Games made with the 3D Realms Build engine

The Build engine is a game engine that was developed by Ken Silverman in the early 1990s. It is known for being the engine used in several popular first-person shooter (FPS) games from that era. The Build engine powered games that featured a combination of 2D sprites for characters and objects and 3D environments.
One of the most notable games that used the Build engine is Duke Nukem 3D, released in 1996. Duke Nukem 3D was a groundbreaking game at the time, featuring interactive environments, multiplayer capabilities, and a humorous and irreverent tone. The Build engine also powered other games like Shadow Warrior and Blood.
