The Build engine has done much for the world of gaming. It was the ideal platform for Duke Nukem to be turned into a much-loved game, easily the best Duke game made.

It was used as a base for many other 3D games of the era and spawned any army of fans and mods.

This is my tribute to Build featuring interviews, entertainment and a never before seen look at Polytex.
