View source for Installation Guide for Official Add-ons

This guide is intended to help users install the officially released add-ons to Duke Nukem 3D. Unlike other mods, they are unique in the facts that they were officially endorsed by 3D Realms (making them canon) and they were (and are) for sale. 

Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition and its expansion packs can be purchased DRM-free from [https://www.zoom-platform.com/product/duke-nukem-3d-atomic-edition ZOOM Platform].

Disclaimer: This guide assumes you have legally acquired a legitimate copy (or demo) of the add-on you wish to install, from eBay, etc.

'''Do not ask where you can acquire these add-ons illegally.'''

<font size="3">Before proceeding, ensure you have downloaded the latest [http://www.eduke32.com/ EDuke32] and installed Duke Nukem 3D by copying the DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS files to your EDuke32 directory.</font>
