Shooters are a dime a dozen but classics such as Duke Nukem 3D will always have a special place in the hearts of PC gamers worldwide. Which is why gog.com is offering Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition free of charge to Mac users for 48 hours.

Although Duke hasn’t been as popular on the Mac as it’s been on Windows PCs, there are a lot of die-hard fans out there who have no problem shooting a pixelated RPG with their svelte Magic Mouse.

A piece of gaming history coded by the people at 3D Realms and ported to the Mac by Apogee, Duke Nukem 3D is “the most legendary first person perspective shooter featuring […] one of the most iconic characters of all time,” according to the game’s description.

Don’t bother looking for the system requirements because you can probably run this thing on a toaster. All you need is a quick sign-up over at gog.com and they’ll hand you the binary before you can say “Hmm, don't have time to play with myself.”
