Apogee Software, creator of classic PC games such as the Duke Nukem series and Rise of the Triad, as well as pioneer of the ‘shareware’ system of game distribution, has announced that they are to revive some 30+ franchises from their catalogue.

In particular, Apogee hope to release the Duke Nukem Trilogy for handheld consoles, comprising 3 new missions, namely ‘Critical Mass’, ‘Chain Reaction’ and ‘Proving Grounds.’

“It’s funny how what’s old is new again in this industry,” remarked Apogee co-founder, Scott Miller. “Many of the things Apogee pioneered are back in style, so it only makes sense to bring back Apogee and its properties with a visionary team that will once again create innovation for gamers around the world.”

Apogee/3D Realms will also be collaborating with a variety of developers to bring new intellectual properties to the games market.
