A fourth episode was released in an expansion pack called the Plutonium PAK, which upgraded the registered version to v1.4. The game had very impressive graphics and sound at the time. The game is full of voice clips and Duke makes comments at different points throughout the levels. If Duke seems to be enjoying himself, it's because his character demands it. You're Duke Nukem, aliens are on your planet, and you'd die before you would surrender. You're not just a soulless commando fragging for the sake of fragging. They made the game irreverent and raunchy which, ironically, gives your character purpose.
When Apogee decided to turn Duke Nukem into a first person shooter, they decided that it should set itself apart from the pack by bringing Duke's attitude with it. Published by 3D Realms (Apogee Software), FormGen Corporation
