Description

ROTT is a port of Apogee's 3D action title Rise of the Triad, originally released in 1994. This port duplicates the functionality of the original game on modern operating systems, including Linux, Win32, and Mac OS X.

The rott-shareware and rott-commercial binaries start the Shareware Version and Commercial Version (including the CD Version and the Site License CD Version ) of the game, respectively. The rott binary is a symbolic link to one of these and is handled via Debian's update-alternatives mechanism.
