Rise of the Triad Now Cheap on Good Old Games

by Chris Faylor, Mar 03, 2009 9:51am PST

Related Topics – Rise of the Triad: Dark War, Good Old Games, PC

Last week, Good Old Games revealed that it would start selling old Apogee-published games, beginning with Duke Nukem 3D. Today, the online retailer added a second Apogee offering to its storefront--the classic PC shooter Rise of the Triad: Dark War.

Originally conceived as a follow-up to Wolfenstein 3D, the shooter puts players in the HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce) squad, providing a convenient excuse to shoot people and blow things up. The DRM-free download will run you just $5.99.

In addition, GOG also added Enlight's RTS Seven Kingdoms 2 today. It's $5.99 too.

I loved the secret levels in this game.

The jump pad room with all the coins and shrooms was insanity. Also, there was the last secret level that would actually crash the game ... I wonder if that's still in there?

Oh yeah, there were two endings! Awesome stuff.

Just release it for XBL ... I sit on a computer all day at work, I can't make myself do it when I'm at home.

Nice, I hope they get more Apogee games though! I already have the original ROTT CD (which I play on my DOS machine) but I'd love to see Raptor, the original Duke Nukem platformers, and Monster Bash.

Oh man. I believe the first (well, only) time I bought ROTT as a kid was actually via a handwritten letter + check mailed to them. I think the shareware gave you the address for such things. The "letter" though was just mostly a "please find enclosed this money for the full version of ROTT" deal.

That's the only time I ever bought a game like that though.

I always loved this one. At first it was just a better looking shooter, and then:

Boom! "Holy shit, that eyeball just hit the screen!!! Sweet!"

And it only got better from there. Drunk missles, firewall, crazy god mode, shrooms. This game was seriously crazy. And the multiplayer had so so many options!

One of my best memories of this game was opening a door, shooting the firewall, and then re-opening that door just in time to see a charred skeleton collapse right in front of me.

Well, that and dog mode. And God mode. And excalibat.

Oh man I totally have to buy this.
