}In 1997, some time after Shadow Warrior was released, a company called
}Sunstorm produced an add-on for it called "Wanton Destruction." It was
}completed, but the distributor, for one reason or another, decided to shelve
}the project. Later, Sunstorm went out of business, and Wanton Destruction
}got lost in the shuffle. The folks at 3D Realms, who never had a copy of
}it, tried to locate it a few times over the years, but they met no success
}and gave up. The project was thought lost for good.
}
}But on September 5, 2005, 3D Realms received an email out of the blue from
}Anthony Campiti, the former president of Sunstorm. He had run across a CD
}called "Add-on Archive 1," which, much to his surprised, contained a complete
}copy of the finished Wanton Destruction add-on. Three days later, 3D Realms
}had the add-on in its hands and released it to the Internet the next day as a
}free download. To mark the occasion, 3D Realms reduced the price of Shadow
}Warrior from $19.95 to $10.00.
