Levels (DN3D)
From Duke Nukem Wiki
The levels of Duke Nukem 3D take the player outdoors through rendered street scenes, military bases, deserts, flooded cities, space stations, moon bases and even Japanese villas. Many of the levels have a fairly non-linear design that allows players to thoroughly explore the levels a number of different ways and let them discover many secret areas. The non-linearity of the levels also allows them to be easily used in multiplayer games.
The levels of the game are the result of a number of people's work. The initials next to each level denotes who primarily created that level. (Information from DUKELVLS.TXT.)
- AB - Allen H Blum III
- LL - Richard Bailey Gray (The Levelord)
- RP - Randall Pitchford II
- KS - Keith Schuler
- GB - George Broussard
