Shadow Warrior Classic Complete
released on May 13, 1997
Lo Wang. The very name strikes fear in fortune cookie-eating Mafia men and small children everywhere. He is the reason most ninja wannabees have sold off their combat sandals to the local pawn shop. Lo Wang is Shadow Warrior. #1 Assassin. #1 Yakuza abuser. #1 Freak fragger. #1 Mutant mutilator. #1 Reason to be scared of the dark. Enter the Land of the Rising Sun and spread ninja charisma like napalm for there are undead sumos to be uzied, samurai to be shurikened, and bulldozers to be boarded. Don’t forget to goose the geishas and make sure your dinghy isn’t hanging out...

Not content to rest on the usual Build Engine laurels of frustrating overreliance on overly aggressive hitscan enemies and extremely jank psuedo-naturalistic level design, Shadow Warrior felt the need to be RACIST AS HELL too

It's Duke Nukem 3D, but with different weapons, enemies and levels, also Duke is a ninja now. Overall this is one of the most advanced build engine games ever, there are vehicles, turrets, underwater levels, multiple fire modes for weapons and it doesn't feel all that different to play compared to a modern shooter (for a build engine game anyway).
It runs great on DOSBox and is free, at first I just wanted to play this for a bit to see if I would like the redux version but I ended up beating it instead because it's that good.
