''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project'' byl navržen na základě 3D prostředí známého jako [[Prism3D]]. Úrovně a postavy jsou plně trojrozměrné a kamera i Duke se může pohybovat po kterékoliv ose, ale pohyb je omezen dvojrozměrnou rovinou. Díky 3D enginu může hráč přibližovat a oddalovat kameru na přicházející nepřátele nebo na zobrazení celého bojiště. Duke se umí skrčit, běhat, skákat a skluzem se umí protáhnout pod překážkami.
Hra je rozdělena do osmi kapitol, ž nichž má každá tři části. V každé části musí hráč osvobodit dívku připoutanou ke GLOPP bombě a najít barevnou přístupovou kartu potřebnou na odemčení další části. V některých částech dostane hráč možnost za pomocí [[Raketový batoh|jetpacku]] přeletět velké prázdné oblasti nebo nebezpečné úseky. Ovládání je také velice jednoduché na naučení, používají se pouze klávesy na skákání, pohyb, střelbu a změnu braně. Použitím cheatu lze natočit kameru do libovolného úhlu a pořídit si tak screenshot. Herní CD obsahuje level editor pojmenovaný ''PrismEd'', ale tvorba levelů nikdy nedosáhla přílišné popularity mezi hráči a dnes je aktivní pouze malá komunita editující levely.
==DevelopmentVývoj==
V roce 1996, George Broussard byl dotazován na budoucnost projektů společnosti 3D Realms: řekl, že Duke Nukem plošinovka nazývána ''Duke Nukem Forever'' byla ve vývoji a měla by přijít na trh o Vánocích 1997. Projekt byl později zrušen a název ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'' znovu přiřazen pro opravdové pokračování ''Duke Nukem 3D''. Když byl ''Manhattan Project'' poprvé ukázán na veřejnosti, fámy, že jde o zrušený projekt ''Duke Nukem Forever'', ale toto bylo poté vyjasněno: ''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project'' je hra náležející společnosti ARUSH.
In 1996, [[George Broussard]] was interviewed about future 3D Realms projects: he said that a Duke Nukem side-scroller called ''Duke Nukem Forever'' was in production and was supposed to come out by Christmas 1997.<ref>[http://www.google.com/groups?hl=it&lr=&selm=19970211022400.VAA02941%40ladder01.news.aol.com Google Gruppi<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The project was later cancelled, with the name ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'' reassigned to the true ''Duke Nukem 3D'' sequel. When ''Manhattan Project'' was first shown to the public, rumours began to spread about it actually being the cancelled ''Duke Nukem Forever'' side-scroller, but this has since been clarified: ''Manhattan Project'' is a game original to ARUSH. A port of ''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project'' was released to the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] on June 23, 2010 for 800 Microsoft Points (MSP). The release includes two avatar awards (Jetpack and Duke Nukem logo T-shirt) that can be unlocked in game.<ref>{{cite web|date=2010-02-12|url= http://www.3drealms.com/news/2010/06/duke_nukem_manhattan_project_xbla_announced.html |title =Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project XBLA Announced! |publisher= [[3D Realms]]|accessdate=2010-06-10}}</ref>
===LegalExterní status=odkazy==
* [http://www.3drealms.com/dukemp/index.html Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project pagestránka atna 3D Realms] ▼In 2004 ''Manhattan Project'' developer [[ARUSH Entertainment]] was bought out by HIP Interactive. Soon afterwards, HIP went bankrupt, and took ARUSH down with them. Because of bankruptcy proceedings, the legal rights to ''Manhattan Project'' are now held by a court appointed bankruptcy firm. [[3D Realms]] has inquired about retrieving the rights, but has been unable to do so. This has been detailed a few times online by 3D Realms' webmaster [[Joe Siegler]] in their online forums,<ref>[http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?p=337179#post337179 Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project Forum Removed - 3D Realms Forums<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?p=298288#post298288 ROTT Online - 3D Realms Forums<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> most recently in June 2006. Of the situation, Siegler said:
[[Kategorie:Duke Nukem]]
:Arush got bought out by a larger company. The parent company went belly up, and took Arush down with 'em. DNMP is now the legal property of a court appointed holding company involved in the bankruptcy proceedings of the parent company whose name I can't remember.

:[[Scott Miller (programmer)|Scott]] & I tried to contact them about either getting the rights back so we could sell it ourselves, or just releasing it as freeware. Unfortunately, said company "isn't interested in dealing with us", per Scott.
:So DNMP is in rights hell, unfortunately. I would wager being the folks who "are" Duke Nukem, we could probably fight that and get the rights back, but it wouldn't be worth it, really. A lot of court costs just to release a game as freeware, or sell it when it didn't sell much in the first place.
Sometime after the bankruptcy, the official website for ''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project'' was allowed to lapse and as was registered by a [[domain squatter]].<ref>[http://www.dukenukemmp.com dukenukemmp.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Fortunately, before all the materials were lost, Joe Siegler was able to recover a copy of the contents of the official ''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project'' website from a former ARUSH employee, and now hosts the former contents on the 3D Realms Website.<ref name=3dr />
In late February 2009, the online gaming distribution site [[GOG.com]] announced some Apogee Software titles as being available in the future for sale on their site. On this list was ''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project''.<ref>[http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/duke_nukem_manhattan_project Gog.com Website: Duke MP]</ref> The game actually became available again for sale on March 10, 2009 through GOG.com's online store. When queried about this chain of events, Joe Siegler responded with a post on the 3D Realms forums,<ref>[http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?p=834529#post834529 3D Realms Forums]</ref> saying that some legal work was being done in 2008 to unstick the rights to the game. It would appear that these rights have been cleared up, but the exact nature of the issue (or more to the point, the resolution of the legal quagmire) is currently unknown.
==Reception==
Manhattan Project received mostly positive ratings, in the range of 7-8 out of 10. GameSpy gave the game 83%, calling it "A slick platform arcade game at a reasonable price... captures Duke perfectly; great system performance; clever use of 3D. Similarly, Game Over gave the game an 81% score, praising it: "Movement is kept at a brisk pace and there are plenty of monsters to blow away... a refreshing evolutionary step for the platform game without play devolving into a third person behind-the-back affair" GameSpot, with a 7.9 out of 10, was more neutral, saying, "It's straightforward and good-looking... the levels are huge, and most have several paths you can take."<ref>{{cite web|title=Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project (PC)|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/dukenukemmanhattanproject/index.html|publisher=Gamespot|accessdate=25 April 2011}}</ref> IGN awarded it a 7.7 out of 10, citing, "Manhattan Project is a polished, tried, and true title... worthy of a recommendation, especially given its keen price point and familiar antihero."
