Now if they'd just release Duke Nukem 3D source, we'd be all set.

ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/source/rottsource.zip

I know that Icculus is hoping someone will port it, but a lot of people are busy. I don't know C++ yet, or else I would do it.

But anyhow, just thought I'd inform you all that it's out there.

Update: Looks like they're working on it already: http://cvs.icculus.org/horde/chora/cvs.php?rt=rott

i read on linuxusers about some rise of the triad game that was just resently open sourced.

OMG, REALLY!!!!!!!!????????

I wonder how it compares to ROTT!!!!!!?>?!?!?!!!?>#>!#>?!?%#$

yeah rise of the triads is suposed to be better than rott by like 10 times its suposed to be way better with internet and opengl

Yeah, that was the worst coverup I've ever heard.

Ok.. forgive me for not being unenthusiastic.. but isn't Rise of the Triad a really old game? I mean don't get me wrong.. I like some oldies (early Ultimas and Wasteland is still the best games I played), but isn't ROTT is like the same generation as Doom?

Yes it is. Lots of people still like it, and it's being ported right now by relnev. icculus wants it ported, so it's getting ported.

Those guys rock.

We oughtta be enthusiastic about every game we get to port.
