While the final release went on to become the game that derailed the beloved Duke Nukem franchise, this 21-year-old build will no doubt be intriguing for many.

According to a report from DSO Gaming, it wasn't supposed to see the light of day until next month, but perhaps the attention it was receiving motivated the leakers to release it early. But for those interested, a build of the game from all the way back in 2001 has leaked and can now be downloaded. The latest entry in the Duke Nukemseries came out in 2011 and was considered a flop, largely because the game spent so long in development that its themes aged, and it couldn't live up to all the changes that it had gone through. Then there was Duke Nukem Forever, which stopped the franchise dead in its tracks, but a very early build of the game has now become public. Sitting up there with the likes of Quake and Doom, this entry into the antics of the titular Duke is considered one of the best FPS games of its era, with its high-octane action, adult themes, and satire on uber-masculine Hollywood. And then their dreams became reality - the world was flooded with hordes of alien invaders, which means - Duke Nyukem returns! Neither the mean cops, nor the evil space aliens, nor the giant monsters - no one and nothing will knock the brave muscular blond out of the way and distract him from his favorite occupation - sarcastically grinning, saving the world and protecting the beauties! For the reprisals against the foes, the legendary strong-bearer has an impressive arsenal of firearms.There was a time when 3D Realms/Apogee was part of an early movement in gaming that helped usher in the first-person genre, most notably with the 1996 release of Duke Nukem 3D. Since his last adventure, it has been almost ten years, but players around the world have not lost hope for a new meeting with him for a minute. Prepare to reincarnate in the coolest, crazy and desperate hero in the history of computer and video games.
