Yeah, all finished now. Man, it’s really a short game!
I think I have to give the win to Duke Nukem II by a nose (I’m not sure why I’m so obsessed with comparing these two games in particular!)
The graphics may be better in HH, and I don’t really think it’s any more frustrating, but the levels in DN2 are just more varied, interesting and memorable, and that’s more important to me.
If I had to compare various similar DOS era sci-fi platform shooters that I have played (a surprisingly fruitful genre), this would be my order:
[Keen 4, 5, 6] > [Duke Nukem I] > [Keen 1, 2, 3] > [Crystal Caves] > [Duke Nukem II] > [Halloween Harry] > [Earthworm Jim] > [Jazz Jackrabbit]
That list os in no way objective by the way – nostalgia plays a lot into it!
