Shadow Warrior (PC Games, 1996)

Overall an excellent game, profane puns and grotesque graphics! It is based on the old Build Engine which doesn't work well with XP or Windows 2000. With a few simple downloads and following the intstructions exactly, you can easily play Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, or Shadow Warrior on your PC. Go To http://buildxp.deathmask.net/, read through the web page, follow the instructions, and you're on your way to enjoying this game. Thanks for reading.

Shadow Warrior, often known by its initials SW, is a first-person shooter computer game featuring Lo Wang, a master ninja assassin or "Shadow Warrior", developed by 3D Realms and released on May 13, 1997 by GT Interactive. Shadow Warrior was developed using Ken Silverman's Build engine and improved on 3D Realms' previous Build engine game, Duke Nukem 3D. The game's improvements included introduction of true room-over-room situations, the use of voxels instead of sprites for weapons and usable inventory items, transparent water, climbable ladders, and assorted vehicles to drive (some armed with weapons). Although ultra-violent, the game emphasized tongue-in-cheek humor and contained some sexual themes (although less blatantly than in Duke Nukem 3D).

Two original novels featuring Lo Wang, For Dead Eyes Only and You Only Die Twice, were published in the wake of the game's release.

On April 1, 2005 3D Realms released the source code for Shadow Warrior under the GPL, which resulted in the first source port a day later on April 2, 2005.

Around the release of Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, a number of other quality first person shooters began hitting the shelves. It was a glorious time for the genre. Dark Forces, Blood, Redneck Rampage and this little gem come to mind. Shadow Warrior is a unique first person shooter in that the main character is a ninja commando of sorts and your weapons range from shurikens to heat seeking missiles. There's plenty here to entertain most any old school 3D shooter fan.
