What era was Megadeth's "Duke Nukem" song written?

[ubermensch]

Bands go through changes - lineups, sound, producers, locations etc - and I'm wondering if any Megadeth nutters know when their "Duke Nukem" song was written? It doesn't *sound* like anything from the past few years, but I'm no expert on their history.

Any ideas?

My guess is somewhere in the time of Countdown to Extinction, but could be later on and Megadeth replicated the style of that time.

You guys [i]do[/i] know that it's a cover version of the theme to Duke Nukem 3D?

No need to be a cunt.

Also your names misleading!

Really? I thought it was an original song by Megadeth, that was later used as the soundtrack

Apparently it was supposed to be included on their album "Risk".

So yeah, it was probably recorded back in '98-'99. The song is called "Grabbag" by the way.
