Im pretty sure TFS came after because it wouldn't play on my 386 AMD
40 Mhz 4 MB which Wolf 3D rocked on...

Duke 3D was groundbreaking at the time. It had 2 axis mouse look,
creative weapons like the ice gun where you shatter the frozen enemy
and the shrink gun where you step on it. It also had good location
graphics, like city scapes, plus collapsing buildings and mountains,
not to mention great dialog for the time... Too bad Duke Nukem Forever
never materialized...

Yeah maybe Duke Forever should've used the Quake 3 engine like Serious
Sam and got it over and done with... Now all we have is Duke Fornever
still haunting us 12 years later...

Duke is no doubt rolling in his grave...

BTW, did anyone actually beat Serious Sam 1???

I gave up after the arena of endless Rhinos...
