💖 ROTT(6) — okay bestie, sit DOWN 💖

Hi hi hiii, welcome to ROTT(6), section 6 of the manual, and honestly? Iconic behavior from 1994 that we are still stanning. Grab a snack, this is gonna be good. 🍓✨

✨ NAME ✨

rott-registered — Rise of the Triad. That's the whole name. Short. Sweet. Main character. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rott-registered [options]

Yeah that's it. Just the binary and then you start throwing options at it like confetti. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So ROTT is a port of Apogee's 3D action title Rise of the Triad, which originally dropped all the way back in 1994. This port literally duplicates the functionality of the original game but on modern operating systems, including Linux, Win32, and Mac OS X. No cap. Your fave is playable again and she did NOT age a day. 👑
