Jevons control

Pause the game and press . This will adjust the control scheme to better suit the 3D Control Pad, mapping movement to the face buttons and using the analog stick to look around. While Duke will be technically controllable through a standard control pad, and on the d-pad will double up as both turning left and right, and changing weapons.

The control mapping is as follows:

• : Action
• : Move backwards
• : Strafe right
• : Use item
• : Strafe left
• : Walk forward
• : Shoot
• : Jump
• or : Select item
• or : Select weapon

To play the whole game in this mode, the code will need to be inputted at the start of every level.

The code is named after Dan Jevons, who was hired as a game designer by Lobotomy Software after its release of Powerslave. Jevons had previously worked for GameFan magazine, and prior to that, UK publications published by EMAP, and was one of several journalists at the time supporting this PC-like style of control scheme.

Death Tank Zwei

If a Powerslave or Quake save file is found on the system memory when booting up Duke Nukem 3D, a "Death Tank (Zwei)" option will appear. This is a "sequel" to the hidden Death Tank minigame in Powerslave; a multiplayer-only game where up to eight players control "tanks", firing at each other similar to the game Worms, but in real time.

If the player does not have a copy of Powerslave or Quake, the mode can reportedly be unlocked by destroying every toilet and urinal in the game.
