3D Groove (Partially Found Games, Early-Mid 2000s)

3D Groove was a 3D game engine and company that was active between the years of 1998 and 2009, with its peak occurring in the early to mid-2000s. Many 3D Groove games were lost when 3D Groove's site was shut down in 2009. These games could be played online with a web browser plugin, but often there was a full version of the same game which could be purchased and played offline. 3D Groove came in the different forms (3D Groove SX and 3D Groove GX). Similar to Java, 3D Groove games could be built to be played on the desktop/in a browser as a standalone GRV World File using 3D Groove GX, or with Macromedia/Adobe Director to make a Shockwave Player DIR/DXR/DCR archive file containing a GRV World File as a cast member (which required 3D Groove Xtra to be installed) using 3D Groove SX.
