Sure, you could have ran RotT in a number of sourceports, DOSBox, or even a virtual machine if you were determined, but the experience of getting it up and running on a modern system hasn’t been great.

Nightdive released Ludicrous Edition and it’s finally accessible enough to just launch and play. Includes midi and 2013 soundtracks, all the original episodes, plus one new one, and a couple of qol adjustments in the menus.

    Not very good ones. This project is probably one of the more necessary Nightdive port jobs. I hope it’s good.

      I’ve played it for about two hours, and the only hitch I’ve noticed is the midi ost can stutter. If you swap it for OPL, it’s fine, though.

      Rottexpr almost got it right but still had some quirks and issues and they won’t be fixed since it’s no longer worked on.

      I’ve tried Ludicrous Edition’s demo and it’s amazing, you can rest easy.
