Duke Nukem defends Earth from alien invaders across nine levels based on the Lunar Apocalypse episode. Players use weapons like the Shrink Ray and Pipe Bombs to fight through a first-person shooter experience. This specific Tec Toy port for the Mega Drive features increased difficulty and a reduced framerate compared to the original PC release.
