Looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks of ROTH. I really like the game myself but you need to enjoy all the genres it mashes up I think. I’d fancied replaying it for a while and suggested it a couple of years back on the forums here, then joined in with Adventure Game Club earlier this year when it got chosen there. I really enjoyed going back to it but was definitely in the minority on their Discord. I dug out some preview and review scans for AGC at the time anyway which saves me some scanning for this month:-

Thanks for those scans @Pix!

I haven’t played ROTH before but am looking forward to it! I bought a copy from GOG.com and read other magazine reviews, which can be found on the wiki[1].

Also noteworthy is an unofficial fan site[2] I came across. It provides maps, a walkthrough and other bits of interest. I tip my hat to it’s owners who have kept it online since 2002!

Thanks for the scans. I always enjoy seeing them. I haven’t heard of this game before, and it does not look like one I’d have normally played, but hey, I’ll give it a whirl!

Yeah, I’m definitely mixed on the game but it’s a really interesting experience. I think it goes on for too long but the FPS/adventure game combo is fascinating and I’m surprised there hasn’t been any indie devs that have attempted to make a spiritual sequel with all the other retro looking fps we’ve seen over the last few years.
