Duke was so far ahead of any other first person shooter game that it wasn't even funny. And how many of us in the middle of a kill fest would strut up to a stripper, hand her a 5 dollar bill and order her to dance while bullets were wizzing around your head.
Online and network play was awesome. At the time no other game had things like laser trip mines, and jet packs and three dimensions of fighting.
I remember one round of network play where I saw a shaded window, and I laid down about 50 of the remote detonated bombs, then I stood there and waited for an opponent to spot me and give chase. I ran down the hall and turned around as he jumped through the window to chase me, then when I was sure that he had a good look at me, I pushed the detonator and parts of him flew about 50 yards.
What a terrific and funny game.
I also remember before you faced the last boss, Duke growled "I'm going to rip off your head and sh$t down your neck". Then after you beat it, Duke walked up tore off its head sat down, unfolded a newspaper and started whistling as the scene faded to black.
