Reading the digitizing bits etc was wuite amusing, like the office chair boddykitted and fitted with staplers for controls! Might mod my work chair over chrimbo if I get bored enough! , so pretty likely then .

Cheers,

Nick

Nope - hasn't arrived yet - has been sent though - so hoping it will arrive before christmas!

Just looked on the 3drealms website, and you can purchase it online for 15US$ - not bad! As I mentioned earlier, I paid a fiver for the full cd off ebay.

I shall let you know when it arrives - cant wait!

s/w version is here:

http://www.classicgaming.com/rott/downloads/

gonna download it and give it a blast!

Seems like over the years, they have released more levels for it!

One thing that did make me laugh was in multiplayer, when you pressed one of the fkeys, it would say "laaa-dee-daaa" was sooo annnoying though!

I installed it last night on an old laptop I had here! I even managed to find mt setup disc's for it too!

Bought back some memorys, but I agree it does look very dated now.

I used DOSBOX to install/unpack the files, but it wouldn't run the game in default config, so used vdms. There was another one that worked too, but it seemed slower.

managed to get it to install, used dosbox and then vdm to run the game.

I see what you mean re: pixels! On my 21" monitor - eeek!! Took a while to get used to the controls as well, used to be really good, but now my fingers are adjusted to half-life keys!

The full version arrived today, and is sitting next to me

ROTT Win32 exe has been released - in my eyes, has made the game far more enjoyable than using the above methods!

Recommended!
