From what I’ve seen, the main criticism of the 20th Anniversary Edition is that it doesn't include the official expansions found in the Atomic Edition, however, using EDuke32 you can easily add those expansions to the 20th Anniversary version and even run it via Steam.

So, why is the Atomic Edition recommended so heavily if you can simply get the expansions back using EDuke32 and play the new episode on top of that?

I should mention that I’m new to Duke Nukem 3D, so I’m just trying to figure out which version to buy.
