|choice over at 3D Realms?
I don't know if there's one "of choice", but our Coke machine has
these things in it:
Coke Classic
Diet Coke
Caf Free Diet Coke
Sprite
Barq's
Nestea Iced Tea
Some sort of Orange Drink (not Orange Juice, though)
|  But why keep it a secret anyways?  Some people are expressing doubts abo
|Unreal because not much is known about it beyond MMX support, that server
Why?  Epic doesn't have a track record here.  We do, so we can afford
to say nothing more than "When it's done".  Prey and Duke Nukem
Forever were just voted #2 & #3 most anticipated games of the year
according to OGR magazine.  And this is by the readers, not the mag
people.

Perhaps, but the reaosn the "we aren't saying anything" about the game
issue is the fact that other companies are out there and theieve your
ideas.  Your idea is romantic, but it's not realistic.  It won't
happen.
|animation, the in-game cutscenes, and so on, and my interest was piqued.
Yawn.  We'll never do these, they add NOTHING to the game, and take
away development time.  The person doing that work could have been
better used doing something cooler.   Cutscenes suck.  Period.  You'll
never convince me otherwise.
|because of 3D Realms' own reputation.  I know next to nothing about the ga
|itself, beyond its using the Quake II engine and featuring Dr. Proton agai
Good.  That's all we want you to know.  Besides, it's Duke Nukem, what
more do you need to know?  :)
|  Actually, I believe it was out in 1996 - probably in the middle or near 
|end of that year.  But still, there were games that required anything from
|P60s to P90s back then - they could have done SOMETHING, even if it was ju

Stargunner was the final Apogee game, I don't remember offhand when it
came out, but it was in 1996.
|  I don't know the specifics, but I know for a fact that the requirements 
|include 3D hardware.  Hopefully, the Pentium II I'm aiming to get will
|suffice!
I believe the target is a Pentium 133 with a 3Dfx board.  However,
it's still the better part of the year away (into 99, probably), so
final specs are unknown.
|  I know that, but companies like TEN were practically BUILT on Duke 3D -
