Give me a Rise of the Triad-style shoot 'em up, a Rise of the Dragon-style visual adventure, a rhythm game, a couple platformers, a Carmen Sandiego game about jazz history, and some kind of Obra Dinn thing where you try to figure out what happened to a vampirized town.
unlabelledView post →Originally a My Little Pony x Rise Of The Triad game. Now de-ponied... but still pretty RoTT style. Game's cool and silly.
unlabelledView post →This game also started out as a My Little Pony meets Rise Of The Triad project. It is post-cringe media and that's rad.
unlabelledView post →Rise of the Triad has a really lovingly done remaster and its just never been a very good game. It might actually have a legacy if it came out 3 months before DOOM.
unlabelledView post →Y'know what game is awesome Rise of the Triad
unlabelledView post →Rise of the Triad is a Christmas game.
unlabelledView post →The inspiration behind Val'ty game: Jump Pads > Rise of The Triad Teleportation sphere > Turok 3 Secret keys (not in demo) > Turok 2 Sniper Mode > MDK Level Design > Turok and Chasm the Rift Sidekick > Daikatana Machine Gun > MDK and Kiss Psycho Circus Main Menu > Playstation demo discs
unlabelledView post →30 years ago (21 Dec 1994) I uploaded the original shareware episode of Rise of the Triad to the Software Creations BBS and the HUNT began! That game remains one of the fondest of my time at Apogee - so much fun to make and put out. Loved the 2013 remake & the 2023 re-release. RIP William Scarboro!
unlabelledView post →After a stressful Next Fest, I've decided to take a one-week break from working on Enigma Heart, and cobble together a prototype of my next game, Acronia. Based on an old DOS prototype/demo of mine, it's a side-scrolling run 'n' gun inspired by Contra, Bio Menace, Rise of the Triad, Commander Keen.

unlabelledView post →Not that the game really deserves it, but I designed a more comfortable controller layout for the 2013 Rise of the Triad. If you want to try it out, let me know how it is.
unlabelledView post →Fuck Harry Potter go play like. ANY New Blood game. even Rise of the Triad Ludicrous Edition. that is like the most insane rerelease of one of these classic fpses i have heard of, it literally. they got picture scans from 1994 and before to restore alternate enemies..
unlabelledView post →A very happy birthday to @thattomhall.bsky.social Known for working on Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad, and voicing Walton Simons in Deus Ex. And a little game called Anachronox. Much love from a Norwegian retro rat!
unlabelledView post →Every time I remember Rise of the Triad I get a headache Doom came out a year and two months before this game. All walls are at 90 degree angles. Levels are 100% flat. This is compensated for by thousands of floating platforms - your only means of gaining altitude - which are fucking everywhere

unlabelledView post →Like many pre-Quake games with peer-to-peer netcode, Rise of the Triad won't start a multiplayer game until all of the players have connected. Unlike many pre-Quake games with peer-to-peer netcode, Rise of the Triad gets very impatient if someone takes their time to connect, and starts riffing.

We're excited to announce that we've partnered with legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment (Duke Nukem, Rise of the Triad, Turbo Overkill) to make the best game possible. 🧙♂️Entering Early Acces on November 15th🧙♂️ 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeTO...
unlabelledView post →Showing my age here, but probably would have to say my origin game that inspired my love of computer games was the OG, Pong. Then at the arcade, Space Invaders and Galaga. And then on PC, with FPS probably Rise of the Triad followed shortly after by Quake (which is the one I'd consider 'my' game).
unlabelledView post →... there's also the issue of me not paying a ton of attention to source ports. As one of the OG people I was far more focused on the original game. Having said that I've fallen in love with the Ludicrous Edition of Rise of the Triad. I adore what they've done with that one.

unlabelledView post →Just caught up on this weeks @retronauts.bsky.social all about Doom Clones. I gave an audible yelp of joy when @stuartgipp.bsky.social talked about the “hot mess” of the game which is Rise of the Triad. A game even my wife remembers from so long ago. Another joyous episode!
unlabelledView post →glad to hear Rise of the Triad is getting a coat of polish by Nightdive. that game had one of the hardest soundtracks
unlabelledView post →And it was an absolute majestic trip down and through memory lane and childhood avenue! Games like Death Rally, Commander Keen, Trivia games and more! Mmh, good times! Especially Death Rally & RISE OF THE TRIAD: Dark War! #RetroGaming #Retro #VideoGameClassics #ApogeeSoftware
unlabelledView post →Y'all have no idea what this game means to me, next to Max Payne and Rise of the Triad this is in my fucking DNA as a human being. This was my Doom, this was my Half-Life.
unlabelledView post →Warframe Ideas for 2026 and beyond! cc @rebbford.bsky.social @pabloalonso.bsky.social @moitoi.bsky.social - Let us play as a Kubrow (dog mode from Rise of the Triad) - Let us fly around the credits sequence (Rez Infinite) - Grendel ball form pinball mini game (Epic Pinball!?) ty all <3
unlabelledView post →This is making me think about how cool it'd be to see a new game following along the tradition of 90s Rise of the Triad wrt having lots of randomly generated odd pickups and jump pads everywhere.
unlabelledView post →Rise of the Triad was actually my favourite game in the genre back then. I played it a lot and still remember some of it vividly. It was revolutionary and so fun! I never knew anyone else who played it, if not for seeing it in magazines I would think I was the only one!
unlabelledView post →For this year's Christmas game haul, it's Quake II, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, MetaPhysical, Dread Templar, Cultic, Project Warlock II, Turbo Overkill, and threw in the Selaco demo, too, while I was at it.
unlabelledView post →That's too familiar! I bought the full copy of Rise of the Triad for similar reasons which was the first game I had come across that let you select such characters and which actually made a difference.
unlabelledView post →And if you tried to play Rise of the Triad at the smallest screen size the game just told you to buy a 486
unlabelledView post →So it appears we have lost Bobby Prince, the legend music composer who gave us Doom, Quake, Rise of the Triad, Duke Nukem and many other older school game soundtracks. The man who gave us E1M1 “At Doom’s Gate” and many other iconic tracks. This is a sad day for the world of game music.

unlabelledView post →I feel like Rise of the Triad modding would be much more of a thing if Ludicrous Edition let you use custom textures cuz this game is butt ugly
unlabelledView post →Good evening 🚶♂️ I'm about to come down these actual steps with my new fit to start era 2.5.

unlabelledView post →There's another explosion sprite that's very similar and used often but I can't seem to find where it came from. It appears in MegaRace (DOS), Rise of the Triad, Microcosm (3DO port) and the arcade game Space Lords. Don't recall finding any match on Pond5 or other stock libraries, maybe I missed it.
unlabelledView post →I want to say Happy 30th anniversary to both Rise Of The Triad and Marathon. They are both really awesome retro games. Likely I will be playing Marathon aleph one multiplayer tonight on steam with some people. Which game is your favorite by the way? : )
unlabelledView post →This weekend kind of drained me, so no stream Monday. Tuesday will be more of Apogee's Rise Of The Triad. On Wednesday we start this year's second Christmas game, Requiem: Avenging Angel! I've never heard anyone talk about this game, not even Civvie! Hope to see you there! #vtuber #boomershooter

unlabelledView post →When I worked at Apogee, I always used to say I worked "at a game company", but wasn't a developer. With one exception - I was a mapper for Rise of the Triad and it's add on pack back in the mid 90's. I did other things like upload shareware, master CD's for duplication, write tech documentation.
unlabelledView post →It's Wednesday, my A/C's out (again) but it's not stopping this stream, dammit! Extreme Rise of the Triad is a brutal followup to the original RoTT. To no surprise, I speedrun it. Let's derust this, shall we? twitch.tv/tbcr_ #vtuber #envtuber #goinglive #tbcronline #vsky
unlabelledView post →Oh yeah. I think Rise of the Triad even had a joke in the game if you tried to run it on a weaker CPU, and reduced the screen size to make it run better, you'd see the message "Get a 486"
unlabelledView post →Andrew Hulshult is one of my favorite video game composers. Check out his Dusk, Doom Eternal, and his remixes of Rise of the Triad music for more greatness.
unlabelledView post →Just booted up Rise of the Triad 2013 for the first time in years to see if it holds up at all. The game crashed when i picked up a power up on the first level. Yeah we are so back
unlabelledView post →Catechumen is fun because the physics are tied to the game's (incredibly low by first-person game standards) intended framerate, but there's also no framerate cap. As a result, playing it on a modern PC feels like Rise of the Triad on crack.
unlabelledView post →Tom Hall's "Doom Bible", which laid out the original plan for the game, included several playable characters, one of them was a woman, he later repurposed a lot of these ideas when he left id and made Rise of the Triad for Apogee.
