Good Old Games (GOG) is throwing a DRM-free holiday party, and you're invited. For starters, the company is offering the classic PC shooter Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition for free until December 14 at 14:49 GMT. This Atomic Edition, originally released in November 1996, includes the original three-episode game and the Plutonium PAK which adds another eleven-level fourth episode.
In addition to the free game, GOG is also throwing in HD wallpapers, ringtones, avatars and artwork as bonus content. There are also fan-made mods listed on the GOG forums here including a high resolution mod, the Hellduke total conversion, Aliens vs. Duke, Borg Nukem, and more.
