The firstest map: rott1

[grieve[Q2C]]

By request: my firstestest map ever, from april 2002.
When I learned my first steps with the map editor. When I couldn't
even spell "grid" nor knew what it could ever be good for.



Despite all the shortcomings: this is a funny piece of mapping which only a bloody noob could do this way. I've seen megatons of technically more advanced maps which were not quite as entertainig.

What I love about newby maps is when you see something and ask yourself: "what the heck is that suppose to be?"

[Derimok]

Its interesting how new mappers always make big massive rooms for their first map/s , wonder why that is?

Some of those textures look like Rise of the Triad to me .

*EDIT* Now that I read the filename I realize they ARE
Yeah, that game was pretty empty is some areas so I can see what you were thinking back then

I f**king love wikipedia Never played this game though!

[Whirlingdervish]

lol. I probably have a demo of rott somewhere.. (If I can find my Duke3D disc.)
Shareware should be legally downloadable. lmfao!
I'll post a link when I find it so you can soak up some pre-quake2 blood and gore.

[grieve[Q2C]]

shareware and other stuff is still available.
Apogee was pre-3D Realms, and all in all did more convincing stuff than their successor company (basically it's the same with a new name), though Rott was the only game they developed inhouse by themselfes.
The demonic Tom Hall was hired to build up their own development, after he was fired very early from iD software because he had somewhat too advanced ideas of what Doom should become.

At Apogee he had a good team ( called the DIPs) to develop this game, with functionality beyond all Quake games cramped into a pre-Doom engine which is based on Wolfenstein 3D.

Rott has something very bizarre and surreal to it. I liked it a lot.

And: Hall put a lot of the ideas he had actually planned for Doom into this game.

I think Apogee cranked out Raptor:Call of the Shadows too... Possibly my favorite pointless fighter plane mercenary game ever. It was way ahead of its time too, with extra smooth graphix and some of the best midi music I've ever heard.

Here are zipped snapshots of my R.O.T.T. SHAREWARE and Raptor SHAREWARE directories.
they should work if you just unzip them to your c: drive.
They both work well in winxp so no worries about that.
