Shadow Warrior

"Shadow Warrior" is a first-person shooter developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive on May 13, 1997. "Shadow Warrior" was developed using Ken Silverman's Build engine and builds upon 3D Realms' previous Build engine game, "Duke Nukem 3D." Mark Adams ported "Shadow Warrior" to Mac OS in August 1997. Improvements to the game included the introduction of true room-to-room environments, the use of 3D voxels instead of 2D sprites for weapons and usable inventory items, transparent water, climbable ladders, and various vehicles to drive (some of which were equipped with weapons). Although extremely violent, the game emphasized tongue-in-cheek humor and contained some sexual innuendo (albeit less obvious than in Duke Nukem 3D). A combination of Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior was released in March 1998 by GT Interactive under the title East Meets West.
