Been looking for this game for years, and now that i have it i tried in on Jduke and it worked!!!
Need to make a new config and make a batch file to add the grp and con files and it works fine!!
I suggest Y'all try it out.

LOL! Go to that page and the first line is:
Probably the worst FPS based on Build engine ever made
but I remember playing it and it was fun. *CLICK* .....oh crap

That may be true, but its still a build game and any build game is fun :D

Obviously whomever wrote that has never played TekWar, Witchhaven, Extreme Paintbrawl, et cetera.

Extreme Paintbrawl is absolutely attrocious but NAM is still up there in the list of bad FPS games. However, TekWar and Witchaven are both pretty decent.

As a free mod for Duke, NAM's a nice diversion.
As a retail game, it suffers.

I agree dosn't really make much sense.
Platoon, nice little idea basically, the perfect vietnam war conversion for duke.
Nam, nice idea with the guns doing more damage but OMG what did they do with the map creator guy? Get him drunk while having a stripper standing behind the monitor?
It's gotta be the worst (ok most deffo not the worst) map design in a build game ever, its dull and very badly constructed.
I mean they know tricks such as mutiple floors from sprites etc but eughhhh its quite painfull to look at and to think they probably made money out of it.
To put it in short i could make better maps and thats no joke, honestly.
Guns look ok... for duke, sounds are crap tho.

i checked out this game and it surely wasnt the *worst* game i've seen so far. it reminds me a bit of modern ww2 shooters, like mohaa and battlefield, except that the graphics are worse. the map designs are like any other game in its genre. and if you think BF2 is a great game and NAM isnt, i feel the same about BF2 and NAM tbh... altho i would rather play NAM because of its oldskool or retro factor.
makes me wonder if some of those other build games run on jfduke tho. i know redneck rampage doesnt run on an unmodified jfduke, but if nam does, maybe others do...

I remember first seeing it on the shelf, and getting it as an impulse buy, It was cheap.
I remember being quite shocked by the your shot your dead approach at the time.
I also remember *saving* often. I find it painful now after 2 days of duke.

TekWar is playable for me, but I agreed: the rest of the Intracorp/Capstone games are horrible.
But I never played Paintbrawl. Is there a demo available somewhere? I heard it's a really bad game, but I want to try it.

I don't know if there's a demo for Paintbrawl or not. I do know, however, that the game was made from the Duke3D source in about 2 weeks, including map/art creation time. They didn't even bother to change the Duke3D cheats... or code enemy AI, for that matter. I also seem to recall that the entire game only had 3 sounds in it.
This thing was truly an abomination of Big Rigs proportions.

That's being unfair to abominations.

nam's not bad
IT'S JUST REALISTIC! Go play operation flashpoint, and you will find NAM much, much easier to play.
WWII GI is much harder than NAM imo.
Personally I love farcely realistic games. I'd want to play a game where you die instantly or at least have your legs crippled by falling 10 feet armed with a heavy weapon.
NAM's grenades sucked though, because you can pick them up intact without explosion after the pin is pulled and the grenade is thrown. Some pipebomb hack eh !

I made a small CON file that changes the behaviour of some of the weapons so that they are almost the same as the original NAM game.
Use it with Eduke32.
To get it go to:
http://www.tyndomyn.net/files/nam_enh.con
To run it, put the following parameter after the normal ones (/gnam.grp, /xgame.con):
/xnam_enh.con

how to do it
Genjuro Kibagami, how do you make a new config and make a batch file to add the grp and con files?
