-->''"New York... If I can kill them here, I can kill them anywhere!"''
-->''"Time to de-worm the Big Apple!"''

--> ''"You must be 18 or older to ride."''

--> ''"This is why they have games named after me."''

--> ''"Jeez, you'd think Morphix could afford a few light bulbs."''

--> ''"I don't remember buying tickets for [[Theatre/DisneyOnIce Mutants On Ice]]"''

* InexplicableTreasureChests: The game puts ammo and health (and sometimes [[PlotToken Nukes]])in ordinary-looking crates and barrels.

--> ''"Seems like Morphix puts worker safety first... right after everything else."''
--> ''"Something tells me this won't pass any safety inspections."''

--> ''"Mimic '''that'''!"''

--> ''"There're only two ways this can end. And in both of 'em, you die!"''

--> ''"[[spoiler:The Big Apple and the world is saved. Mech Morphix space station will splashdown somewhere in the South Pacific.\\

--> ''"Morphix and his GLOPP reign are going down faster than [[MegaCorp Enron]]."''

--> ''"The fortune cookie didn't say anything about this! You will never take me alive! If this doesn't kill you, the bombs in the subway will!"''

--> ''"Ah, just in time."''

--> ''"Maybe I spoke too soon."''

--> '''''"I am the king of the world, baby."'''''

** ...only for her to reappear again. Cue the BossBattle:

--> ''"I don't remember buying tickets for [[Disney/DisneyOnIce Mutants On Ice]]"''

A port of this game was released for XboxLiveArcade in 2010, made directly by 3DRealms.

--> ''"There's a worm in the {{Big Apple|sauce}}. Radioactive green [[AppliedPhlebotinum GLOPP]] has flooded the city's water supply, turning every sewer dwelling creature it touches into a man hunting mutant. This was no accident -- it's the work of Morphix, [[MadScientist a brilliant mastermind gone mad]]. But when things go bad in the city that never sleeps, there's one man who can be counted on to take out the trash: [[TitleDrop Duke Nukem]]. Hail to the king, baby!"''
--> '''Game's intro'''

--> ''"Babes, bullets, bombs... damn, I love this job!"''
--> '''-- Duke.'''

* BadAss: Duke has his share of quips here:
** Killing a giant mutant roach in the subway:
--> ''"Mimic '''that'''!"''
** Before the first boss battle (against Morphix in a helicopter)
--> ''"There're only two ways this can end. And in both of 'em, you die!"''

'''Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project''' is the fourth entry in the ''VideoGame/DukeNukem'' franchise. It's a sidescrolling platformer, somewhat in style of the first two ''Duke Nukem'' games, developed by Sunstorm Interactive and published by ARUSH Entertainment in 2002.

* SuperDrowningSkills: Unlike it's predecessors, it's played straight here. Water won't hurt you, unless you're trying to swim.

* PunnyName: Some of the shop names in Chinatown Chiller, such as "Wan-Sum" (liquor)[[note]]From Duke's catchphrase "Who wants some?[[/note]], and "Long Fat Pow" (fireworks).

--> ''"You must be 18 years old to ride."''

--> ''"I don't remember buying tickets for Disney/DisneyOnIce"''

* KingMook: Except for the helicopter in level 1, the giant Queen Roach in the middle of the game, and the final boss, all the game's level bosses are simply more powerful versions of standard enemies.

--> ''"Seems like Morphix puts security first... right after everything else."''

* {{Shareware}}: Possibly.

--> ''"Morphix and his GLOPP reign will go down faster than [[MegaCorp Enron]]."''

*** To be fair, Duke has games named after him in universe.

''Manhattan'' says at the end that Duke Nukem will return in ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''. Little did everybody know that the "[[MeaningfulName Forever]]" in the name was... [[DevelopmentHell a bit literal]], but that's for that page.

--> ''"I don't remember buying tickets for DisneyOnIce"''

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The episode titles: Rooftop Rebellion, Metro Madness, Unholy Underworld, Fearsome Factory, Tanker Trouble, Deviant Drilling and Orbital Oblivion. So far, only the second episode (Chinatown Thriller) averts this.

The game is set after the events of ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D''. This time, Duke faces another MadScientist, Mech Morphix, and his army of mutants and robots. Morphix wants to use a [[AppliedPhlebotinum radioactive]] [[HollywoodAcid slime]] called [[FunWithAcronyms G.L.O.P.P.]] to mutate insects and other species into giant monstrousness.

''Manhattan'' contains the same side-scrolling gameplay of the first two games, but with the environment itself constructed in 3D, producing an interesting 2.5D hybrid of the earlier games, plus Duke's attitude and mannerisms from ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D''.
