Bye bye Duke...

... we'll miss you! "Veteran games developer 3D Realms has closed down because of a lack of funds," reports the BBC here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8037688.stm.

He's not quite dead yet

I have to admit spending (wasting ) many hours with Duke3D and Doom / Doom ][ but you can't spend that long developing software on a brand. I remember being quite excited at the prospect of Duke Nukem Forever being released but to be honest until I read your post I hadn't even thought of it over the last few years

Times change.

Edit: Let's ROCK
