The game also features a hidden control scheme made just for the analog pad that is activated by entering the Jevons Control"" cheat. This feature is more reminiscent of modern dual joystick controlled games by mapping movement to the face buttons, and the analog stick used to look around. During gameplay, pause the game and then press {{Y}}, {{Y}}, {{Z}}, {{Z}}, {{X}}, {{X}}, {{Y}}, {{X}}, {{Z}} on the controller. It will then map the controller with these functions:"

''Duke Nukem 3D'' makes use of the Saturn's internal battery back-up as the [[Saturn Backup Memory]] to save data for progress. This only works for the Single Player game. The game also keeps track of individual player stats for the Death Tank mini game. Death Tank can be unlocked with a game save from ''[[PowerSlave|PowerSlave/Exhumed]]'' and/or ''[[Quake]]'' so long as they're stored on either the internal or external Back-Up Ram. To load and save data from the Ram Cart, the save file must be created on the internal battery back-up first, then moved over via the Memory Manager.

Duke Nukem 3D is a Sega Saturn first-person shooter developed by Lobotomy Software and published by Sega. A port of the titular 1996 IBM PC game Duke Nukem 3D, it was first released in the United States and Europe in October 1997[1][7], and notably takes advantage of the analog features of Sega's 3D Control Pad.

Gameplay

The Saturn port also contains an exclusive level named "Urea 51."

Controls

"Duke Nukem 3D makes use of either the digital controller or the 3D Control Pad for more precise control. Since not all the actions could be mapped onto either controller, the game does not allow you to crouch.

Duke Nukem 3D was one of the few games that made use of the Sega Saturn's Sega NetLink modem for multiplayer between two players. Players had the choice of playing through the Single Player game cooperatively or competitively through "Dukematch" across all the levels in the game. While in-game the Saturn Keyboard or NetLink Keyboard Adapter can be used to text chat with the other player. However, the keyboard cannot be used to control player movement and is used strictly for typing text.

History

Release

Duke Nukem 3D is part of Sega's Deep Water label to recognize games created for mature audiences.

Versions

Rather than running in Ken Silverman's original Build engine used to power the PC version of Duke 3D, the Saturn version runs on Lobotomy's own in-house 3D "SlaveDriver" engine, previously seen with PowerSlave/Exhumed and set to be seen again with Quake. Improvements to the SlaveDriver engine in this iteration include the ability to support larger maps, as well as more dynamic lighting.

Conversely, the Build engine was at its heart a 2D system making use of raycasting solutions (much like the earlier Wolfenstein 3D and Doom), leading to visible distortions when the player looks up or down. The converted maps of the Saturn version mean this is no longer an issue, and many other graphical quirks associated with raycasting are also eliminated.

Like most console conversions of the era, the game aims for a 30FPS frame rate but regularly misses its target. It does, however, perform more consistently than its rival PlayStation conversion, whose use of a Build-esque software rendering engine and unlocked frame rate causes gameplay to run between rare highs of 60FPS and lows of 10FPS, depending on the scene.

The Saturn version is also more accurate than the Nintendo 64 conversion, retaining more of the PC game's original graphics and offering an in-game soundtrack. However, the N64 port benefits from the system's analogue controls, smoother frame rate and split-screen multiplayer option.

Save data

Duke Nukem 3D makes use of the Saturn's internal battery back-up as the Saturn Backup Memory to save data for progress. This only works for the Single Player game. The game also keeps track of individual player stats for the Death Tank mini game. Death Tank can be unlocked with a game save from PowerSlave/Exhumed and/or Quake so long as they're stored on either the internal or external Back-Up Ram. To load and save data from the Ram Cart, the save file must be created on the internal battery back-up first, then moved over via the Memory Manager.
