==============================
0. WHAT THIS FAQ IS AND ISN'T:
==============================
It is a specific guide to help you find all the secrets and Quest Items
in the game. It isn't a complete walkthrough of every level simply
because they are not that difficult. In fact, the last level with the big
boss is the easiest level of the entire game. It is a guide to help you
avoid some bugs, and gameplay issues. It isn't a list of cheat codes.
===========
1. MY RANT:
===========
There are, in my opinion, two reasons to really like this game: One, it's
not Tomb Raider. Now, I love Tomb Raider, but enough is enough already.
Two, each level takes about 30mins or less to complete. As far as Land of
the Babes is concerned, I'd rather have another 14 levels to play than
these levels being any longer. Somehow they seem just right, not too
short nor too long.
The general consensus is that this game is horrible and is worth a rental
at best. While the replay value is low -unless you're looking for all the
secrets- it's a blast while it's lasts. Personally, I've never replayed
any Tomb Raider game once I'm through, but for some inexplicable reason I
love going back and replaying some Land of the Babes levels. Heck, out of
all the games I've played this is only the third game that's inspired me
to write a FAQ for it.
Think of Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes, as a smaller, testosterone-filled
Tomb Raider Lite. Duke has a lot of the same moves, weapons and features
as Lara yet several that Lara could only dream of.
Finally this FAQ is basically complete! I made it a tad easier to read
since some of the secrets take a lot of text to describe and added in a
few Babe counts and Cheats Unlocked. Now I just need a few little things
to wrap this FAQ up!
=========
2. NOTES:
=========
When I say that you find ubiquitous "ammo" in a secret area it's because
it seems to change depending on what weapon you use the most. Example; if
you use the Freezer more than any other weapon you'll tend to find more
Freezer ammo. So, I'll just say ammo, to avoid confusion. The same thing
applies to crates. (and what's a good game without a few hundred crates
lying around, eh?)
Also, the secrets are not necessarily in the order you'll find them.
People run all over games like this in different ways so you may or may
not find the secrets in this order when you play.

"The Future isn't so Bright"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- Behind a HUGE fan in a room with a control room with a gorilla in it,
and a water gap across from the fan. Shoot out the metal vent behind the
fan and climb up. (It's a bit of a hassle to get behind the fan at first.
You may want to spin it up then turn it off to get it in a better
position first.)
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- The door to the right as you enter fan room. Hit the button labeled
"Elevator Override". Duke will say, "Hmmmm..." This opens the left
elevator's doors, of the pair of elevators, back near the beginning of
the level. Enter the left elevator for the secret.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- After you open the top of, and swim through the water tank, you'll be
in another section of this level and at a Reentry Point. In one of the
many rooms beyond this bathroom, you'll find a large gray window, with
two flaming barrels in front of it, opposite a desk. Shoot the barrels to
blow them and the window up. Climb inside for the secret.

LEVEL 3

"Big Guns"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- Shoot away a large bright boulder (brighter then the others next to it)
at the far opposite end and to the right of where you start out in the
level. Jump down into the hole. The boulder is behind a tall building.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- In Secret #1 room, shoot out a part of the floor and hop down. Then
shoot out the door and hop across the pit. Turn right and you'll see a
white floor with a door on it and a door on the wall up and to your
right. DO NOT shoot the floor! It's a lava pit trap. Instead, shoot out
the door on the wall and walk over to it hop up and climb through. Hop
down then hop across the pit to get the Quest Item which hovers above the
pit. The door behind the Quest Item is a fake.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- In Secret #2 room, where you find the Quest Item, drop down into that
pit, seriously! Gravity is lowered here so you'll take little or no
damage when you hit the bottom. At the bottom of the pit jump up and
climb into an opening in the wall that's a little hard to see. Find ammo,
then make your way up and out of this area by climbing the ladders and
jump climbing. You'll emerge in Secret #2 room near where you found the
Quest Item. It's best to jump down to the left. (It took me FOREVER to
find this secret!)
---------
SECRET #4
---------
- Shoot out the ground in front and to the right a little of the Gun
Turret. It's behind some building ruins. Hop down.
---------
SECRET #5
---------
- Shoot out a spot on the ground very near (opposite the bomb) the tower
that gets blown up.

LEVEL 4
#######
"Getting Wet"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- In the area where you destroy the GunSub, high up on the far wall on
the right side, is a brighter than normal square. Shoot it out and swim
through and up and then climb up. Eyeball all the goodies. You can't get
to them from here, not even with a JetPack. To get to them, swim back out
into the GunSub room you came from, and look to your right at an opening
in the wall opposite the large crack to your left. Swim into the opening
on the right until you can climb out and walk around. Climb up onto the
first ledge, make your way around, then climb up onto the second. To your
left the wall has a texture of windows on it, find the second window from
the right, second up from the bottom, shoot it out and climb through and
you'll be in the room with the goodies from a vantage point where you can
get to them. If you can't locate the right spot, just get way back and
blast the wall with the RPG.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- This one is VERY hard to see. In the same room where you shoot out the
window to access Secret #1, on that second ledge, walk over to where you
are about to jump up and out of the room from the higher, normal exit.
Not the same way you came in or the way to access the first secret. This
opening is opposite the window you shot out to access Secret #1. Now,
turn to your right and face the large brick wall. If you shoot straight
you should hit the second secret and shoot out a section of bricks. It
may help to just stand back and shoot the brick wall a few times with the
RPG to find it. Hop across for lots of goodies.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- In the area where the crashed ship is, where you rescue the trapped
Babe inside, swim back around and down to where you normally exit this
level. Behind you, just after you swim down through the opening in the
floor, that's to the right of the crashed ship, you'll see three planks
of wood blocking a passage. To the left of that you'll see a room with a
goody and a brightly lit section of floor. Shoot out the floor and swim
down. You may need goggles to find your way as it's pretty dark here.
----------
QUEST ITEM

- In Secret #3 room.

LEVEL 5
#######
"Trapped"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- To the right of the switch that lowers the water in this area, on a
lowered part of the ceiling is an opening. Swim up here for secret #1.
This area is only accessible when the area is filled with water, or you
have a Jetpack.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- In the room behind the laundry room (the laundry room is the room with
the switch that shuts off "those annoying currents") Shoot out the vent
in the wall that is above a crate. Climb up and in.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- In the room directly across from boiler, turn left, then do a running
jump across the pit and grab onto the tiny ledge. (You can Jetpack or
swim down to the bottom of the pit for an Ego boost) Shimmy to the right
until you stop and drop down. Climb up and into this area. Kill the
baddies that appear, and opposite the valve here, you'll see three
stacked boxes. Get on the side of the boxes opposite the pit, and pull
them until they stop. Drop down into the hole.
Now, drop down again to the area with sconces on the walls. To your left
is a fake wall, and to your right is a path that leads around a corner.
They both lead to the same place. The path to the right leads to an
invisible fake door that enters the next room you have to deal with,
while the path to the left, through the fake wall, is the end of a trap
that you're supposed to fall for when leaving the next room. It's
slightly easier to take the path to the right.
The path to the left, through the fake wall, is an area with a bridge
over a pit of spikes and severely lowered gravity. The trap here is that
once you are leaving the next room, you'd see the bridge over the pit of
spikes, think it'll collapse so you'd jump to avoid it, the lowered
gravity takes you way too far and impales you on a wall of spikes hidden
behind a fake section of rock on the wall directly after the bridge.
The path to the right uneventfully leads to the room with the Quest Item.
Enter this room and kill the baddies. Turn around and you'll notice that
there's a door behind you when you never used a door to get in here.
Again this is a little trap. Check the wall to the left of the "door" and
you'll find the fake wall that takes you back to the path area. Clever eh?
Now, go over to the Quest Item. See the stone slab that it's rotating
over? Grab one end of this stone slab and pull it until it stops. I think
it only works from one end. Then you'll see an opening in the floor. Jump
over this opening and grab the Quest Item. You'll see a cut-scene of a
spiked ceiling slowly descending upon you. (Grabbing the Quest Item
triggers the spiked ceiling) Now you see how the two exits to this room
are also traps. On the left you have the fake door that would eat up time
as you shot at it trying to get out. On the other side is a real door
that you can shoot out and then get killed by the lowered gravity bridge
spike trap should you fall for it.
Although the spiked ceiling will reset itself given enough time, it's
just easier to drop down into the new opening in the floor and avoid it
altogether.
---------
SECRET #4
---------
- The opening in the floor revealed once you pull the stone slab that the
Quest Item was over, aside. This is another series of traps. (Why aren't
the rest of the secret areas in the game as cool as these?) Read the
wall. "The Penitent Man shall pass. The Name of Duke. Leap of Faith."
These are clues to getting past the three traps ahead.
Trap number one, "The Penitent Man Shall Pass", is very tricky if you
don't know the secret. See, Duke's not exactly penitent, so he can't
kneel or just run straight through this trap. Ahead of you you'll see a
hallway with two slightly lower trenches on each side. If you ran down
this hallway in the center you'll be killed by two spinning saw blades
that chase you and cannot easily be avoided. There are invisible walls
nearly the entire way along this hall preventing you from jumping to the
side to avoid the blades. So, simply step into the hall (the blades
aren't triggered until nearly the end of the hall) and turn to the right
or left and step down into one of the lower side trenches. Then simply
walk forward, behind the invisible walls. At the end of this hall, step
up and enter the next room.
Trap number two is "The name of Duke". See the letters on the floor? Jump
on the ones, in this order, that spell N-U-K-E-M. Step on N, walk to U,
then do a running jump to K, then a standing jump (from the edge of the
square) to E then another standing jump to M. Simple.
Trap number three is even easier. It's the "Leap of Faith". Just do a
running jump and grab across the deep pit to grab onto the edge of an
invisible ledge. Climb up and get the Super Shotgun. If you are playing
through this and already have this weapon and it's at full ammo, then
shoot off a round or two to "take" this one and you'll be beamed back to
the beginning of all this mess and can finish up the level.

"Underwater Streets"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- From the manhole you enter the level through, swim to the only smashed
car you can see. Then turn left into an alley immediately to the car's
left. In this alley you'll see a mailbox and a fire hydrant with bubbles
emanating from it. Almost directly above the mailbox is an opening in the
building. Swim into the opening.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- Enter the Police Station, go through the rear doors and turn right.
Follow this hall until you reach the jail cells. Swim through the main
doors here and all the way into the back and ever the jail cell on the
left. From this cell you'll be able to swim directly into the jail cell
next to it, the one with the mattresses against the cell's doors, and
find Secret #2.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- After blowing open the exit beneath the fountain, swim down into the
opening and at the bottom of this area, directly opposite the way you
need to go, is a small vent in the wall. Shoot it out and enter.

"What's that Smell"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- From the entry point turn right and follow the path until you reach a
room. Just before entering this room there will be a ladder on the right.
Descend the ladder and WADE, DO NOT swim underwater, past three pillars
until you see a large vent in the wall ahead of you. Shoot out the vent
and quickly swim down and into it and surface. The water in this level is
toxic unless you wade above it, or wear a Biomask while under it.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- From the entry point, go straight (this area is toxic, make sure you
have enough Biomask to last) and then take the path on the far right.
Enter the double doors, (this area is not toxic so take off your Biomask
to save it) and drop down to the floor of this area. It doesn't matter if
you have lowered the water in this area or not. If you haven't lowered
the water here, swim to the floor. If you have, jump across to the second
platform and climb down the ladder. Then, directly beneath the first
platform, the one you were on after walking through the double doors, is
the secret. Shoot out the wall and enter, then turn to the right to find
the Quest Item.

LEVEL 8

"Silverback's Stronghold"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- After the area where you find the Quest Item you'll enter a large room
with two control panels on a slightly raised platform. Kill all the
baddies, then hit the control panel on your left. This turns off the
lasers to the room on your left. Enter this room which contains a large
torture machine with a bloody chair. Kill the baddie on the platform
above and behind you then climb up there via the ladder. You'll claim the
"Blue Key Cube" here. Now, face the torture machine and shoot both of
it's "arms" that are connected to the ceiling leading down to the bloody
chair until they both explode. You'll now see an opening in the ceiling.
Hop down from the platform you're on, and stand by the side of the bloody
chair and climb up on top of the machine. Hop up and grab the ladder here
and climb up for the secret area. (A switch in the main room just outside
this one turns off the laser grid protecting this ladder I think.)
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- From this level's original entry point, where Duke says, "That's one
way to get blown," turn left and head down this hall until you reach a
door guarded by lasers. Inside this room is Secret #2. To gain access to
this room you'll need to find the second lava pit area on this level.
This second lava pit area is not the one beneath the window with two Han
Solo in Carbonite Babes behind it.
This second lava pit area has a ladder on it's far side that's guarded by
a moving laser which, if you time correctly, you can avoid while climbing
the ladder. Get to the bottom of this area either by jumping across and
down, or by shooting out the vent near the bottom, entering it, and
climbing up the ladder, grabbing the goodies and then making your way
down and exiting this lava pit room by the only exit at the bottom. Enter
the next multi-level area and make your way to the top and through a
short hall, you'll find yourself in the room with Secret #2. In front of
you will be a long rock formation to the left of a large cube with a
boulder atop it. Shoot away the boulder, climb up and enter the secret
area.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- After going into the room directly opposite this level's original entry
point (which will not have lasers anymore) shoot out the floor, hop down,
then slide down the incline. Run forwards a short distance until you see
two ladders. Climb the one on the right and look for a large vent above
you in the ceiling. Shoot out this vent and climb up for the secret area.
----------
QUEST ITEM
----------
- Oddly, this isn't a secret area. After jumping over the first lava pit
and grabbing onto the small ledge (you have to shoot away the series of
vents across from you and underneath the Han Solo in Carbonite Babes
behind the window) and shimmying left, you'll climb up and then climb a
ladder. You'll now be in the area with the Han Solo in Carbonite Babes.
Continue on until you reach a dead end, then shoot out the floor and make
your way to the bottom of this area. You'll see the Quest Item in the
middle of the floor.

"Babes in Distress"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- In the room (opposite the room with the three pipes and the valve you
turn) that fills with water that has the "Han Solo in Carbonite Babes"
that float, swim into it, then almost immediately swim to the left
against the wall. Look for a small area of rock texture underwater, with
see-thru cracks. It's hard to spot at first. Shoot this out and swim in
and step out of the water. You'll find Ego, ammo and a very dead Lara
Croft! (This secret took me the longest out of them all to find!)
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- From the landslide where Duke says, "Hmmm, that's a pretty big
landslide", as you face the landslide take the left passage. You'll come
to an area made of cement with two rooms. Enter the room on the left and
on the left wall you'll see a large bookcase. Shoot it out and drop down
into the water for this secret and the Quest Item. Shoot out the cracked
wall to leave this area.

"Hunter Killer Factory"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- Right at the beginning of this level walk to the edge of the surface
you're on. The edge stops just before and above a small pit of lava. Look
to your left above a pipe and you'll see a large vent in the wall. Shoot
it out and enter for this secret.
NOTE: I was never ever able to jump or climb over there no matter what I
tried. I had to use the JetPack to get up on top of the pipe directly
beneath the secret area.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- After you blow up the pipe and duke says, "Nothing like relieving a
little pressure." enter the now busted pipe and make your way to the end
and up and out via the ladder. Hop down to the floor, and head towards
the rear of this area (don't use that ladder just yet) and kill all the
baddies here. On your right, in a dimly lit section is a cracked wall.
Shoot it out and climb up for the secret area.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- You may need goggles for this secret. After you teleport to a new
section of this level hop down and kill the two baddies then climb up
into the large air duct which is the only way out of this area. Go
forwards and follow the passage as it gently curves to the left. Now,
continue on past the first right you see and continue on until you come
to the second right. Take this right turn and you'll see a large vent.
Shoot it out, and the large vent behind it, then drop into the small pit
of water for the secret; a pair of much needed goggles.
----------
QUEST ITEM
----------
- All the way across, directly opposite Secret #3 is a very dark dead-end
with a large non-shootable vent on the wall. The Quest Item is just
sitting there right in front of the vent.
NOTE: In this area there seems to be a baddie (one of those small
facehugger types) that is invisible and invincible sometimes. On occasion
I returned here, found him again and was able to kill him. I'm not sure
if this is a bug or intended to be some sort of trap.

"Space Port"
---------

---------
- When you reach the area with a passage (the passage leads to the
"Motherbrain" boss room) that's blocked by two electricity gates take the
passage to the right. Enter this room, kill the baddies that appear and
climb up the ladder. Proceed until you reach the room with water at it's
bottom. Jump down into the water and on your right you'll see a metal
tube jutting out from the wall with a small vent covering it's end. Shoot
out this small vent, then shoot out the second vent inside. Swim inside
for the secret and the Quest Item.
---------

- To the left of where you acquire a space suit is a crate. Shoot the
crate to blow it up and enter the opening that was hidden behind it for

- I'm not sure if this is one but near the beginning of this level in the
area adjacent to the Doc Salvage area on the right is an electromagnet.
You can jump while beneath it and you'll stick to it as if your fists are
magnetic. If you stay there too long the electromagnet will break off and
crumble away. Maybe there's just something here I'm missing.

"Promenade"
---------
SECRET #1
---------
- From the level's starting point turn left. On wall in front of you will
be what looks like a window A/C unit jutting out from the wall. It looks
like a cube with vents on all sides. Shoot it away and climb up for
Secret #1.
---------
SECRET #2
---------
- In Secret #1 room, there is another A/C unit on the wall. Shoot it away
and climb up. Walk into next area and turn to your right. Two jumps away
is another A/C unit. Shoot it away then jump across to the opening that
was hidden behind it and enter for Secret #2.
---------
SECRET #3
---------
- The remaining secrets are a bit tricky to locate. From the "Air Lock"
control panel where, if you turn it on while the baddies are in the air
lock they will all explode, go through the air lock and halfway through
it will be a hallway on your right. Take this hallway into the second air
lock and turn left. Go straight, PAST a right a turn, until you see a
teleporter on the floor. Use the teleporter. Now, follow this upper level
path until it dead ends. To your left is a gap. Jump across this gap,
then look to your right. Shoot out the A/C unit in front of you and enter
for this hard to find secret. (If you drop down from where this secret is
to the lower level, you'll be very near the "Air Lock Controls LOCKED"
sign.)
---------
SECRET #4
---------
- At the teleporter you use after the second air lock for secret #3, stop
just before using the teleporter. To your right will be a set of doors
with a Babe on them and a control panel. Directly behind you is Secret
#4. As you face the teleporter, with the Babe doors to your right, turn
around 180 degrees. (Hit Triangle) Look up. You'll see an A/C unit
jutting out from the wall. Shoot it away then climb up the glowing metal
column on your left. Then from this point, jump grab onto the little
walkway where the A/C unit was. Climb up and enter the opening for Secret
#4 and the Quest Item. Use the Control Panel in this room to open the
doors to get out.
---------
SECRET #5
---------
- From the "Air Lock Controls" control panel, where you saw all the
baddies blown up in the airlock, turn around 180 degrees (Hit Triangle).
Look up and to your left a bit and you'll see an A/C unit jutting out of
the wall in front of a small walkway. Behind it is Secret #5. Getting
there is another matter. If you have enough JetPack just fly up there.
If not, from this "Air Lock Controls" control panel turn around 180
degrees so you're facing away from the airlock sign. Follow the path to
your left (NOT through the air lock) as it curves around to the right
(don't take right path at the fork). A short distance away you'll come
upon a teleporter on the floor. Use this teleporter. When you're through
the teleporter you'll be on the upper level with the "Spanky Monkey"
below you. Face in the direction of the "Spanky Monkey" then turn left.
Follow this passage ALL the way around until it ends at a ledge. In front
of you is a gap with a little walkway and an A/C unit. Shoot away the A/C
unit and enter the opening that was hidden behind it for Secret #5.

CHEAT UNLOCKED
--------------
- Ending Movie and Invulnerability (see note below)
NOTE: For some reason, at least so far, the game refuses to save these
unlocked cheats after I complete the Combat level. Completing this level
means finding all the secrets and killing the boss. You'll get the
Invulnerability and Ending Movie cheats unlocked, but they won't be saved
so you seem to have to complete this level again to unlock those cheats
(unless you use the button cheats to unlock the cheats :) which doesn't
make any sense. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
========================
4. EASTER EGG (General):
========================
1) Let Duke stand unattended in a safe area for a while. He'll do a few
funny things and say something to you.
2) Talk to any Babe walking around. Duke and the Babe will have about
four different conversations. Also, your ego will get a boost of about 5
points during some conversations.
3) Hit X while Duke is standing in front of a toilet for a 5 point Ego
boot.
4) During the Ending Movie, you can see the development team's picture on
the wall.
5) During the end credits you'll see all sorts of interesting things in
the three tiny screens on the right. Too bad we didn't see this stuff in
the game!
6) If Duke get's "blow'd up" then you use a continue, you'll often see
Duke's blood still dripping everywhere when you return to the area you
died in. Maybe it's not an Easter Egg per se, but it's still kinda fun.
7) On levels with sharks and water that you can drain, leave one or two
sharks alive and see what happens to them when the water is gone.
=====================
5. SECRETS (General):
=====================
1) Unconfirmed so far. Play through the game once and find all the
Secrets and Quest Items, then load that saved game and play through again
using the Stealth Generator to rescue all Babes on the levels BEFORE the
level where you get the Stealth Generator. This may or may not unlock the
three hidden DukeMatches #7, 8 & 9. It seems like if you don't rescue a
Babe, and she is killed, you need to start a fresh new game, not from a
save, in order to save her. Only Babes that yell, "Duke Save Me!" may
count. I just don't know at this point. The game keeps crashing when I
try to play through a second time so I can't confirm this yet. It is
interesting to note that upon subsequent playing, you can save Babes in
levels where your first time through you didn't have the Stealth
Generator yet. If these are not three extra DukeMatch levels then they
are some more levels for something. Pop the CD-ROM into your computer and
you'll find folders 00-14 which are the game levels and the training
level, then you'll find folders 23-31, which must be DukeMatch Levels,
but 9 of them??? If you hunt around with a GameShark Pro with the Memory
Editor feature, you'll find some text about these extra DukeMatches and
even one that appears to say "DukeMatch 9: Unlocked".
=======================
6. BRIEF GAMEPLAY TIPS:
=======================
1) Don't kill Babes.
2) When you hear a Babe yell, "Duke Save me!" find her quick and save her.
3) Don't Freeze yourself.
4) Don't use a cheat the first time you play a level. If you do use
something like Temp. Invulnerability or Double Damage you won't get a
cheat unlocked even if you find all secrets and the Quest Item. This may
apply to cheats that are activated only during the game and receive a
Gunblast sound when activated.
5) Most crates don't have anything in them.
6) Flaming barrels will explode if shot.
7) Using the Energy Weapon at close range is useless.
8) Use the Throwing Knives (you have an infinite supply) to destroy
crates to save ammo when no enemies are around.
9) Any liquid other than transparent water is nearly instantly deadly:
green slimy stuff, red hot lava...
10) The Nightvision Goggles are only good for navigating to one secret
and even then you don't really need them.
11) If you restart a level after using all four of your continues you'll
only have basic weapons. It's better to load a saved game.
12) If you're in outer space and see a window leading to outer space,
it's generally a good idea to avoid it, especially if it's on the floor.
13) In my opinion the Freezer is the best weapon. It's cool to bounce a
freeze blast around a corner to nail a baddie, then quickly switch to
another weapon and shoot him to pieces. If you run up to a frozen baddie
Duke will kick him into pieces.
14) You can toss more than one pipebomb before setting them off. Just
toss one, then hit CIRCLE, then toss that one until you have as many as
you want all over the place. Hit X to detonate them all at once. Watch
the game completely bog down!
15) Some things you need to destroy to open or go through take several
shots to destroy. Usually five at most, one at the least.
16) Save after each level into the same save file. The game may crash at
any time.
17) You can't kill cloaked baddies until you uncloak them by shooting the
cloaking device.
18) Speaking of cloaking, don't shoot baddies with the Stealth Generator.
They'll turn nearly invisible. And although I can freeze myself with the
Freezer gun, I can't shoot myself with the Stealth Generator to make
myself invisible.
======================
7. BUGS I ENCOUNTERED:
======================
1) The game locked up more than a few times. Mainly during the "Babes in
Distress" level but it also froze during the "Big Guns" level when I was
running and switching weapons simultaneously. It also froze up once near
the end of "Space Bay" during a big battle.
2) Once, during the final level "Combat" a PigCop was blasted with a
pipebomb through a window in the first room you encounter them and into
outer space and just stayed there floating, dead.
3) I fell through the game's textures a few times when navigating objects
or running into a corner.
4) Texture Meshes/Clipping is just horrible.
5) When MonkeyBaring someplace Duke seems to drift to the left.
6) When pushing an object for a little while Duke will drift to the right.
7) Once when the game crashed, the audio kept playing all the things Duke
and the Babes say. I heard a Babe remark, "Careful Duke, it's hot in
here...like you." I have yet to hear a Babe say that during the game.
8) Occasionally, albeit rarely, when Duke goes from one elevation to
another either by stepping up or by climbing up he'll suddenly be whisked
away to another part of that room. It's really disconcerting and a nasty
bug if you happen to reappear above some lava.
9) If the floor where Duke is has angles to the sides, sometimes Duke
will hit the angles when he's walking and just stop moving. Then it seems
like you cannot move him for a second or two before he'll start walking
forwards again.
10) In the level "Big Guns" the ship flying around shooting at you
occasionally with it's laser beam will sometimes be able to shoot through
a building and hit you. Lame.
11) No matter how hard I try I just can't seem to kill all the baddies in
some levels. The final score always seems to leave one or two left. I'm
not sure if this is a bug or not.
12) In Level 8, "Silverback's Stronghold", there are three Babes in
rotating machines that you need to rescue. If you zap them with the
Stealth Generator before you stop them from spinning the game will not
recognize that you have rescued them until you hit the controls to stop
the empty spinning machines. The audio will have a hard time trying to
keep up with the mix of Babe and Duke comments.
13) Level 11, Space Port. The boss on this level is called "Motherbrain"
above her hit point meter while you fight her, but in the objectives in
the pause menu she's listed as "Hunter Killer Brain".
14) Sometimes, when I'm using the Look button to aim a shot, the gun and
the view will drift upwards on their own no matter how many times I pull
it back down. This happens with analog mode both on and off on the
controller.
15) Level 12, Space Bay, in this low gravity environment, when Duke jumps
up from the water in the trash compactor the water will drop off of him
as if in normal gravity.
16) Level 12, Space Bay, the laser turret in the beginning of this level,
where you fight the MechApe was aligned properly and shot out the door
but Duke still remarked, "Oops. A little off target."
