Today marks the 16th birthday of the shareware release of Rise of the Triad.

It was on this fine day back in 1994 that The Developes of Incredible Power finally let their baby drop. And what a fine figure this baby has grown up to be!

Happy birthday you ROTTer!!

To celebrate the ROTT Forum has announced it's nomination time for the annual ROTT awards known as The Rancids. There's also a fanfic/fanpic competition with a real collectible Rise of the Triad prize!

The forum can be found here: http://rott.s4.bizhat.com/

So, come over and help us celebrate the lovely ROTT coming of age. :)

I wish GoG had included the shareware version as a bonus feature. It was one of the only games I can think of that featured an entirely different episode for shareware that wasn't included in the retail version.

^ Just in case you didn't already know, you can still get it freely from [url=ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/share/1rott13.zip]Apogee's FTP[/url]. It's definitely worth a playthrough, even if you own the full version.

Thanks, Pim! I haven't played it since my BBS days! :)
