The Duke is back: Apogee signs with Good Old Games

The Duke is back: Apogee signs with Good Old Games

Probably the biggest deal they've landed since Interplay (Fallout series), digital distribution service Good Old Games has announced the signing of Apogee Software to their list of publishers, meaning, effectively, the Duke is back.

Today, Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition is released for $5.99, DRM-free, Vista/XP compatible and packed with extras and mod resources as is typical.

Other games from Apogee to come over the next few weeks include Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, Blake Stone: Planet Strike and Rise of the Triad: Dark War, all for $5.99 as well.

“Duke Nukem 3D at GOG.com? Hell yeah! We're very excited about adding this landmark game to GOG.com,” said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. “Apogee’s titles are all top-notch, and we know that our great fan community will love them all.”

“Like Apogee, GOG.com is bringing back legendary titles, not only for the hardcore gamers that made these titles popular, but also for an expanded online community eager to play the classic games that started it all,” says Matt Tolleson, VP of Business Development for Apogee. “Teamed with GOG, Apogee is looking forward to providing a little nostalgia as well as a lot of fun to that community!”
