Rise of the Triad for Dreamcast

posted in Free ROMs News by deathadder on Mar 1st, 2003

Since no one else here seems to be reporting this truly wonderful news, I'll take the opportunity to give everyone a break from the slew of Mario Bros. hacks ... Bero has done it once again! The loyal Dreamcast supporter / developer has completed the very exciting task of bringing the world's BEST first-person-shooter, RISE OF THE TRIAD, to the Dreamcast! Hurrah, hurrah! The full-featured port is based on the source code (recently released by the generous folks at 3d Realms) and on the Linux port of said source code. For those of you not fortunate enough to have played Rise of the Triad (or "ROTT", for short) while it was in its prime, here is your second chance! The game comes bundled with the original shareware data in convenient NERO or DISCJUGGLER cd-image formats. Simply burn either to your cd-r and play on the DC! Ha ha! Visit the website of Bero for more information + downloads of the free game. The Dreamcast support website known as Boob! also provides a mirror of the game downloads, so check them out if you cannot seem to get the first link to work. Especially handy is the fact that this version supports both the Dreamcast mouse and the Dreamcast keyboard. Double bonus for those of you (like myself) who enjoy playing more with a keyboard than with any other device, or those of you (unlike myself) who want to type in the cheat codes. Don't forget to use the "/LEE" to hear the beautiful soundtrack!
