Inquiring minds and the tabloids have been dying (and not by Duke's hands) to find out what happened to our intergalactic hero when he went for "...a little R&R." Finally, this shocking level reveals all! While Duke was trying to establish a little "beach-head," the Aliens have dropped in to break up his fun in the sun and spoil a couple of Penthouse photo shoots to boot. It's up to our man, Duke Nukem, to save the day - again. With no time to play with his favorite "Pets" or work on his tan, Duke Nukem says, "Somebody's gonna friggin' pay for screwin' up my vacation!" Will Duke save the day, the shoots, and finally get that babe, a stogie and a bottle of Jack? It's up to you to find out! Tips we can tell you: -Tons of Penthouse Pets -"On location" Penthouse photo shoots -Duke's own hotel room -Duke's "other" hotel room -Duke's fondness for industrial dance tunes Additional credits to: 3D Realms Inc., Duke's mother, and all of the babes down at the Beach Blanket Bongo Bar & Grill. Special thanks to: Tyler Matthews (ty@synet.net) who worked night and day to get this baby completed and he didn't get fired from his job while dealing with Mark & Jeff's constant knit-picking which probably drove him insane! Way to go, Ty! At least you didn't go "postal." Additional thanks to Paul Jury (artworks@epix.net) for assisting with artistic resources. ================================================================================ * Play Information * Episode: Penthouse Paradise Duke Nukem 3D compatible: Yes Atomic/PPak compatible: Yes Single Player: Yes DukeMatch Level: Yes Co-op Level: Yes Difficulty Settings: Yes OTHER Notes: There is new art with all of the Penthouse Pets (Tiles014.art). IF YOU HAVE COPIES OF THESE FILES IN YOUR duke3d DIR, MAKE A BACKUP. Getting Started: Run the PENTHOUS.BAT file from your Duke3D Directory. The PENTHOUS.BAT file runs a little program called CHECKVER.EXE, which returns an errorlevel of 1 if the Duke version is Atomic/PPak. Based on this, it'll launch either the Atomic/PPak or 1.3 versions of the .CONs, etc. After the initial check is done, it then prompts you to select Single Player or Multiplayer (Co-op/DukeMatch.) If you choose Single player, it kicks off the special game.con, and no files are changed. Single Player: After you have selected the 1-player game, you must go through the usual Duke Nukem options menu. Select "new" and then choose the difficulty level. If you are running the original Duke Nukem 3D game, you must select "L.A. Meltdown" and the "Penthouse Paradise" level will load. If you are running the Atomic/PPak version, "Penthouse Paradise" will load automatically within the "Episode" menu. Multi Player: If you select Multiplayer, it will ask you if they'd like for the batch file to rename the original .CON files as backup. If you select "yes", it renames GAME.CON, USER.CON, and DEFS.CON to *.PEN. It then copies over the Penthouse variety, and runs SETUP.EXE for them. Once you are finished with the game, the batch file then returns the originals. If you choose not to have the batch file rename these files, it simply tells you that the special sounds and code for Multiplayer support will not be available until you rename your original .CON files. In the Setup Menu, select Network Game. In the Network Menu, select the number of players, and choose "penthous.map" from the user map menu. Once you have made your selections, click on "Launch Duke Nukem 3d", then sit back and enjoy the ride. Final Note: Have some fun in the sun, and thank you for choosing Penthouse Paradise Resorts, the number one place for "...a little R & R."
