Sure, you could have ran RotT in a number of sourceports, DOSBox, or even a virtual machine if you were determined, but the experience of getting it up and running on a modern system hasn't been great.

Nightdive released Ludicrous Edition and it's finally accessible enough to just launch and play. Includes midi and 2013 soundtracks, all the original episodes, plus one new one, and a couple of qol adjustments in the menus.

In addition to existing source ports not being very good, the DOSbox experience wasn't great. Mouse feels a bit sluggish even if you make it super sensitive, getting Gravis music to work is a pain in the ass and super low resolution.

So the remaster, unlike most other remasters in my opinion, is a very welcome modern release.
