subject: 3D Realms Megamix?

  I've been toying around with a fun idea in my head for awhile.  You know 
how Sega has a "Fighter's Megamix" where the VF2 and Fighting Vipers 
characters are in one package?  I was thinking that you people could try 
something like that.
  Basically, it would include Duke Nukem and Lo Wang into a "greatest hits" 
level collection.  Each character would only be able to use their particular 
weapons and powerups - so you can see just what is more useful, Holodukes or 
Smoke Bombs, or whether a Shrinker beats out the rail gun.
  As for the levels, they would be favourite, deathmatch-oriented levels such 
as LA Rumble and (at least I think so) Zilla Construction.
  Of course, this creates an interesting problem: RAM needs.  You would have 
to have a lot of sprites and sounds from each.  But given the fact that even 
Shadow Warrior can run on as little as 9 MB of RAM, and it needs 16, that 
isn't that much of an issue.
  My only real question is this: who would work on it?  I imagine you guys 
are polarized on either Duke Nukem Forever or Prey (or both!), and I know how 
much you people would like to get those out.  Conversely, this "3DR Megamix" 
may not take that much effort beyond picking sprites, levels and successfully 
play-balancing the two heroes.  Think of it as a somewhat-easier Plutonium 
Pak.
