Is ROTT abandonware? If so, someone needs to remake it in Source or a real 3d engine.
I absolutely love ROTT, I actually set up a DosBox last summer to run through it again (then my senior year of college started and games kinda went by the wayside).
ROTT makes me think of all the great games I grew up playing - Duke3D, Blake Stone, Doom, Half-Life, Shadow Warrior, Realms of Chaos, etc. Come to think of it, most of those are 3DRealms and Apogee haha 
I don’t know how I feel about a ROTT port - one part of me says, “Yeah, bring it back to life, make it modern!” but another says, “Leave it in the past, enjoy it for what it is - a great FPS from the 90s with fun gameplay”.
nostalgia
Wasn’t it one of the first FPS to have dual-wielding?
If you’re asking whether or not the game permitted dual-wielding, the answer is yes - you could select using 1 or 2 pistols (and it didn’t require you to drop one; you just pressed 1 for 1 and, surprisingly, 2 for 2).
If you know for a fact that you could dual-wield, but are questioning whether ROTT pioneered this feature, then I’m not sure 
.
rhetorical question.
