Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition is an expansion to Duke Nukem 3D (DOS) which included the Plutonium Pak and various Windows toys like screen savers and themes. The Atomic Edition added a whole new episode with new music, three new enemies, a new gun, AI controlled bots for multi-player and a much more sophisticated scripting language which greatly helped the modding community.

Music

The new music in the Atomic Edition was composed entirely by Lee Jackson. Sadly, the music seems to have been rushed into the game and it isn't very impressive. It's still a combination of ambiance, mood music, and metal, but for the most part the music is dull and uninspired. The parody of the Mission: Impossible theme is cute, but over all the music could have benefited from a little more production time.

But Atomic Edition included the full version of the Duke Nukem 3D main theme Grabbag as a single Redbook CD Audio track. However, since game doesn't use it, it was not recorded.
