Where did Duke go?

The Duke Nukem license was acquired by Gearbox Software. When this happened, Gearbox removed all Duke related games including:

Duke Nukem 1
Duke Nukem 2
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
Duke 3d (3D Realms Pack Edition)
Duke Nukem 3d: Megaton Edition
Balls of Steel

As of now, all of these games remain gone from Steam and GOG.com. In thier place we got "Duke Nkem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour".

Balls of Steel has been re-released in January 2024 by Atari but without the Duke Nukem table, but includes Devil's Island Pinball and two new pinball tables - Centipede and Missile Command - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2050260/Balls_of_Steel/
