Duke Nukems mirrors were actualy just simulated. I used to and still do make
Duke Nukem levels, and to create a mirror you have to have a sector behind
the mirror the same size as the room being mirrored. Basically all Duke does
is copy over all the textures and sprites in reverse and mirrors dukes
movements with a spite too.

Thats all fine and well with sprites, which are 4 polys and 1 vert, the
computer will soon start to die when you start trying it with fully 3D
objects. But then, that said...how else would they do it without rendering
every object a second time? and what about avatar Seqs?
