Status: Partially found
3D Groove was a 3D game engine in the early 2000s. 3D Groove came in the form of 3D Groove SX and 3D Groove GX. In a similar fashion to Java, 3D Groove games could be built to be played in the desktop or in a browser as a .GRV file using 3D Groove GX, or could be developed with Adobe Director to make an Adobe Shockwave Player DCR/DIR/DXR file containing the game, which required the 3D Groove Xtra to be installed, using 3D Groove SX.
While The 3D Groove Alliance, Inc. developed their own original games, their main focus was to develop games to advertise various toys, movies, and cartoons. 3D Groove's Advergames would be developed at the request of a brand, such as Radioshack, At&T, Intel, Pringles, and etc. Most of these games are lost although some are still playable, due to copies being found on old hard drives or CD's, or copies backed up by the Wayback Machine from the now defunct website. 3D Groove was owned by The 3D Groove Alliance, Inc. which in turn was owned by OTOY and JuliesWorld. No 3D Groove games are currently available for purchase. Here is a list of 3D Groove's games and whether they are lost or not.
