Before parents complained about games like GTA.. there was Duke Nukem. I wish more FPS let you stick money in the gstrings of strippers.
You remember that ninja game 3D Realms did about that same time? Talk about offensive.
Yeah, "Shadow Warrior". Of course, some of the humor was extremely childish too. They managed to tick off anyone of Asian descent AND women at the same time. Oh, and anyone who took martial arts seriously. Heck, they named the hero "Lo Wang" for Pete's sake.
Since it was based on the Duke3D engine, it got old really quickly and 3DRealms didn't get a lot of sales from it. It was in the bargain bin inside of two months of release if I remember correctly. It had a few funny moments and the first level was decent, but that was about it...and Duke had much more going for it on the multiplayer front, so it lasted longer. Can you say "laser trip mines", "shrink ray" and "freeze gun"?
