Easter Egg Image from Duke Nukem 3D Mac

Posted by: Dandu on 2026-07-17 15:25:58 Hi A friend want to make a new port from Duke 3D with the Easter Egg from the Mac version... and we have a problem. The problem is the Mac OS desktop. If you use the code DNMACS, the security monitors on the game are replaced by a Mac OS Desktop file. We want to extract the file, but it complicated. Actually, the image seems to be on the ressources from the executable (the demo is here https://macintoshgarden.org/games/duke-nukem-3d-atomic-edition) But i can't extract the images. I don't know how to handle images liket that, and i suppose it's 256 colors indexed image. With a Windows soft, i can see the image, but with wrong colors. Can you help me ? I join the excutable, the ressources, the image (from the game) and the version that i have decoded. (for the other Easter Egg, the 1984 ads, i have found the QuickTime video on the CD)

Posted by: adespoton on 2026-09-18 10:21:23 I presume the image is a PICT? Have you tried using GraphicConverter?

Posted by: Dandu on 2026-09-25 08:43:56 DN1984 play the commercial on the cinema. DNGLENDA replace two images with photos from Glenda Adams : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2026/09/12/le-code-dnglenda-de-duke-3d/
