Duke Nukem 3D (HP TouchPad)

Duke Nukem 3D for the HP TouchPad is an authorized^{^[1]} port by MachineWorks Northwest that was published on July 5, 2011.^{^[2]} The downloadable app was listed only as Duke in the official app catalog.^{^[3]} It sold for $2 US dollars in North America^{^[4]} and £2.38 British pounds in Europe.^{^[3]}

The game was advertised as a direct port of the PC version,^{^[3]^[5]} with the only reported modification being that it uses on-screen directional movement buttons instead of a mouse and keyboard.^{^[5]} However, a nearly identical port with the same on-screen directional movement buttons was previously developed for iOS by the same studio, suggesting this version may have actually been a port of the Android/iOS version instead of the PC version.

Trivia

An unauthorized port of Duke Nukem 3D for webOS, the operating system used by the HP TouchPad, was posted online by Henk Jonas in March 2010, a full year before the authorized port by MachineWorks Northwest.
