Questions
Is Duke Nukem II really free?
It is free to play here, with no account and no payment.
Do I need to download or install Duke Nukem II?
No. It runs in your browser from one click on the Play button. There is nothing to download, and no files to find or pick.
What are the Duke Nukem II controls?
Use the arrow keys to move, Ctrl to jump and Alt to fire. Enter chooses in the menus and Esc opens the menu.
Does Duke Nukem II save my progress?
The game's own save menu (F2) works while you play, but saves made there were not confirmed to survive closing the page, so do not rely on them.
