Monstrously-delayed sequel to the popular FPS Duke Nukem 3D. There have been many other Duke adventures in between, developed by third-parties under license, including:

Duke Nukem: Time To Kill
Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
Duke Nukem: Zero Hour

Some good, some bad. However many gamers want the official merchandise from 3D Realms themselves, and 3DR are simply not delivering. They haven't even released a single screenshot or anything about the game since they started over on the project several years ago. One wonders what on Earth is going on at 3DR at the moment.

Get the Duke Nukem Forever mug.
A nickname for videogame duke nukem forever, based on the fact that 3d realms are waiting for a real nukewar before launching it.
For over nine years, they've been making this game. Expected in 1997, then a few years later, now the end of the year.

Search Google for the "missed release dates" + "Duke Nukem Forever", and you'll get a rather funny list of serious statements from the developers. Now they just say, "There is no (release) date."

Get the when duke nukem forever comes out mug.
Duke Nukem Forever, the sequel to Duke Nukem 3D, quickly became one of the most hotly anticipated games of all time. But on May 6, 2009, everything ended.they gathered for a group photo. They were videogame programmers, artists, level builders, artificial-intelligence experts. Their team was—finally—giving up, declaring defeat, and disbanding. So they headed down to the lobby of their building in Garland, Texas, to smile for the camera. They arranged themselves on top of their logo: a 10-foot-wide nuclear-radiation sign, inlaid in the marble floor.To videogame fans, that logo is instantly recognizable. It's the insignia of Duke Nukem 3D, a computer game that revolutionized shoot-'em-up virtual violence in 1996. Featuring a swaggering, steroidal, wisecracking hero, Duke Nukem 3D became one of the top-selling videogames ever, making its creators very wealthy and leaving fans absolutely delirious for a sequel. The team quickly began work on that sequel, Duke Nukem Forever, and it became one of the most hotly anticipated games of all time.
Duke Nukem Lierop was From what he'd seen of it, Duke Nukem Forever was so well developed — and so graphically superior to any other game in production — that if 3D Realms pushed hard for a year, they could release it and "blow everyone out of the water." No, no, Broussard replied. It was two years out. Van Lierop was stunned. "I thought, 'Wow, how many times have you been here, near the finish line, and you thought you were way out?'"
