    I've had an urge to play it lately, probably related to Duke Nukem Forever finally coming out. I have the CD around here somewhere. Does it run all right on WinXP without any tinkering, or do I need some fan made patches to get it running properly? How about 98 compat mode?

    I don't remember playing Shadow Warrior as a kid... I do remember Duke Nukem tho. :D

    I see it's a DOS game. You can try DOSBox. Or this.

    I haven't had good luck with Dosbox with newer dos games designed to work in Win95/98.
