Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Nokia N900 95
andylim writes "It looks as if Duke Nukem isn't completely 'nuked' after all. Someone has ported the 90s classic on to a Nokia N900. As you'll see in the video, you control Duke using the Qwerty keypad and shoot using the touchscreen. I'm wondering how long it will take for this to get on other mobile platforms."
In other Duke news, reader Jupix points out that 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller recently said, "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production."

Been a bucketload of fail, and a waste of terabytes of useless "news" stories posted on the internet.
Can we just call this one, guys? Time of death: 2005 (and that's being GENEROUS ).

It has been ported to Windows CE (aka Windows Mobile) for years now. And some quick googling revealed that a previous Symbian port is readily available on the 'nets and has been for several years now (http://duke-nukem-3d.en.softonic.com/symbian), along with Palm and Blackberry counterparts. The game has also made its way to just about every games console since the PS1. I fail to see why this article is in any way news.

We're celebrating a classic making a move to modern tech. That's all. Enjoy the simplicity of it, for that's the only intent.

The iPhone runs a heavily modified version of Darwin/OS X.
The N900, Palm Pre, and Android phones are the most well-known, but there are many others [linuxfordevices.com].

The key is having the humor that the last DN3D had, but updated for modern times. The "GUILTY?" signs, the white Bronco chase scene, and 867-5309 in the restroom were all touches that set that game apart from the scads of FPS games that followed.
