Story:Duke Nukem is the debut of the world’s greatest wise-cracking, alien-punching, gun-toting badass - a man who would later go on to combine both ass-kicking and bubblegum in a revolutionary way. In a world ravaged by Dr. Proton’s villainous ambitions, the original video game action hero must rise against the evil scientist’s army of sinister Techbots. And although Duke isn’t exactly what the Doctor ordered, he’s exactly what the world needed.Show more

This needs to be dragged from the greasy fingers of Randel S. Pitchford III, it is a part of gaming history and deserves to be preserved, it isn't much but it was our first introduction to the Duke and lets not let Duke Nukem Forever be the last thing the character is remembered for.
The very first game that started a legend that would be known as Duke Nukem. Sure Duke 3D was a game changer that made the character recognizable by many, but the first Duke Nukem game is just as important since it is part of the main series. Duke shows off his one-man army capabilities for the first time against the evil Dr. Proton and his techbot army in this simple easy-to-play 2D side-scroller shooter. I especially found it hilarious how Proton would communicate with Duke via TV screens throughout the game. The levels allow for full exploration to find keys, powerups, and other secrets that can rack up big points for the high score like collecting the red balloons. Duke's legacy deserves to be forever preserved for future generations of gamers to enjoy and learn about the history why Duke was, and always will be a true king in gaming.
OG Duke Nukem was a very cool platformer, with large levels to explore, densely packed with secrets and traps. While not the most sophisticated, it was a blast to play and while I have it already here, I find extremely narrow-minded, unjust and unfair that Randy had Duke removed from pretty much everywhere but steam and gatekept the remasters of Duke 1 & 2 for the Evercade.
Duke deserves his spot on GOG back, keeping him out of here is plain absurd.
DuckTales: RemasteredDuckTales Remastered takes the classic Disney platforming adventure to a whole new level. All of the visuals from the 8-bit game have been beautifully re-created as hand-drawn and animated sprites, across a backdrop of luscious, re-envisioned level backgrounds. Furthermore, original Disney Character Voices talent, including some from the cartoon TV series, bring in-game characters to life with charm and wit, while the classic melodies of the original soundtrack are given a modern twist. The game also features an all new tutorial level where players can get familiar with the iconic pogo jump and cane swing, while Scrooge McDuck's Museum allows players to track all their stats and compare their progress with others via global leaderboards.Action

Project I.G.I.: I'm Going InProject I.G.I.: I'm Going In (released in Europe as simply Project I.G.I.) is a tactical first-person shooter developed by Innerloop Studios and released on December 15, 2000 by Eidos Interactive. It is one of the first computer games to feature realistic weaponry and tactical combat situations.
Pursue and defeat a homicidal ex-Russian Colonel before she turns Europe into a nuclear wasteland in Project IGI: I'm Going In. This first-person shooter emphasizes stealth and guile instead of massive firepower. Jones has to sneak into the toughest military installations in Eastern Europe, and once inside, use his skills in thievery, computer hacking, sabotage, and reconnaissance to stop the madwoman. The enemy's Artificial Intelligence will react to his every action and use military tactics to track his position. In order to counter its surveillance, bunkers, tanks, and gunships, Jones is equipped with NATO spy gear and assault weapons. If the odds get stacked too high against him, he can call in a napalm strike via his Map Computer.
Upon release the game garnered mixed reviews due to a number of shortcomings, such as poorly programmed Artificial intelligence, lack of a mid-game save option, and the lack of multiplayer features. However it was praised for its superb sound design and graphics, thanks in part to its use of a proprietary game engine that was previously used in Innerloop's Joint Strike Fighter. It was followed up in 2003 by I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike.Action Stealth
