Duke Nukem 3D (CIB)

When Duke Nukem 3D blasted onto the scene, it redefined what a first-person shooter could be — fast, violent, hilarious, and absolutely not for the faint of heart. But on the Sega Saturn? It wasn’t just a port — it was a power move.

While other consoles fumbled with frame drops, butchered controls, and missing features, the Saturn version came in guns blazing. Developed by the legends at Lobotomy Software (the same mad geniuses behind Exhumed and Quake on Saturn), this port uses their custom SlaveDriver engine, delivering buttery-smooth gameplay, enhanced lighting effects, and custom tweaks that make it the definitive home console version — yes, even over the PlayStation and N64.

This version retains all the iconic levels, outrageous weapons, and one-liners that made Duke a legend — including full single-player, local multiplayer, and that glorious, gritty ‘90s tone that parents hated and gamers loved. The Saturn’s 2D and sprite handling makes the enemies look sharper, the performance feel tighter, and the attitude hit harder.

And let’s be real: if you’re collecting Saturn games, this is one of those titles that proves your console didn’t just keep up — it outgunned the competition.
