Folks... a question about an OpenGL port for Duke Nukem 3D (

DosFreak
It's been worked on for more than a year but it's still not done. Forgot the exact link but there it only one opengl port of Duke. Look around on google. Last time I checked you could not interact with the game itself but only travel through the game in clipping mode.
