A little bit of follow-up on that Army of Darkness thing. First off Scott Miller of 3DRealms addresses some of the influences AoD had on Duke3D in his .plan update at fingershack.com. Also, Derek Fridman dug up this link to the developers who are apparently working on the AoD game.

  • >>> About the .pan files, those weren\'t the only lines ripped from AoD. I remember Duke saying something about a \"boomstick\" when you picked up a shotgun. I believe there was a few others too. <<<

    Boomstick is hardly a word that the Evil Dead movies made famous -- it\'s a well-known slang word for shotgun that\'s been around a long, long time. Plus, I don\'t remember Duke saying this in the game, though I could be wrong. George and I went through the Duke 3D\'s speech files and found only three things Duke said from Army of Darkness. We saw it as paying homage to one of our favorite movies. Somehow a lot of people mistakenly got the impression that a lot more of what Duke said came from the Evil Dead movies, but that\'s not the case.

    Also, it\'s a huge coincidence that I posted my plan update on the day the Evil Dead based games was announced. I only read that announcement *after* I posted my plan file (which specifically addressed a highly inaccurate fact stated in Computer Games Magazine).
