaViewSoft has also contributed to, Quake, Doom and Hexen ports for Palm OS as well.

Thanks to PalmAddicts for the tip.

ok, I posted this late at night, and it seems I misinterpreted the news when I saw it on palmaddicts.

You are correct the port has not been updated since Jan, however we have not written about this game before on PIC so I'm not going to pull the article. I will change the references to it being updated. thanks.
