The Manual

ROTT has a really spiffy looking manual (which unfortunately doesn't scan too well, I apologize for the quality). It has a lot of neato pictures (even of things that didn't make it into the game), so it's worth checking out.

Pictures From The CD

The ROTT CD has a "goodies" folder with some interesting stuff. There is a "bmps" folder, full of various game artwork and textures, RandRott, a Random Level Generator, RTS Maker, a tool for creating RTS (Remote Ridicule) files, and a "wavs" dir full of all the game sounds (including some that didnt' make the cut, worth checking out). However, the weirdest thing is the "pictures" CD, which features various pictures of The Developers of Incredible Power in action (or lack of thereof). This is a complete listing of those pictures, with captions so you can tell who the hell is in the pic (thanks to Joe Siegler for the help!).

  • Robert Atkins (manual designer) at desk
  • Mark Dochtermann (programmer) & others
  • If you're wondering what the hell they're doing in the above pic, Joe Siegler explains: "It's Mark Dochtermann setting off a water rocket the night that we released ROTT 1.0 Shareware. We had a power failure in the building, and while we waited, we were doing stupid things like setting off water rockets inside the building. :)"

  • Chuck Jones (artist) and his girlfriend
  • Group Shot: From Left to Right: Tom Hall (lead designer, producer), Mark Dochtermann, Nolan Martin (programmer), & William Scarboro (programmer). And yes, that's the real Excalibat

  • Tom Hall, down on the farm. Ahuck.
  • Some Old Dude, George Broussard, Tom Hall
  • "That's not just some "old dude". That's David Gerrold, the guy who wrote the Tribbles episode for Star Trek." (Joe Siegler)

  • Some guys in the hallway, apparently checking how much paper the printer has left
  • That was a printout of all the graphics/sound files used in ROTT stretched out in the hallway. :) (Joe Siegler)
