Do you play modern FPSs?

I do! I play shooters from every era. Using the d-pad for movement isn't too dissimilar from WASD movement IMO, and the joystick for aiming is standard. I thought it worked quite well.

What about the original Duke Nukem from 1991?

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You mean this? It's a Swedish release, can't find the year, but it has over 1 Mb of graphics and animations!

The og is a side scroller

That's the one I'm talking about. I'm trying to get it for free online, but I can't find it.

I've played the OG Duke a little bit on modern PC, but otherwise I don't have much experience with it.
