Apogee Software's classic PC first-person shooter Rise of the Triad is coming to iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad this year thanks to Mobila Interactice.
A full port of the original title for the Apple platforms, Rise of the Triad features the game's original graphics, soundtrack, as well as the 32 levels included in the original. Players can choose from one of five players as part of the H.U.N.T. (High-risk United Nations Task-force), each with his or her own unique characteristics. In a page ripped out of a press sheet from 1994, the game's press release takes great care to let us know that you'll be able to "look both up and down, up to 345 degree, to see what is above and below."
What is above is a video of the game in action; what is below is a gallery of screens. According to Mobila, Rise of the Triad will be available for download "soon."

"Over heeeerrrreeee"
This rocked the LAN parties in the CS department late at night in the labs when I was back in college. We stealth installed it in labs so after we handed in our assignments at midnight we'd play for an hour.
I hate life.
But I'm with RenagadePanda... I'd be much more likely to purchase this if I didn't have to use a touch screen.
Rise of the Triad holds a very special place in my heart. When I was a kid I had a shareware disk that had Rise of the Triad on it. I was too cheap to ever actually buy the game, but I played that first level at least a billion times. The disk also had a badass Rise of the Triad painting on the case.
Oh the nostalgia!
