Dave Gnukem is a retro-style 2D scrolling platform shooter. It is inspired by and similar to Duke Nukem 1, a famous 1991 classic. It currently runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, OpenPandora, MorphOS, OpenBSD, ClockworkPi GameShell and more. It's not a clone or remake; it's more like a parody, just not very funny. Source code available.

Storyline:

The year is $CURRENTYEAR+8. An evil genius, Dr Proetton, is infecting the world's computers with a virus called SystemD, crippling them. Only you can stop him. You must find the floppy disk with the Devuan Antivirus on it, and install it on the master computer, which is hidden in Vault7.

Any resemblance to actual persons or entities is purely coincidental.

TL;DR Shoot anything that moves.
