The winding melody of the guitar, and the way it has a distant "echo" alongside it, is fucking beautifully done. You wouldn't expect a fuckin' Duke Nukem game to evoke passion and desperation in its music, but there it is. Duke might treat a situation like a gleeful Sunday drive, but the reality of what he's going through - and what he's fighting to prevent - are harrowing, compelling experiences.
@Officer Barbrady welp. I mean he was an alcoholic, abusive and generally not good dude. But still, he put that it on my pc so I can't really blame him for everything
Thanks dad for letting me buy this game at a PC convention when I was probably way too young to be playing Duke Nukem already anyway, and certainly before I had a PC that could run it well.
I know right? ironic that the "budget" one was FAR more fun and more in-tune with Duke's overall everything than it's triple-A counterpart "DN: Forever"...!
This is it kiddos. This is the one. The final Duke Nukem game. The last time Duke was a one-hundred percent certified *_BAD-ASS._* (ugh I think I got randy grease on me just from saying that word.)
Man... I love Duke a lot, and I appreciate the effort _Forever_ went thru (they at least rescued Duke from vaporware hell), but so much of 3D Duke was gone. Once this awful b***h era ends, Duke will return. _Screencap me on that._
I have been listening this track for a few days now and I noticed a considerable increase in muscle mass, as well as testosterone levels - 10/10 , definitely recommended...

+Matthew Diffin You would, of course, understand if I take such a claim with a grain of salt? However, if you are legit, then I would like to say fantastic work on this remix. I spent an embarrassingly long time on the title screen listening to this. ....and still do from time to time.
My name is Matthew Diffin. I'm listed in the credits under Musical Contributions. One of my great friends from Michigan was the sound designer for Sunstorm Interactive back then. I had a great time doing this soundtrack and others for Sunstorm! From Flint, MI, I was a guitarist for a band called Tempter that was an early version of Grindcore pioneers, Repulsion! All is true!
Matthew Diffin Okay, I'll bite. So what's the deal with the "studio" prototype version of this song, if I might ask? Not to say it's bad or anything, but I'm kind of curious how that's a thing, and the relation it has to this version.
Civvie used this in one of his outros and I thought it was a fan made grabbag remix and not an official one so I gave up looking for it until this got recommended to me.
Hemang Chauhan in my opinion it's the best version of the theme. Megadeath does a great job but Manhattan has a little bit more... continuous flow I guess?
This game was so silly, and yet so badass. I remember actually finding all the secrets, even so far as finding duplicate Nukes in some levels for that 100+% completion. God I loved it.
I am so happy civvie spread this song to the world, nothing conveys the feeling of badass quite like this song. Thank you, Civvie! #FreeCivvie Edited due to multiple iterations of the same words #FreeCivvie
Honestly this game had to be my favorite Duke Nukem game hands down. Was so fun honestly, like just figuring out how not to die from bosses, and that damn level with the metal detector that takes all your crap... was crazy interesting and fun. The other stuff didn't help either :D Would love to get a faithful remake that's essentially just a visuals, gameplay, content and mechanics upgrade, with all the same levels and junk :D
I thought I was spent at the bench. Then this song kicked in, and I banged out another 15 reps. Jury's out on whether I hurt myself. My right triceps feels like I hit it on something but and didn't. But damn did it feel good to get that second wind lol
@@themightymemearmy8001 i understand that some people prefer Duke 3D but to me it always felt like just a worse copy of Doom. I loved the first 2 2D Duke games though
I got this game when I was 13. This song made me a man! That's the official soundtrack of my manhood =D 11 years later, this is still one of my favorite games!
@@Neskess 20th Anniversary World Tour is the only option on Steam because of Randy (This is why Civvie calls it the Cursed Randy Version as well as it not having any of the expansions) the Atomic Edition is on a different store called The Zoom Platform and that has the DC Caribbean and Christmas expansions but it uses Dosbox if you are fine with that. I don’t have a good computer so I can’t use a source port like EDuke or Raze. I want to play Alien World Order but don’t want to pay money for the Cursed Randy Version
This is soundtrack of my childhood. The best grabbag ever with balls of steel ;) i used to launch the game just to listen to this theme over and over again

Thank you Civvie for bringing us here.
This is imo by far the most underrated game in the series, and this theme (as well as the DNF98 theme) is the best version of it out there.
This theme is great, but Total Meltdown (PS1) is the best. My opinion of course.
@@BreakOutOfYourTrance Oh yeah, Total Meltdown is definitely up there for sure too!
And that's still being short of praise, this game made me wish Duke continued as 2.5D platformer series.
