It's not an actual MIDI like the rest of the soundtrack. It's a sound effect called bonus.voc. You can find it near the bottom here: www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/Duke_Nukem_3D_(DOS)
@@ThisIsGamerLisD From that wiki you linked: "The music of Duke Nukem 3D was put together by Bobby Prince, a veteran in the video game field, and the amazing composer, Lee Jackson. The soundtrack fits well into the various levels of the game adding to the ambiance. By itself however, the soundtrack is merely average. None of the tracks are really that memorable, but they do properly fit the game. " What the fuck?
I just realized some similarity between this game and Doom's soundtracks. They both contain strong, fast and energetic intro and first level music, while most of other levels contain slow paced, atmospheric, creepy and moody kind of music.
"Hollywood Hollocaust" its probably the "best first level" ever made on a videogame (together with Super Mario Bros 1-1 level?). The desing, location, music and ambience is superb 😌 That level will stay on your head for a long time... unforgettable.
+Ladislav Loukota no they weren't "exclusively" i said, this because many DEV back then was still in the era of "discovery" so there was much "trying" and not only focus on the money search for how they created Broodwar for example, if you're seriously interested
" I never knew that every single level in the game had it's own music track," one of the many reasons why this game is awesome,and was so diverse compared to the other fps of its day.
The same could be said about many oldschool FPS' of the day. Today however.. Just grey clots of generic soldier guys shooting generic terrorists. The imagination, the creativity - is gone.
Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and their clones also had tracks which were mostly unique, although the later levels often reused tracks from the earlier levels . Conversely, Duke Nukem 3D seems to truly have a track for every level.
One of my favourite moments is in the E2L8 level with the Plasma 1:03:10 track. When you go outside on the big field with the big satellite antenna. The calmness of that track hits hard with the atmosphere of the outside of the moon and the "dead nature" that 2d sprites bring to that landscape (also mildly creepy side effect that the sprites always faces you since they have no 3rd dimension). No 3D game can replicate that effect; 2d is effectively art that the human mind can play with.
I also love sometimes when sprites always faces you when you move. There's still 2D sprites in 3D games that faces you no matter where you go, but they are harder to notice than before and less numerous.
Dark Side was a great level from the music but really wished it was longer-yes I’d love to see a few levels get supersized. Also the following level Overlord is so meh.
@@farmervillager1376 The thing is, game devs would reuse tracks for different levels quite a lot. For example, in Wolfenstein 3D, there are 6 episodes, but there are only three different sets of tracks. That means that episodes 1 and 4 use the same tracks, instead of episode 4 having unique music. (Same goes for episodes 2/5 and 3/6.) To add insult to injury, even a single episode isn't spared from track reuse in Wolf3D. An episode has 10 levels, 4 of which have repeating tracks: Level 5 always plays the same track as level 1, level 6 repeats level 2's track, all the way up to level 8, that reuses level 4's track. In this context, the fact that Duke 3D has a lot of unique tracks, is quite a big deal.
That was on a time when developers did truly care for the quality and soul of the video game. They really deserve more recognition. Damn at least to be on Spotify or most of the music library that there are for music in general it's just music at another level...
E1L1 Stalker is literally in my opinion one of the best songs ever written in a video game. If the combination of running around shooting things and this song didn't get you into a first person shooter type game, then nothing ever was!
Man that kind of mentality it's what made the games back in the day being so timeless. Things were at it's peak. You can see good games now days but most of them lack something in some department or another
I'm 15, and I prefer games like Duke 3D, Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein and even games from Atari/Commodore 64 like Boulder Dash. Modern games are good, but I like playing oldschool games.
I forgot how creepy the music was on ep. 2. The assault commanders always scared me the most when I was younger. Hearing them shouting and knowing that I was walking into a barrage of rockets when I stepped around the corner.
@@issiahfuentes9226 what is funny that he composed music for the DOOM and Duke Nukem II (which was create in kindly same way - ripped from metal hits) and Duke was released 3rd December 1993, than 10th December 1993 was DOOM day :D

Due to the limits of the hardware, game musicians of old had this unlikely freedom of being able to concentrate more on composition than sound engineering. Just smashing out bad ass melodies and riffs without worrying too much about how "steel guitar" would sound across different sound cards. And if you listen to this now and are honest with yourself, you realise the instruments sound like shit ... but we don't care, because we accept that as a technical limitation. So instead we listen to the composition ... and composition is where all the effort went ... and thus some of these tunes are fucking brilliant.
@@Beansman-gp3ws You don't understand his point. The "instrument sounds" (not PCM , they were generated on the chip with sine,triangle, sawtooth) were different on different sound cards at the time. For another guy they sounded like shit but it still had to work somehow. As composer you can not reliably tell how the sound is going to play on the users soundcard. Only thing you could reliably do is the sequence of midi notes, so you invest the most effort there
1:19:16 - E3L2, "Going After the Fat Commander", sounds almost exactly like "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode, once it gets past the introductory portion, with the drum solo.
I see why 'Aliens say your prayers!' is your favourite track, it has that Bobby Prince signature style while sounding like b movie's soundtrack while mixing in a distinctive 90s synth, its just badass

A very informative and well put together video friend. Best iv seen on youtube. I love how youve placed an image of the level, the name of the level and the tracks name. Love it. This is a labour of love. Thank you
"Aliens, Say Your Prayers" has a motive that reminds me of the track for the Vigilance Platform mission in Crusader: No Remorse. Nice soundtrack, astonishingly well recorded, and I'd say it's way better than Doom 2.
Thanks for sharing this. Was working on a Duke video and couldn't process the Midis with my particular software. But yes, Aliens was definitely my favorite track playing this game as well ;)
doom and duke nukem 3d easily have some of the best osts of any game ever made, they still hold up amazingly to this day seeing as the soundfonts sound great unlike other older games
Duke Nukem was the best of its time. The soundtrack is so classic as Duke phases. "Your face, your ass. What's the difference?" "Come get some" "Shake it baby!" "Shit happens" "Ahhhhh much better"
Is it crazy that I still have all the original midi files from this game on my computer? People give Doom a lot of credit, but this game pushed the 2.5D game engine to its limits and was pretty damn amazing.
The first FPS game I owned on PC (at age 5) in 1997 - however I was playing DOOM on my fathers PC from age 4 :) haha my dad is awesome introducing me to such classics early on! So much nostalgia

It's a shame Ah, Geez! (33:56) only ever appeared on a level that's almost impossible to stumble upon. Proper banger. Glad to hear the actual version here; a different version is usually heard in videos. Thanks for the upload
This recording is fantastic thank you! One of the best games ever made IMO. Sadly, the IP took a crap. Maybe we can bring back this great IP to what it once was, a top-notch retro-shooter.
"Ready for action.." "Damn.. Im looking good." "Your face, your ass.. Whats the difference?" "Aahhh.. Much better.." "Hmmm. Thats one doomed space marine.." "Blow it out your ass!" "Damn im good.." "GROOVY..." "ill rip your head off and shit down your neck.." There is something in this game that has always made me come back for more. Many times in the passed ten years i have suddenly got inspired to play. I have seen it all thousand times and yet its all new. Maybe when i grow old im going to show this game to my grand children who are playing their virtual reality stuff. Actually running in some kinda battlefield, waging war with their friends. That kinda gaming has always been my dream but when that kinda technology becomes cheap and common for normal consumers im already too old If not dead. But its ok because if i had born into that kinda environment then i wouldnt know how to truly appreciate it like i would right now.
Pro tip: try saving the game while you're falling down a pit and don't have a jet pack. It makes replaying all the previous levels THAT much more fun. 10 year old me learned that the hard way.
Hail to the king baby! =) I really miss the good Ol´ days when Duke Nukem didn't suck balls. Thankfully enough though, there´s a huge mod community for Duke Nukem 3D. And that has given Duke 3D a much needed facelift. One could say that Duke 3D has been reborn thanks to the fans love for the game.
Always loved how each level had it's own distinctive track. A lot of music in games nowadays is just so generic. These themes are memorable enough for you to immediately link it to the level in question. If you've played the game chances are you know the level the track features in without even reading it on the screen :)
I haven't listened to this main theme in probably well over a decade now. Maybe longer. And yet, I still remember it perfectly and would regularly starting humming it for no reason over the years. Same with music from the original Command & Conquer _(Mechanical Man)_ and Age of Empires 2 _(Shamburger)._ Music that sticks with you like that after all those years means it's pretty fuckin special.
I've been jumping between Duke Nukem videos today, contemplating, video game movies suck. But, why not *make a video game a movie*? Like, in the literal sense? If the team who developed the game are the lead producers, & the traditional "movie director" was an adviser, it COULD work! Besides, who know what's best for their game, than the ones who developed it?
Please, what's the name of the music when you have finished a level ? can't find anywhere >

Maybe when i grow old im going to show this game to my grand children who are playing their virtual reality stuff. Actually running in some kinda battlefield, waging war with their friends. That kinda gaming has always been my dream but when that kinda technology becomes cheap and common for normal consumers im already too old If not dead. But its ok because if i had born into that kinda environment then i wouldnt know how to truly appreciate it like i would right now.
Forgot "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but I'm all out of gum." and "Rip'em a new one!"
+B Rad this stuff is from the movie... i forget wich one but from the movie and they took it to the game
Aahh the 90's, when more effort was put into music, the track for each level seemed to fit well and each track was appropriately named.
"Unreal" has good tracks too, on every level.
Made me discover the best video game hero ever and Megadeth in the early 90's. Souvenir, souvenir.
So we're not gonna acknowledge how badass Pissed! is? My favorite track on the game.
the music for dark side level is some of the best ambient music you will ever hear.
Pro tip: try saving the game while you're falling down a pit and don't have a jet pack. It makes replaying all the previous levels THAT much more fun.
10 year old me learned that the hard way.
Hail to the king baby! =) I really miss the good Ol´ days when Duke Nukem didn't suck balls. Thankfully enough though, there´s a huge mod community for Duke Nukem 3D. And that has given Duke 3D a much needed facelift.
One could say that Duke 3D has been reborn thanks to the fans love for the game.
A lot of people could say that
This reminds me of the beautiful days in 1998 when I was a child. Amazing
My top five:
1. Stalker
2. Departure
3. Water World
4. Restricted Area
5. Pissed Office Box
@2:05:19 heavilny inspired by Terminator theme song.
Other way around.
Terminator released in 1984.
Terminator 2 released in 1991.
Duke Nukem 3D released in 1996.
+Vladimir Gregor It's fitting since this level has the reference to the Terminator where Duke quips "Terminated" :D
Everyone who says Bobby Prince just copied popular rock/metal music needs to give this a listen - these are some peak ambient themes
HHHHUUUUUUAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH!
SHAKE IT BABY! (spacebar spacebar spacebar)
I love it. Bring back level-by-level music.
Such a catchy soundtrack, don't make them like this anymore
Fuck yes! Duke Nukem, the most non-politically correct hero of all time!
LET'S ROCK
Truly the best era of gaming. Everything now is wash and repeat.
this game DOS verison have best experence,sounds and music better than all other verison ,and grapgics more dark, i like it.
The nostalgia is real!
ugh the E1M2 soundtrack is used for every custom map so i have heard it about a billion times
Wow nice job with the recording of this, all that fancy editing with the levels in it, damn. you did a lot of work.
I loved this game as a kid! So nostalgic man
IT'S DOWN TO YOU AND ME, YOU ONE EYED FREAK!
Maaaan it's been so long. Hail to the king baby! Let's not forget - shake it baby!
Always loved how each level had it's own distinctive track. A lot of music in games nowadays is just so generic. These themes are memorable enough for you to immediately link it to the level in question. If you've played the game chances are you know the level the track features in without even reading it on the screen :)
*BTW I recognise some of these images. A few of them were screenshots taken by myself for the Duke Nukem Wikia. Nice to see them here :D
Sure thing.
I haven't listened to this main theme in probably well over a decade now. Maybe longer. And yet, I still remember it perfectly and would regularly starting humming it for no reason over the years. Same with music from the original Command & Conquer _(Mechanical Man)_ and Age of Empires 2 _(Shamburger)._
Music that sticks with you like that after all those years means it's pretty fuckin special.
This brings me back to when i was kid
used to like aliens say your prayer bgm... best soundtrack in DN3D. Always listening it when i was young.
Darkside could've passed as a random room in Resident Evil lol
And Ending Song 2:48:22
epic moments let´s rock
Hail to the king baby! Duke Nukem my favorite person shooter character of all time.
1:41:33 - E3L6 - Gotham, fucking rules!!!!!!!!
BEST GAME EVER!
Speed it up and put a jungle amen beat, and this shit would go DOWN!
Thank You for this Masterpiece
Damn, I'm Good!
I've been jumping between Duke Nukem videos today, contemplating, video game movies suck. But, why not *make a video game a movie*? Like, in the literal sense? If the team who developed the game are the lead producers, & the traditional "movie director" was an adviser, it COULD work! Besides, who know what's best for their game, than the ones who developed it?
I love this soundtrack! Did anyone else notice the subtle similarities between the beginnings of "The Call of Death" and "Spook?"
