William Shatner’s TekWar is the technological future of crap

Being an avid fan of 2.5D ray casting engines, I have a strong fascination with Ken Silverman’s Build Engine, which was the foundation upon which Duke Nukem 3D was built. That somehow led me to William Shatner’s TekWar. Despite Duke Nukem 3D being what made the Build Engine famous, it wasn’t the first game released on it.
