The game’s data file is also compatible with “ GZDoom” and I eventually ended up using this after my anti-virus program flashed an ominous-looking warning on the screen when I tried to use the standalone executable for the second time.Īnyway, let’s take a look at “Return Of The Triad”: Although the game launches from a standalone executable, it requires a copy of the “ZDoom” source port to run. Once I find that Ill be able to use the source port and play in Windows 7. “Return Of The Triad” is a standalone game in the style of “Rise Of The Triad” that relies on the ever-versatile open source goodness of the “Doom” engine. So, Ill have to run the install on an old DOS machine with a cd drive. In fact, expect a review of the original game sometime within the next week.Īnyway, whilst I was forlornly looking at a page of source ports for ROTT, I spotted a link to an interesting project called “ Return Of The Triad“. So, I’ll probably have to re-buy this game on GoG soon. I really love these old games but some of them still dont have the source code released so we cant really make mods and such.

The day before I wrote this review, I went searching for my old copy of ROTT – only to remember that I’d given it away to a charity shop during a clearout quite a while ago. Does anyone know of any good source ports for RotT Im not sure if the source code has ever been released and if has not been released by now then will there ever be a remaster so we can have a slightly more updated Rott game. Although I played “Rise Of The Triad” a couple of times when I was a kid, it was one of those glorious 1990s sprite-based FPS games that I unfortunately never really played properly.Īt one point in my late teens or early twenties, I bought a budget CD copy of “Rise Of The Triad” – only to find that it was too old to run on my computer ( this was, unfortunately, before I really understood what source ports were).
