Duke Nukem – Zero Hour is a third-person shooter released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. Shifting away from the classic first-person perspective, this entry maintains Duke’s signature arsenal and attitude in a time-traveling adventure. Players must battle alien forces across different eras, including modern-day New York, the Old West, Victorian London, and an apocalyptic future, to stop them from rewriting history.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate each time period, defeat the alien invaders, and complete mission-specific objectives. You will need to manage ammunition and health while utilizing both classic Duke gadgets and unique, era-specific weapons.
Controls: Use the D-pad or analog stick (mapped to arrow keys) for movement. The A and B buttons (Z and X keys) are for jumping and interacting with the environment. Use the C-buttons (often mapped to WASD) to adjust your camera and select weapons, and the Start button (Enter) to pause or view your inventory.
Tips
- Save your heavy weapons, such as the Devastator, for boss encounters and tougher alien variants.
- Explore levels thoroughly. Each era is packed with hidden areas containing health kits, armor, and secret weapons that are crucial for survival.
- The sniper rifle found in the Victorian era is highly effective for taking out enemies from a safe distance before they spot you.
