A Brief Word of Tribute

Let me just throw in a brief word of tribute for legendary gaming developer 3D Realms (also known as the original Apogee Software), which has shut down yesterday, after effectively running out of money.

I think most of us knew Duke Nukem Forever was not to be; but it is sad to see the developing team of such gems as Bio Menace and the original Duke Nukem games go down with it...

So long, 3D Realms - and thanks for all the aliens!

    Duke lives, just like Elvis and Andy Kaufman. Seriously though, the name can't just die, it still has some value. I predict another 12-year wait!

    As for 3DR, they haven't developed anything completely by themselves since the golden era of shareware games, so I guess it was a matter of time before they went under.
