Re: Name that Game Round 3 - THE ULTIMATE RETRO CHALLENGE!
Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be something completely bastardly that's going to make me hate you over and over again. It feels like we've left the realm of trivia and are now into minutea.

Question #200 clue
Pepahary noted early that there is an extra box on the left side of the torso. This is a picture of the screen with the game running, so that is part of the game and not a random sticker on a box cover. That is Duke Nukem, but this is not exactly a Duke Nukem game. I'm surprised nobody had played the game in question.MrPopo wrote:Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be something completely bastardly that's going to make me hate you over and over again.

The developer is defunct, and if you find a shot of that screen on the somewhat official web page that's still out there, the image is a 'bullshot' or a beta and the extra bit is in the wrong place. There are correct screenshots out there, but they're really low quality which is why I whipped out the camera as my screen cap software was making B&W ones for some reason.
I think its still trivia as it is an appearance of Duke that's a bit unexpected, but still enjoyable in its own right.
Here's a bit more:

So that would be a "yes" to my assertion.
I noticed that little box as well. When you mentioned that it was a screenshot I figured it was some piece of menu text added to one of the ports of the PC game. Originally I thought it was just some kind of sticker on your box.
