Rise of the Triad: Cheats & Secrets


Below are the holiday dates that will run an alternate version of Rise of the Triad. These dates and effects occur when the PC clock is set to the date of the specified holiday. Easter is the only holiday used which falls on a different date every year, though I'm not certain how far into the future the holiday hat effect is designed for Easter Sunday.
Date    Holiday		Effect
----    -------		------
varies  Easter          Lorelei wears bunny ears

5-5     Cinco de Mayo   Ian wears a sombrero

7-4     July 4th        Doug holds an American flag

10-31   Halloween       Thi wears a witch's hat

12-25   Christmas       Taradino wears a Santa hat, Christmas music added

Listed below are the cheats for Rise of the Triad. These will not work in COMM-BAT™ play, and some of the cheats may not work depending on which version of ROTT you are playing.
