A lot has changed in Britain since 1997.

The Labour Party swept to victory only to be ousted by a coalition government. Prince William met a fetching young lady at Uni and proceeded to marry her. London submitted a bid for the Olympic Games...and won. Oddly.

One underlying constant throughout this period, though, is the appearance (or rather non-appearance) of first-person shooter Duke Nukem Forever.

This mythical beast should – and one emphasises the word ‘should’ here – finally hit store shelves on 10th June 10 under the stewardship of Gearbox Software.

You may justifiably ask, “Why is he mentioning all this?”

Simples.

A Touch Arcade forum goer has donned his detective hat and spied a reference to Apple’s App Store in the licensing agreement for Duke Nukem Forever on Steam. Somebody give that sleuth a biscuit.

Put two and two together and Dukey may be taking names on iPhone in the near future. Or maybe in 2025.
