Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition, for DOS, contains 4 episodes. In 2016, a Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary Edition was released for modern Windows and other modern consoles which contained the original 4 episodes, plus a new episode 5 - Alien World Order.

Does anyone know if Alien World Order will work in DOS with Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition, or is it entirely incompatible? Thanks.

No, it's a World Tour exclusive and uses features found only in World Tour (i.e. commentary tracks, ogg vorbis music and sound).

Raze did try to reverse engineer some of it to support it though, but apart from that, nothing for DOS to support it. I don't think there's any maintained dos duke port anyway.

Thanks.

I may have considered Duke Nukem 3D World Tour for XP as a fallback, but it looks like the Windows option World Tour was via Steam. Steam support for XP ended on Jan 1, 2019. I suppose people could have theoretically played World Tour on XP for a little over 2 years. Oh wel... I'll tell my kids that four episodes is all they will get with Duke Nukem 3D Atomic.

Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary Edition was never compatible with Windows XP to begin with. The engine is using Direct3D 11. If you import it to one of the Build source-ports, you probably could play it on Windows XP. Build GDX is reported to be compatible.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
