If you have the original Duke Nukem 3D install CDs for DOS, you can use
the "eduke32" port rather than a VM or DOS emulator. eduke32 is a port
of the graphics engine for Duke 3D that renders using OpenGL, and uses the
original game files from the CD (requires them, actually). There's just one
file you need to copy off the CD to make it work ("game.con" IIRC).
There is also something called a "High Resolution Pack" (HRP) for eduke32 that
updates the maps to higher res, but I've never been able to get the HRP to work
on FreeBSD, even though it works and looks great on Linux. The eduke32 port
once emitted a message telling you about the HRP and where to find it, but
never explained how to install it or use it on BSD (and the HRP web site has
only Windows and Linux-specific installers). Just looked, and it appears that
this reference to the HRP is now removed from the FreeBSD port.
