Are they serious about the minimum requirements?

Like the title says. I remember playing this on a 486 (66mghz) or maybe a first generation pentium 1 at like something with 90mghz with less than 32mb ram.

To each their own.

Thanks for the courteous and logical reply :)

That being said (or rather, re: what I've previously said), I *AM* glad though that the Steam version just might get some more Dukers out there. If EDuke32 (or JFDuke) will connect to the Steam version (possibly IP to IP, or using a third-party server browser such as "Yang"), I'm surely looking forward to kick y'alls butts in DukeMatch <grin>...

...or possibly some nice AI butt kicking co-op :)

Gawd, the days I wasted back in the day, modem-to-modem :)

wow this went way past where I thought the responses would come from. Having said that, a lot of good points there and I had forgotten all about the base steam requirements. I'm sure they are also accomodating for some extra networking "oomph" for when they add multiplayer

I remember how long it took to load Duke Nukem 3d levels back on a Pentium 133 haha, we had like 15min breaks in school. took like 5min to load in :P

the requirements are still low, every crappy computer can run this game even without a videocard!

On second though, may have had that confused with Doom, this may have been on the 133mghz machines.

Duke ran poorly on my 486 SX33 with 8 MB of RAM. It wasn't until I got a, I think, 166 Mhz Pentium that I could enjoy it full throttle. It ran seemingly perfectly on my friend's P-133 with 16MB RAM as well.

Yeah, my first PC was a 486 DX-2 80 MHz with first 4 and later 8 mb of RAM. It ran Duke3D quite ok with the 8 mb RAM. But after buying my 2nd PC (Pentium 133 with 16 mb RAM) I could finally play Duke3D the way it was designed to be.

486 CPU's of higher clockrates could run Duke3D quite ok, but you needed the DX version. The SX didn't have a math co processor, that's why they were much slower.

[AN BIFFED ELF!!!!]

You didn't need a DX for Duke3D. The game is entirely integer.

You do need cache though, Duke3D will tend to cause hiccups without cache.

Also, a PCI or VLB video card (such as an ATI Mach64, S3 Trio64v, etc) will prove to be very useful.

I remember playing this with a DX4 100 and an S3 Virge :) Good times.
