The minimum system requirements are a 486DX2/66, 8
megs of RAM, CD-ROM (registered version), and local bus is recommended.
There are nine weapons in Duke's arsenal, but only six of them can be used in the shareware version.
Duke's Foot:
(Default key- #1) This weapon is your default, if used by hitting the tilde
"~" key, it becomes the only weapon that you can use in conjunction with another
weapon. I use this technique to kick out grilles & vents without wasting my ammo on
them, this also allows me to keep my weapons in hand. If your really coordinated,
you can get up close to an enemy to kick and shoot him at the same time. (My favorite use
is to shoot the default alien trooper just enough until he falls on his knees and starts
choking - Then I use the "~" key and kick him right in the head. That usually
does the trick!).
Pistol: 
(Default key- #2) You start the game with this weapon, (did you
check the box behind you to get more clips?). It is extremely weak and ineffective. It
will take you several shots to kill even the easiest of enemies. Furthermore, it has to
reload every 12 shots (A VERY important fact during a DukeMatch game). The reload is
automatic, but you will experience some delay when reloading. During reload you can't fire
back at an enemy (Did I say a VERY important fact during a DukeMatch game?).
Gun starts: 48 rounds
Ammo packs: 12 rounds
Maximum ammo: 200 rounds
Shotgun: 
(Default key- #3) Probably the choice weapon for most gamers.
Get up close to your target and its HISTORY. It can do a lot more damage then the pistol,
but it is still somewhat restricted. It can't do nearly as much damage as the RPG or pipe
bomb. Reloading of the shotgun can take some time, but is automatic. Most of the easier
enemies go down from one round of the shotgun.
Gun starts: 10 rounds
Ammo packs: 10 rounds
Maximum ammo: 50 rounds
Chaingun Cannon: 
(Default key- #4) The choice weapon when dispensing of several
enemies at once simply because it has incredible speed and power. Due to this guns rapid
speed you'll run out of ammo for it quite quickly. This gun has no reloading delay so you
can keep right on firing. If you can strafe well during a DukeMatch, then make sure you
use this weapon!)
Gun starts: 50 rounds
Ammo packs: 50 rounds
Maximum ammo: 200 rounds
RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade): 
(Default key- #5) The RPG is an extremely powerful weapon. Use
it with care because if you shoot something close by or in a confined area, chances are
the power from the explosion will kill or severely maim you. Just about any enemy can be
taken out with one hit by this gun, Assault Commanders usually take two (End bosses can
take several hits ). If your really good, you can eliminate more than one target if the
other target(s) are close enough to your intended victim.
Gun starts: 5
Ammo packs: 5
Maximum ammo: 50
Pipe Bombs: 
(Default key- #6) By far the pipe bombs are the most fun to
fool around with. They work like this: Once you throw a pipe bomb your weapon changes to
the pipe bomb trigger. At that point you can detonate the pipe bomb by pressing the fire
button or throw another without detonating the first bomb you threw out. In order to throw
another bomb, simply press the key you've designated for pipe bombs (Default weapon number
is six). This will change from the trigger, back to pipe bombs. At this point you can
throw another pipe bomb. Multiple bombs can be detonated by a single use of the trigger.
You can throw as many pipe bombs as you like before detonating them (Did I Mention a VERY
neat trick in DukeMatch play?).
Ammo packs: 5
Maximum ammo: 50
Microwave Expander:
Expander:
(Default key- #7 / Toggle between Shrinker and Expander) Refer
to "Shrinker" above. This weapon works exactly the same - but in reverse. Your
enemies will expand and grow until they burst because their insides were heated by
microwave action. Anyone or anything close to your victim will be jiblets too. Kinda like
alien popcorn wouldn't you say?
Gun starts: 10 rounds
Ammo packs: 20 rounds
Maximum ammo: 50 rounds
There are three types of multiplayer capabilities. There is the usual modem and serial link play. Modem play will require a 9600 baud modem (Minimum). Network play is also be available. Network play can include up to eight players. However, in the shareware version network play is limited to four players.

The Build Engine, which is produced by 3D Realms, is the engine used for Duke Nukem 3D and some other games. The Build Engine is similar to the engine used in Doom, but with advancements. 3D Realms Entertainment claims these advancements "include looking up & down, reflective floors, mirrors, true rooms above rooms, multi-colored lighting (DOOM only had white lights), moving vehicles, translucent sprites (for ghosts, explosions, windows, etc.), rotating sprites, high-res mode for Pentiums, user-modifiable parameters, underwater swimming, and much more."
Quite a few things make the Build Engine better. First of all, there are moving sectors. This allows, for example, doors to swing open (instead of the up/down Doom type doors), escalators, moving subway trains, etc. Secondly, the editor can edit user maps in full 3D mode. With this feature one can edit the levels (or "maps") and see exactly what it will look like during gameplay. Next, the frame rate is not limited to 35 frames per second. The game can run in unusual chained modes like 360 X 240, it can run in any VESA mode up to 800 x 600 (System requirements will be demanding for a VESA mode of 800 x 600 but most of today's systems can easily handle it!). Another great feature will be the 2D/3D map mode. You can edit in two different ways. You can run the 2D mode showing your lines, connection points, tags, etc or you can display a texturized 3D mode which actually shows the level details just like in the game!. Finally, the game supports different glasses. Red-blue glasses will be supported for a pseudo 3D effect and the Crystal Eyes virtual reality glasses for a real virtual reality system.

Unfortunately you can not import weapons from other build engine games into Duke Nukem 3D. The registered version comes with utilities to import graphics and sounds, but importing a weapon would require coding.
Yes, but you won't be able to do much at all. The different games have different sector tags and ways of defining what the sectors do. You could do some very basic editing, but nothing interesting. You may be able to import some graphics and/or sounds if the formats are compatible.
The Build Engine was programmed by Ken Silverman. It is owned by 3D Realms. They have agreed to license it to other companies for their games (See section 3.3 above for a partial listing).

This is a listing of the secret and bonus areas
from each level. DO NOT read any further unless your really stuck. O.K. - I warned
you! If your like me I don't like to leave a level until I have discovered ALL the
secrets and/or secret levels (Especially the Secret Levels!).
1. Underneath the "Innocent" sign (located outside) is an RPG. To get the RPG, you need to do quite a bit of jumping. First, jump onto the brown crate in the street underneath the sign. Secondly, Jump from the brown crate to the inclined ledge which is next to the crate. Finally, jump to the ledge just underneath the Innocent sign. Take note, the secret isn't the RPG, but the ledge underneath the Innocent sign. (It's possible to trigger the secret for the end-game count and not obtain the RPG).
2. There is a hidden apartment near the Innocent sign. To reach it you must jump on top of the brown crate located below the Innocent sign. Jump to the inclined ledge. Finally jump into the middle window to find the hidden apartment which contains a box of ammo for the RPG. Be aware, you are not credited with finding the secret apartment unless you move close to the couch inside the apartment. That is what triggers the secret. Another way to enter is jump on top of the parking sign located near the burning dumpster. From there, jump onto the inclined ledge below the windows. The final step is to jump into one of the two windows.
3. Inside the hidden apartment there is a door that is being covered by a poster. Open that door in front of the "Attack Of Bleached Blonde Biker Bimbos" sign. Inside you'll find a bottle of steroids.
6. There is a hidden room with a door in the Projection room. To open it, stand to the left of the fire extinguisher and press your use key. Inside you'll find a box of shotgun shells and.... you guessed it - more aliens!, This secret can also be reached through the ventilation shaft. This other entrance is found in the bathroom wall vent cover above the bathroom stalls. Shoot or kick the vent cover to enter the ventilation shaft up to the hidden room.
7. While in the projection room, turn on the projector switch and watch the dancer appear on the screen. Do you see that crack in the screen? Take your new-found RPG and blow a hole into it to reveal another secret area behind the screen itself. (God your a stud-muffin, do you always have that effect on the ladies?) For those that are aiming challenged, you can also use a pipe bomb to open the hole in the screen. Here you will find a jetpack (needed for the other secret area and bonus area), shotgun ammo, and aliens.
8. The final secret area is in a hidden apartment room next to the theater marquee, behind the palm tree. The easiest way to get there is to jump down on the building ledge before you cross the small bridge that leads to the end of the level Nuke button. Walk around the ledge until you reach the front of the building next to the palm tree. Jump on top of the palm tree and go through the window into the secret "red" apartment. Inside you will find a RPG, chaingun, and pipe bombs (and a pretty cool cable TV show!) If your jumping challenged, use your jetpack to fly through the window.
By playing the Duke Nukem arcade game in the arcade you open a secret door. Walk up to the game and try using it. Duke will say a great one-liner which lets you know the door opened. It is located to the right of the Duke arcade machine. If you decide to jump into the small alcove, and the door closes, there is a toggle switch inside that will open the door from the inside. (This is one of my favorite DukeMatch hiding spots!)
Jump onto the trashcan outside the arcade entrance while facing the wall, You'll see an alcove open above you with a small medkit, box of pipe bombs, and a pair of night vision goggles. (Tell me you didn't shoot the garbage can in a fire-fight with an alien trooper!).
While you are on the exit bridge turn on your jetpack and fly up as
high as you can. Once you reach the top you'll see two gun turrents mounted on
opposite walls. Take both turrents out as they do register in the enemy count at the end
of the level. At the top you will see a hidden alcove that was guarded by one of the gun
turrents, which contains two boxes of shotgun shells and a jetpack.
Misc Info - You can enter the front of the theater by shooting through the ticket booth window once you find the RPG.
1. Inside the Forbidden Videos & Books there is a hidden holoduke and healing atom. To reach this secret go to the back left corner of the bookstore, behind the counter, opposite the security monitor. Jump on top of the bookshelf to get the healing atom. Reveal the hidden door by pushing against the wall in the corner to find the holoduke.
2. Inside the Forbidden Videos & Books are several book cases. The middle bookcase along the wall conceals some pipe bombs and armor.
3. Walk down the dark hallway past the locked door in Forbidden Videos & Books, follow the corridor to a small passageway to the right of the elevator. There you will find a healing atom, alien trooper and a pig cop. This secret is easier to locate when using the night vision goggles.
4. There are two ways to access a hidden area in the sewers, which contains steroids and a holoduke:
A.) Use the blue key card to demolish the building opposite the key card switch. Pick up the yellow key card in the wreckage and locate a manhole cover which is found in the demolished building. Use a RPG or a pipe bomb to blow-open the manhole cover. Jump into the manhole and follow the sewer to the end, take out the Octabrain. At the end if you look to your left you'll see an inclined area. This ramp leads upwards to the bathroom in the strip club. Here you'll find the holoduke and steroids. Unfortunately, you cannot enter the strip club from the sewer because the door is locked.
B.) The alternative way to locate this secret is enter the only stall in the strip club's bathroom. The back wall of the stall is a locked door which can only be unlocked from the bathroom side. Once you open the door you'll be at the top of the secret ramp which leads into the sewer, the goodies will be on a shelf to your right.
5. Near the back left corner of the dance area is a couch. By standing on this couch you'll open a door on the right-side wall behind the dancers. The door only stays open for a very limited amount of time so you'll have to hurry to make it before the door closes. Inside you'll find a chaingun and a box of chaingun ammo. (There is a toggle switch which opens the door in case it closes while you are inside).
6. There is a ventilation shaft on the right-side wall in the dance area. You'll have to shoot the vent cover and use the table to jump into it. This passageway leads to the backstage area. As you crawl through the shaft you will pick up a healing atom and a box of pipe bombs. The backstage area leads to the level exit.
7. A pair of night goggles can be found backstage on the ledge next to the lever that operates the curtains. To get there up there you can jump from the ledge leading to the attic or use a jetpack.
8. The Backstage attic will have two wooden crates. Look at the wall behind these wooden crates. It has a small illuminated area. This is actually a door. Swing open the door to reveal a medkit.
When you are inside the bathroom at Forbidden Videos & Books using the dryer will cause a door to open in the middle of the bathroom (between the hand dryer and the stall) revealing a pair of night goggles.
Outside (directly opposite where you started), go toward the "bar" building and use the inclined ventilation shaft (next to the burning garbage can) to access the ledge to the left of the shaft. Here you'll find ammo and some health.

1. After lowering the electric chair (where you
start Level
2. Shoot the 2 stained glass windows in the church chapel and push the face on the chapel alter. This causes the cross to turn upside-down and open a door behind the stained glass window on your left. Take out the Octabrain and enter the door which leads you through a tunnel where you can pick up a chaingun and see a "DOOMED" space marine.
4. The jail cell with the toilet has a bed. Push against the bed to reveal a crawl space. Inside the crawl space you'll find RPG ammo.
5. In the outside gun turrent area there are small inclined ledges on either side of the locked door. Jump onto one of the ledges, then onto the flat level where the turrents are. Jump onto the ledge above the locked door and walk through the wall to find some healing atoms.
9. Inside the submarine, there is a hidden door on the wall behind the crate. Inside this room you will find the ship's reactor core and a Medkit.
10. At the door between the submarine and the gun turrent area, you will find a switch on a ledge to unlock a door. Jump onto the ledge, crawl and hit the space bar to open a small alcove containing night vision goggles.
In the room where you can witness an execution, there is a different color wall that opens to reveal a holoduke (on your left as you face the electric chair).
In the rotating gear room, jump onto the short gear and then onto a ledge to pick up some health. Here there is also a secret wall that opens to reveal night vision goggles.
In the holographic head - central control room, look for the vent shaft cover. Shoot-out the cover and crawl into the ventilation shaft. Here you'll find some armor. Don't go too far or you'll fall into the corridor opposite the rotating gears (Falling is BAD, shooting aliens is GOOD).
At the very end of one of the cell block halls there are some yellow C-9 canisters. Shoot at the canisters to cause them to explode revealing some health and another way back to the cell with the bed.
One of the jail cells contains a poster with a blue background. Walk through the poster to a hidden underground passageway containing a pipe bomb. Use the pipe bomb to create another passageway to the submarine.
1. At the beginning of the level, underwater near the sub, look for an underwater cave. There is an octabrain at the opening of the cave. Follow the tunnel all the way to the end. You will see pipe bombs and more Octabrains. When you come out of the water you'll be in a secret area with barrels and a cocooned woman. Blow up the wall behind the barrels to get out.
2. Stand on top of the sunken sub and walk through the fire burning on top. This causes a secret place to open inside the sub. Re-enter the sub, go to the top to collect some armor and a Medkit.
3. Go to the ledge that overlooks the sunken sub and has the blue access card. Both of the alcoves that have a mounted gun turrent have secret doors. Only the one on the right counts as a secret in the end-level count. Jump to the right alcove & open the secret door in the back on the right-side wall and you'll find RPG ammo. (The alcove on the left cannot be reached without a jetpack. The level designer assumes you cannot have a jetpack without using a cheat code. Once you jetpack over, the hidden door is on the left wall near the back. Inside the wall will say "How did you get here?") Near the front of the hidden room on the right wall open another hidden door. It contains a holoduke.
4. After you enter the structure using the blue access card walk to the part were the hallway begins to bend. The wall on your right opens to reveal an elevator leading to a room of alien troopers and a chaingun.
5. In the processing area take the conveyor belt past the small slime pit. Crawl off the conveyor belt into the slime and open the wall on the left side. The back wall of the landing opens where you can collect the chaingun ammo.
6. After the red toxic area the conveyor belt brings you to a room
with two cylinders. Activate the blue circuit switch on the wall to open the cylinders.
Jump in the left cylinder to get some healing atoms.
7. In the flood area, once the water level is raised, there is a "V" shaped rock, the right side leads to a cave that you have to jump to. Go to the rear of the cave and jump onto a small ledge to get RPG ammo, a Medkit, and a shotgun. (TIP - This is very dark, you may need to use your night vision goggles).
8. Rock Wall - I After jumping off the right side of
the "V" shaped rock, on to the landing, you will see a crack on the wall to your
left. Blow the wall open with your RPG or pipe bomb to reveal a small cave and an alien
trooper.
9. Rock Wall - II Once inside the small cave you will notice another crack on the wall, blow this open too. Collect a healing atom and see another crack in the wall to your left.
10. Rock Wall - III Blow open yet another crack on the wall of this cave for the last secret in this area and a shortcut back to the start of the level.
11. In the control room with the large door, to the right of the switch that operates the water level, there is a secret door and crawl space. Duck to enter the crawl space to get to some shotgun ammo and scuba gear.
12. After going through the double doors and the rotating gears, you'll come to a place where you travel through the tunnel with the flow of water. Keep an eye on the right-hand side wall for a crack. Blow it open using a pipebomb or RPG. Inside you'll see a Medkit and a transporter. Use the transporter to reach a secret area with aliens and RPG ammo.
13. At the start of the green tunnel look for the source waterfall. Right above it is a ventilation fan. Shoot the fan out and jump on the ledge on the right-hand side of the room. Inside you'll find two healing atoms.
14. In the sewer rapids area (your moving pretty fast) stay to the left side of the wall, the last lighted part of the sewer before the end there's a small bump-out area. There's also a crack in the wall. Blow the wall open using a RPG or pipebomb. This will reveal some aliens, ammo, and also contains the secret exit to level 6 !
After you pass the rotating gears you are in an
area with two black wall panels. The upper-half of the wall in the back right corner is
transparent. Go through it to collect the armor and scuba gear.
Under the water in the flooded area, you can blow open one of the
walls in the center to reveal some goodies.
1. The large room facing the fire pit area has a wall on the left that has a secret door concealing some steroids.
2. In the ceremonial fire pit room, jump into the fire surrounded by high stone walls on all sides. This will transport you to a locked room by the rope bridge. On the ledge there are two healing atoms. You'll also notice some aliens have just transported in.
3. In the secret room mentioned above in #2, jump on to a stepping stone. Use it to reach an alcove in the wall to your right. Collect the RPG ammo.
4. After climbing up along the lava falls all the way to the top, shoot the weak spot in the wall to open a long passageway with a variety of ammo. The area at the far end of this passageway is the actual secret that counts at the end of the level.
5.
Pressing the switch at the top of the lava falls opens a passageway leading to a secret
cave. Follow the passageway until you come to a large bon-fire with some healing atoms and
a girl dancing wildly. Duke also tells you what's on his mind!
6. On the wall to the right outside entrance to the spaceship, there is a secret door
leading to a small plateau and a healing
atom.
After you enter the "blue key" door, there is a dark area to your left. If you use the night vision goggles, you will see "Go with the flow" written on the wall.
Go up the winding stairs in the cave area where you can hear chanting, you will come to a landing with a window, You will find health and armor on the ledge.
From the area described above, go down until you reach a small spring waterfall. Jump into the waterfall and behind it you will find a chaingun.
In the ceremonial room with fire, press both red hands on the wall. A door will open to reveal an RPG.
From this area described above, jump onto the alcove where you will find a pair of night vision goggles.
From the beginning of the lava area, go to your right (The side with the shrink-ray). Use a jetpack to fly into the cave with the shrink-ray. On the wall you will see a message "You are not supposed to be here - LevelLord".(This is reminiscent of some Quake levels)
After you first come upon the spaceship, you'll come to the part of the level in which you must jump from pillar to pillar. If you look at front of the first pillar you'll see the "Dopefish Lives" message. (This message is near the bottom, the easiest way to see it is put the game in "God mode" - Jump down, and once you reach the bottom, begin looking for it on the pillar).
As you face the huge ship door the wall behind you in the right
corner is actually a door, open it and follow the path up until you reach the healing atom.
1. After you obtain the blue keycard in the room with the 2 force fields, go back into the room with the slime pond. The grate on the bottom will now be open. Swim through the grate opening into an area that contains various ammo and powerups.
2. In the large room with pillars, you will find a fan in the ceiling above the ramp. Shoot the fan and use a jetpack to reach the hidden items.
3. In the control room near the large bay doors, a section of the wall to your right will open to reveal some armor.
4. After the rocket has been launched, underground you'll arrive at a room with a lot of computer monitors. One monitor will open to reveal some healing atoms.
1. From the starting point as you enter the larger room, turn left and there will be an alcove with a monitor. Stand near the monitor and quickly turn-around. A small niche will open behind you. Jump into the opening to obtain some RPG ammo.
2. In the room with several monitors near the starting point, one of the monitors is a secret door opening to a small room with alien troopers and a healing atom.
3. In the room with the blue keycard, kick or shoot the vent cover and jump into the vent ducts. Jump up a couple of levels to get a pipe bomb and you will exit at the corridor.
4. To solve the puzzle of the 4 switches, turn the 3rd switch from the left, and the 2nd switch from the left to enter the door behind you. There is a portion of the floor and wall that is well lit, this is actually an elevator. Use the elevator to go to a lower area to obtain a shrinker and armor. Find the opening in the wall and follow the passageway to a lift that will take you back to the area of the 4 switches.
6. Use your jetpack to fly up the center column after the force-field is de-activated (It de-activates after you solve the switch puzzle). Near the top you will see an enforcer patrolling a small room. In that room is a healing atom and a devastator.
The area where you use the blue keycard access, there are 2 monitors, one with a picture of the Earth and one with a picture of the Moon. The monitor with the Earth's picture will open to reveal a holoduke.
The room that has the blue keycard has a panel next to the boxes where the blue keycard sits. Open the panel to reveal a pool of water (Did you get the scuba gear in this room?), swim to the bottom to find the chaingun. There is a connecting passageway that contains night vision goggles.
Misc Info. - Some people forget to turn around when starting this level. Behind you is a transporter to the green space shuttle which is docked. The transporter will take you aboard the shuttle where you will find steroids and a RPG.
1. After you pass the strobeing corridor, you will enter a room that has a yellow on/off switch. The walls have a metallic texture. As you enter the room from the corridor you will see on your left a different texture of a small door. Open the door to obtain some pipe bombs.
2. Jump into the small alcove as described above, there is another hidden door to your left. Open the door and there is another secret room containing armor and shotgun ammo.
3. When you enter the beige corridor, you will see a "Earth Defense System" emblem on the wall. Jump into the emblem to find a medkit.
4. The first dark room you come to on the other side of the beige corridor has an armory access and a computer terminal with blue sloping lights. In-between these two is a metal door that will open to a small room containing a freeze thrower and a holoduke.
5. As you go up a ramp to the second dark room, there is another metal door directly opposite where you enter from. Open it to reveal chaingun ammo and a healing atom.
In the room where secrets #1 and #2 are located, you will find another small metal door on your right just before you enter the beige corridor. Open this door to obtain night vision goggles.
In the large "Green" room where the end-level Nuke button is, there is a gun turrent. Destroy the turrent and use your jetpack to fly up to the gun turrent alcove. The rear wall panel will open to reveal some pipe bombs.
1. Enter the yellow keycard door and go up the ramp to the top level. As you enter this room to your right is a metal door with a light in the ceiling above it and a camera (Near the illuminated First Aid access). Open this door to obtain steroids. In the upper corner is a switch, shoot the switch and QUICKLY run to the other side of the room. Enter a lowered column and Scotty will beam you onto the the Starship Enterprise! (O.K. - I realize Scotty is not part of the Starship Enterprise, but it sure sounds better than "Hey ensign, beam me up").
2. Go to Piccard's quarters and operate his console, now get ready..........." REALLY Ready" for this room!

In the level one bathroom a telephone number is on the wall by the urinals. Is the number purely random and just to generate an obeisance? Nope, the number, 867-5309 is from a song. The song is called "Jenny" by Tommy Tutone. "Jenny" was a song about a guy who saw Jenny's number on a bathroom wall and kept bugging her.
There are three lines that Duke says that are references to Evil Dead 2 and Army Of Darkness. First, one of the level setting is "Come get some". Another is, sometimes when Duke picks up a weapon he says "Groovy". Finally, often he says "That's gotta hurt," when he hits an enemy with RPG. In addition to saying these lines, Duke uses a raspy voice similar to that of Evil Dead 2 and Army Of Darkness.
In level three near the end you'll see a sunken submarine. If you look close enough you'll notice the name of the sub is USS DALLAS. That is a reference to Tom Clancy's movie/book "The Hunt For Red October". The central US sub hunting for the soviet sub "Red October" was called the "USS Dallas."
Level three takes you to a prison cell. In one of the prison cells there is a poster of a girl. However, the poster is transparent and you can walk right through it. That reveals a hidden tunnel which leads out of the prison. Following the tunnel is a great deal of sewage. This is a reference to the movie/book "The Shawshank Redemption." Stephen King was the author of the book. The movie stared Tim Robbins and Morgan Freedman.
Often times through out the game you'll see a girl trapped in some slime. She says "Kill Me" which is a reference to the movie "Aliens." The voice of this character is that of Colleen Compton, one of two female employees at Apogee/3D Realms.
See the individual level listings above for
more references.
In the beginning of level one a large billboard style sign over looks the area. The sign reads "Innocent ?" which is a reference to how some people feel on the O.J. Simpson verdict.
The TV at the far end of the bar in level two shows a famous chase scene. On the TV is O.J. Simpson's white Bronco being chased by a police car.
Perhaps the most unexpected reference you'll see is the space marine. He can be found behind the cross in the level three chapel. To get there, first, shot the glass to the left of the cross. Then, activate the switch on the altar. This will cause a hidden door to open behind were the glass once was and also turn the cross upside down. When you go through the door you'll soon be attacked by an octabrain. Once you defeat the octabrain, you'll be able to continue walking down the hidden tunnel. At the end is a person caught in green slime and also with his legs cut off. Duke's reaction is "That's one DOOMED space marine." Clearly a reference to ID's DOOM, which is probably the best known 3D action game.
In level 5 there is a "Dopefish Lives" message on the bottom of the first pillar leading up to the space ship. The Dopefish a character that originally appear in the Commander Keen series. Those games were put out by Apogee and ID. A good argument can be made that Apogee and ID's claim to early fame was the Commander Keen series.
See the individual level listings above for more references.
