"Originally developed as an expansion to Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad was released as a stand alone game by Apogee Software after id Software pulled the plug on the expansion project. Despite using the Wolfenstein 3D engine, it was a watershed game and is responsible for a series of improvements to the genre, including simulated dynamic lighting, partially destructible objects, and level-over-level environments. This last point helped to push the genre forward in terms of level design. Gaming has moved on from that time. First person shooters today are more complex than ever, featuring advanced AI, improved hit detection, and drool worthy visuals that make the early 90s games look like they were from the stone age. And going back to play those original standard bearers is actually quite difficult to do these days. Yet Interceptor Entertainment asks us to do just that with its modern day remake of Apogee Softwares Rise of the Triad."
