I ahven't noticed any mentions of there here, so I thought this might be of interest. Some time ago I've stumbled upon an impressive collection of video walkthroughs for all levels of Rise of the Triad (shareware episode and Extreme Rise of the Triad included, plus a few extras):

All videos are supplied with interesting and witty comments, listening to which makes a great entertainment in itself, apart from the walkthroughs that are rather detailed and in most cases cover all of the secret areas within a particular level. These videos are probably the number one source of in-depth information about the game alongside with the official FAQ. Apparently, the guy who did these videos is a prominent member of Something Awful.

As an undeniable confirmation of quality of this video collection, Joe Siegler himself gave it his delighted approval.

Another thing definitely worth watching too is this video review of the game, which is part of the Era Game Reviews.

That's odd, I just came across his ERotT review yesterday.
It's funny that Joe Siegler's reaction to that video is so enthusiastic, considering that this PSA fellow makes mincemeat out of the add-on.

Heh, I guess this is one of the reasons:

Joe Siegler said:

I LOVE THESE. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the fact that I was one of the mappers on the project, and him swearing at things I did in the maps is bloody hysterical!

Also, these reviews are probably one of the most comprehensive sources about ROTT available on the net, they're very well done, and fun to watch

And even though PsychedelicSA pans the add-on, the fact that he had played through the whole game (including the shareware version, the extended shareware version and the add-on) and found it worthy of the extensive reviews he did is a compliment to all who made the game, and to the game itself :wub:
