Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition - Derelict Part One [All Secrets Found]

Episode: The Birth
Level: Derelict
Secrets in this part: Three
Secrets: Five
Difficulty: Come Get Some

Gee whiz! This is a MAHOOSIVE level! You thought Dark Side was a long level; this one trumps it in terms of size and scale. I could reign superlatives down on this all day and they would still fall short of how great this level really is. The exterior and interior of this ship are so vast that it must've taken the level designer a good while to have it all completed. That coming from someone who has no idea what goes on behind the scenes in terms of being a game and/or level designer.

From your starting position, and from where I played 'piggy-in-the-middle' with the Pig Cops, is one part that went on a lot longer than I envisaged. Chasing RPV's, avoiding Shotgun fire and steering clear of lightning bolts is something I hadn't planned ahead for nor did I enjoy draining my own Shotgun ammo because of it. Although, it is the last time you see the Pig Cops in the game so I guess their valiant struggle had its share of poignancy too.

I'll tell you, even though the crew of this ship are long gone (and for that matter, probably dead as well), the aliens sure did go out their way to deploy as many Protector Drones on this ship as possible. Yeah, I know their job is to protect the Queen, which the killing of is Duke's ultimate goal, but it's overkill on this boat.

You got to remember, this is just the first part. There's plenty more where they came from. At least this level gives me an excuse to go Pipebomb crazy on them all!

Damn, one LOOOONG level + one CREEEEEPY soundtrack (Floghorn is the title) + Protector Drone overkill make 3 insults to injury in this game.

Holy crap, this is...scary. D:

[MoGaDeX]

This level was scary when I first played it. Mostly because of the Protector Drone overkill.... Did I mention I was afraid of those bastards? Stupid anorexic fast jumpy green blooded fucks...

[Votapardo]

So many Quake and Duke levels, and I still can't see in the dark :-/

[terminegger]

You put the "Freezethrower fail" annotation in a freezethrower projectile-coloured box?

Now that's what you call class.

Brings it all back to memory. I remember wandering around and getting completely lost on the ship. LOL! Good level though.
