Killjoy's Exploits: WWII GI [Episode 1: D-Day]

KEP-9A: This is a full run of the first episode of the cult WW2 first person shooter that was released on MS-DOS and constructed in the cult classic Build Engine [Duke Nukem 3D] and issued in 1999, the last game to be released commercially in that engine in the 20th Century [there were later games, such as those Petrilla Entertainment mods and "Ion Fury", but those were in the 21st Century, so...].

Here the player controls an American GI ["galvanized iron"] who has to effectively be the one-man-army against the combined forces of those no-good, dastardly, scum-sucking, single-testicled, fascist socialist poepols of the German Nazi Third Reich.

The player has access to the following weapons: The M4 Thompson [default starting weapon], German MP-40, Browning Automatic Rifle, Bazooka, German Kar-98K [for a sniper rifle - extremely accurate], TNT charges, satchel charges, Grenade Garand rifles, flamethrowers, a pair of Colt M1911 pistols akimbo, and plenty of American Army-issued assault pineapples to go around.

Some of the mechanics of the game can be absolutely unforgiving as this game is harder than a GI's 💩 after being held in for three days while busy kicking Nazi @$$, but when played with the God Mode cheat activated [which is what I did here], it becomes an enjoyably masochistic experience for the patriotic gaming masochist.

Remember My Advice: Don't Be a Masochist, Winners Use Cheats [but only in single-player]

In case you're wondering, I played the game through the EDuke32 source port, framed the game in 1.33:1 and rendered the whole video in 576p with a 25fps frame rate, which gives the whole thing the exact feel of watching this on Saturday morning TV in Australia back in the pre-HD days of the 1990s...

Extra Note: On original MS-DOS, typing "WW2God" activates God Mode, but on EDuke32, just bring up the console and simply type in "God" to activate the invulnerability.
