    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.

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

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

            It’s literally the second result when you Duckduckgo “1991 Duke Nukem”.
            https://www.playdosgames.com/play/duke-nukem
            You can play it in your browser or download the installer under “Files” further down the page.

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