Shadow Warrior  - A large unused promotional poster from 1997. An incredibly rare item.

Shadow Warrior was a PC game developed by 3D Realms, the creators of Duke Nukem. The game was designed to do for Ninja/Kung Fu style action what Duke Nukem had done for the kickass action genre. Full of gore and bad attitude and outrageous sexism. The protagonist's name was Lo Wang...

Measures 28" x 22"/71cm x 56cm. Printed on very thick, high gloss, high quality stock.

An original promotional item from 1997 for video game retailers to promote the big launch of the game.The poster uses the fairly sacrilegious bloody Yin/Yang icon that we created for the print ad campaign at the agency*.

This is probably one of the only few remaining copies of this poster in the world.

This original retail poster is in excellent condition. Stored flat since 1997. It came neatly folded originally and is in really pristine condition. Please see the photos.

Shipped flat in a heavily reinforced mailer.


*In the 1990s I worked at a New York advertising agency called RDA. We only worked for video game and high-end hi-fi clients. I worked on the video games. Our clients were GT Interactive, Infogrames, Atari and Acclaim Games. We made literally hundreds of TV ads and print ads for some of the greatest (and some less great) video and PC games of the 1990s. Duke Nukem. Unreal. Oddworld. Turok Dinosaur Hunter. Blood. Etc. I'm selling a bunch of very rare material from that time. These are not ads and brochures torn out of magazines or that were available to the public. These are special promotional items made mainly for the big annual E3 expo in LA and Atlanta or aimed specifically at video game retailers to get them to order the games in big numbers. The special print ads are printed on heavy stock and look amazing framed. The brochures are all original and really rare items. The 90s was a great time and video game advertising was where all the fun and craziness was happening. Please hit me up if you have any questions about any of these items that I'm selling.
