We panicked and released a game update that changed the name to Duke Nukum. After releasing the original platformer we got a letter from them saying that we violated their rights to the Duke Nukem name, because they had a Duke Nukem character in their Captain Planet TV show. We also had a short-lived legal spat with the Ted Turner Network.

We got DU to back off by agreeing to always use the full Duke Nukem name in all of our marketing materials, which satisfied their attorney. Apogee's attorney successfully beat them back because Duke University didn't have any conflicting video games, and Duke University and Duke Nukem are hard to confuse. DU wasn't happy and tried to get us to change the character name. After that game, we used Jon St John as Duke's highly memorable voice in all future Duke games.Īfter we released the first Duke platforming game in 1992 it wasn't more than a few months later that we got a legal letter from Duke University telling us we were violating their trademark. Our online manager, Joe Siegler, was the first voice of Duke Nukem, saying the line, "I'm back", at the start of Duke Nukem 2. Not long after Todd proposed the idea of Nukem as the last name and a character name was born. Soon after I proposed the name Duke as the first name because it's a strong sounding name.
I remember telling Todd Replogle that we should do what they do with comic books and name the game after a lead character. Heavy Metal was the original proposed name for the original Apogee Duke Nukem platformer. Dog AI is hard though, so this idea never made it into the game. Duke didn't name the dog and just called him "Dog". We thought a lot about the idea of Duke rescuing a dog in Duke Nukem Forever who also became a helpful fighting and fetching companion on several levels.
(The current 3D Realms leadership, bought by Embracer Group last year, was not part of Apogee when we released hits like Max Payne, Prey, Shadow Warrior, the many Duke games, etc.) Then, in 1994 I read a highly influential marketing book, Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind, which got me thinking of creating a new branding label for Apogee, and eventually 3D Realms was the brand we chose for our future 3D games, including Duke Nukem 3D. The first two Duke platforming games were released under the Apogee name. It was the third Apogee project lead by coder Todd Replogle (his first two were Caves of Thor and Dark Ages). It's hard to say whether this will suffer the same fate as the official Forever, but many will likely agree that it couldn't possibly be much worse.Apogee first started working on Duke Nukem back in 1991.
However, that's unlikely to put off too many fans, especially those who have been yearning to jump back into the boots of the cigar-smoking alien killer. Of course, because it's a game that was being built more than 20 years ago, it's visually dated. The build of Duke Nukem Forever 2001 was leaked online a few months ago, with much of its assets supposedly in-place, making the game pretty much playable.

They show some of the locales that will be featured, as well as some action sequences, and new music by Lee Jackson, who has been doing the music for the series since Duke 3D. In a report from DSO Gaming, a number of teaser trailers have been uploaded for what is being referred to as the "Duke Nukem Forever Restoration Project." As the name suggests, it will take the disastrous 2011 Duke Nukem release and reinstate the initial vision, specifically from 2001.
