Tapjoy and MachineWorks NorthWest have teamed up to bring the original classic, Duke Nukem 3D, to the Android Marketplace starting "very soon."

It's all part of the Tapjoy Android Fund, an initiative started to bring "top-quality mobile games and applications" to the Android platform. Duke Nukem 3D on Android is a port of the iOS version, and will be compatible with Android phones and tablet devices running version 2.1 and up.

As the series reached its absurd heights of success, it caused more game developers to enter into the service of note charts and extreme rocker-dude 3D models.

And now that Activision has stopped production on the Guitar Hero series and closed that business unit, we can look back at how it affected the people who made it -- the companies who either moved on or were chewed up and spat out by the Guitar Hero monster.

We're not sure what the normal price would be, but with Civilization Revolution launching yesterday at $4.99, Duke's adventure from 13 years ago had better not ask for much more.

AppGamer notes that initial feedback on the title has been positive, though there's no "lite" version to test out. The game has the "thumb-stick style controls," but also comes with "slider-style controls." If you've already played this on your morning commute, be sure to share your opinion in the comments below!

That's right, everyone's favorite ass kicker and bubble gum enthusiast is making a new home on the iPhone, as IGN reports 3D Realms' superb FPS, Duke Nukem 3D, will be available on the iPhone App store soon. Ported by Machineworks Northwest, this direct PC port will feature the entire original game, so you'll be able to tip those working girls and relieve yourself in the game's many bathrooms soon enough.

After spending some time with a preview build, IGN had nothing but good things to say, especially about the improved graphics. IGN didn't knock the controls, either, and said there will be two options: tap-to-shoot and a classic scheme. There's no word on when the game will be available on the App store, but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as it is.
