This is an original vintage promotional t-shirt for DUKE NUKEM 3D - produced by the game's publisher (not developer) GT Interactive the year the game out in 1996 and bearing the same headline (on the back of the shirt) as the original launch ad for the game: "You gotta love a guy who thinks the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms is a convenience store."  I added an image of the ad for the Mac version of the game that used the headline.

I worked for the ad agency that did all of GT Interactive's creative work in the 1990s in New York and we were given these shirts when we started working on the Duke game as it was ported from PC into other formats (Mac and then later the consoles). We didn't write the headline but we always thought it was a killer.

The shirt is XL and measures 22"/58 cm from armpit to armpit. It has no tears or holes. There a few yellow aging spots but they are barely noticeable. The graphic is aged and faded appropriately for its age but there is no flaking or damage to it. Please see the photos.

A really rare and collectable shirt from the golden age of gaming when first-person shooters were just starting to take over the gaming world (alongside Wolfenstein and Doom etc) and there was only one King, baby!
