Night Vision Goggles
From Duke Nukem Wiki
| |||||||||||||||||
The Night Vision Goggles are an inventory item in Duke Nukem 3D and its ports.
[edit] Description
The Night Vision Goggles amplify all ambient light levels, allowing the exploration of dark areas. As suggested by their green lenses, the resulting brightened image is tinted green.
Any enemy that is looked at through the Goggles is shaded a very bright green so that they stand out.
Picking up new Night Vision Goggles when holding a partially used pair will cause you to discard your currently held pair and pick up the new pair. The batteries in the partially used Goggles will therefore be lost, so it is wise to collect them carefully.
[edit] Trivia
- While the Goggles display all enemies in a very bright green, they do not do the same for other sources of heat (such as babes or machinery).
[edit] The Night Vision Goggles in other games
- In Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach, the Night Vision Goggles are (paradoxically) renamed the Sunglasses.
- The console ports have the Goggles work by decreasing the amount of shading the level has, thus making everything appear brighter. This is presumably to avoid the aforementioned failure of the Goggles in Duke Nukem 3D to display babes in the same bright green as enemies.
