Technical implementation
The game's play control suffers from all objects only moving in 8x8 "blocks" rather than individual pixels like most other shooters,.

This problem also appears in Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure and Duke Nukem II. Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure is a Video game programmed by Todd Replogle and published by Apogee Software in 1992 Duke Nukem II is an MS-DOS Platform game developed by Apogee Software and released December 3, 1993.

History
After the game's release, Apogee became aware of a Captain Planet villain called Duke Nukem[3], and to avoid a lawsuit Apogee's game was renamed Duke Nukum in its version 2. Captain Planet is a Superhero in the Animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers and The New Adventures of Captain Planet Duke Nukem is a supervillain from the Captain Planet and the Planeteers Cartoon series 0. It later turned out that Duke Nukem was not a registered name, so Apogee registered it and used the original Duke Nukem name in the sequels. A sequel is a work in Literature, Film, or other media that portrays events following those of a previous work [4]
