Editing Duke Nukem 3D (section)

=== Console versions and add-ons ===
''Duke Nukem 3D'' was ported to many consoles of the time. All of the ports featured some sort of new content.

* '''''Duke Nukem 3D''''' ([[Game.com]]) was released in 1997 in the USA only. Unlike every other version of the game, Duke Nukem cannot turn; he can only move forward, backward, and strafe to the left or right. Due to the Game.com's monochrome screen, it is also the only version to lack color. It only includes four levels from each of the original three episodes for a total of 12 levels. These levels were modified to accommodate Duke Nukem's inability to turn.
* '''''Duke Nukem 3D''''' ([[Sega Saturn]]) was ported by [[Lobotomy Software]] and published by [[Sega]] in 1997. It retains the original name and uses Lobotomy Software's own fully 3D ''SlaveDriver'' engine.<ref name="SlaveDriver"/> This version uses the [[Sega NetLink]] for online gaming, and has built-in support for the Saturn's analog pad. It also includes a hidden multiplayer mini-game called ''[[Death Tank Zwei]]'', and an exclusive bonus level called Urea 51, accessed through the level "Fahrenheit". It was the final game branded by Sega of America under the Deep Water label, employed for games featuring adult content such as ''[[Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side]]''.
* '''''Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown''''' (titled simply ''Duke Nukem'' in Europe), the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] port released on December 2, 1997, was developed by [[Aardvark Software]].<ref>{{Cite web |author=I.
