Anyone remember this hilarious game which was developed by 3DRealms? It's very similar to Duke Nukem 3D except that it takes place in China, in which you play as a ninja assassin named Lo Wang.
Even though the game isn't, in my opinion, as good or memorable as DN3D it still is a lot of fun, especially Lo Wang's cocky one-liners.
Despite being released in 1997, it's still possible to play it on recent computers. Do the following.
If you don't already have the full game you don't need to do this first phase.
Go to the 3DRealms website and download the shareware episode here.
Then go here to download JonoF's Shadow Warrior port in order to play the game without any troubles. You need this otherwise the possibility of a failure is high.
Once you've downloaded both, unzip JonoF's port to a folder and name it whatever you want. Then browse the Shadow Warrior shareware demo, unzip everything to a folder, then click on the "INSTALL.EXE" application. Follow the instructions, once you've successfully installed it, which shouldn't take too long, go into the folder you installed Shadow Warrior in. Locate the file named "SW.GRP", it's around 25MB, once you've done that just grab the file and move it over to JonoF's Shadow Warrior folder.
Okay, now you're set. But before you start be sure to FIRST launch the application named "setup.exe" so that you can change the resolution of the game, controls, mouse etc. Once you're finished just click on "Save and Run SW" and the game will launch.
That wasn't so hard, was it? :thumbs:
