Description For those fo you that are more technically minded, 3D Realms announced that they have released the source code for Rise of the Triads. Like DOOM, Rise of the Triad is a high quality, fast scrolling first-person perspective 3D action game. Graphics are on par with DOOM. It has destructive enemies and lots of them, an arsenal of weapons from simple pistols to missile launchers, life-preserving armor, traps and ambushes galore, and the ability to play by modem or network. In all, there's a great degree of similarity between the two games. The source is being released under the GPL license, and 3D Realms will retain the copyright on the game i.e. they will still sell Rise of the Triad, but they yielded to public demand and here it is.
The release of the Rise of the Triad Source code is a tribute to, Rise of the Triad programmer William Scarboro, who died tragically back in early August of 2002. In order to download the file, which contains some thoughts by Tom Hall (the game's producer), and Scott Miller (Apogee/3DR CEO/Founder), just follow the download tab above.
