Not the Best Duke Nukem 3D experience (But not the worst either!)

"Ho, ho, holy crap! Santa's got a shotgun."

This, is a straight-up more-silly-than usual Duke Nukem 3D Official Add-On (level pack/total conversion mod). It's got a prominent Winter/Christmas Theme. You fight elves that kidnapped Santa. The first two levels are basically 'reverse versions' of the first two maps in the original game, where the exit is the entrance, and the entrance is the exit... They were actually a clever idea, but they feel like the poor man's version of the original levels (also kind of tricky to find some keys)

"Looks like you're on the naughty list... and my pipe bomb is the lump of coal."

It's about as good as Duke it Out in DC (Which I played New Years Day, 2021), the levels aren't as interesting but they are quite fun and festive, and actually had a lot of fun and cool ideas. Also the MIDI Xmas music is pretty good (assuming you don't get stuck in the level and are forced to listen to it forever) I thought this was better than Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach (and it was certainly better than I had expected it to be.)

"Dashing through the snow, with a shrink ray in tow... squish, squish, squish all the way."

It's main flaw is beside being pretty goofy, it's quite short only about 7 levels and took me maybe a few hours to finish.

"Hey Pig Cop, I've got a Christmas ham with your name on it... and it's about to get roasted!"

i figured out how to get it working: remove all original game files, copy the files from NWinter, and run NWinter.bat in eDuke32 (drag and drop the BAT file over the executable)

Yes, I stopped playing Starfield just to play this horrible little game on Xmas eve..

It's time for ☢️NUCLEAR WINTER☢️
