Ok Joe, My intention was not to insult.  But I was bothered by the fact that
your selling the version upgrade instead of making it a whole new game.
I understand about why it's not compatible, and I am not wrong.  When there
was a patch to upgrade Doom v1.666 to 1.9, It was FREE! So upgrading every
player was no problem.  Someone... not necessarily you, or the other game 
ev-
elopers, has decided that the version upgrade needed to be sold.  Probably
because there was so much added.  My point is, call that Duke 4 and quit pre-
tending it's the same game just because it can load the levels of 1.3d
I feel screwed!  I MUST PURCHASE the new version or I get cut out of the loop
of multiplayer games and map sharing.  Good thing most folks had the sense to
put a copy of both on their system so that Obligatory Purchase Scheme could 
e
avoided.
