Okay, this is challenging to me especially the save file whenever I go to a hallway screens and start saving for the first time. So, whenever I exit the game, then start the game, I can't find a way to load a save file. Duke Nukem runs on Windows 98 SE
in 86Box just because my modern Windows thinks it's a virus, it's not and I had to put the games in the OS. I know this is about DOS-related, but I really need some help.

I checked the game files and there was a saved file (saved1.dn1), so whenever I open up my game, there is nothing anything else to load a saved file. I don't know why, and it's basically just the way playing the first level, saving file again when I press number one, then exiting the game, booting up the game, can't load the saved file.

Does anybody have the same problem with this, even if not on 86Box?

It's not clear what the problem is exactly. What happens when you press R to R)RESTORE AN OLD GAME? Or isn't the option there at all?
