Rise of the Triad

[snik]

Anyone remember this game? I found a box from it. I have an urgency to play it now.

 

[Taggart]

Hell yeah that was a GREAT game. I loved all the blood and gore...kinda tame by today's standards, but over the top for the time. The graphics were awesome too

I think Duke3D's engine was based off the ROTT engine.

Talk about memories... I remember going over to my friend's house to play 2v2

 

[snik]

Remember the gore? I loved those flying eyeballs when you blow up the enemy.

Edit - Has it been classified as "abandonware" yet? If so, I could host it.

[Jugernot]

Heh, yah I remember playing the shareware demo with a friend over dialup.

 

[illusion88]

Remember the hand of god? OH! Best ever. That game was to much.

Host it M4H. I have a box but no CD

 

[LordJezo]

Heh.. first PC game I ever bought with my own money.

Playing it over dialup with my friend across town was the best!

Anyone remember the trampoline levels? Jousting across a map with those crazy trampolines shooting missles at each other as you fly by the other guy in the air was awesome...

Sometimes you would die when a heat seeking missle was coming towards you and when you respawned the missle would just be spinning in circles when you died.

Is it abandonware? If so, I'll give it to everyone and we can rev up a virtual LAN game.

I'm sitting here staring at the cd case. I used to play this all the time. I could never beat it, so I just put it on god mode and beat the whole game in like an hour or so. It's kinda funny. "20 Mb of graphics and sound" "Unmatched realism - scenery with parallaxing skies, fog, and other never before seen effects like lightning!" So, hope you all have your IBM or 100% compatible 386 DX-40 or better computer with 4 Mb RAM ready to play!!
