In many ways ROTT was a game Doomed to failure Just take a look at this mini-timeline:

May 5, 1992 - Wolfenstein 3-D, is released by Apogee.
December 10, 1993 - id unveils Doom. Millions Spooge.
October 10, 1994 "Doomsday" - Doom II: Hell on Earth released (Retail only). Ended up to be the best selling computer game of all time with over 1.6 million copies sold.
December 21,1994 - ROTT 1.0 released.
December 23, 1994 - id released Heretic, developed by Raven Software.

This gives you a general idea of what was going on at the time. No matter HOW good ROTT was, it was going to be lost in a shuffle. It would have to go head on with Doom. Unfortunately (for ROTT), Doom II was an unstoppable force, with thousands of drooling fanatics waiting for hours in line to get it, take it home, and frag till their eyes bled.

The Doom TC is called Return of the Triad and it kicks ass. Recommended. I just wish it was longer and it could be truer to the original in some ways. It was apparently made by the guys who went on to do Amid Evil:

ICARUSLIV3S did a Doom Mod Madness on it:

And there was at some point a project called Re-Return of the Triad that was supposed to make it truer to the original ROTT but doesn't look like it went anywhere:
