It's the easest game in the world finished it in elite level for about 6 times!!! :not_ok: The only great thing in this game is the grafics!!! :rifle:

I nearly cried when I *cough*acquired*cough* this game. The shareware version was the greatest game ever back when I got it. I simply loved the sounds, music, weapons, enemies... well everything. It really brings back memories of my old 486.

The screenshots looks good but the levels are monotonous. If you like top-down shooters for DOS try Tyrian 2000 with parallax-scrolling.
If you like side-scrolling shooters like the classics R-Type or Katakis try Stargunner (absolutely superb).

I like the graphics too but thers is more to like about this game. I love the wepon system and the fact that its a bit more that just line up and shoot.
But that just my opinion :whistle:

The weapon-system in Stargunner is very great too. You can buy different weapons, shields, satelites etc. like in Raptor.
But Stargunner has also cool smooth 3D-animations (rotating ships) and tripple parallax-scrolling.
Also in Tyrian your ship is upgradable and has tripple parallax-scrolling and a cool water-/lava-animation in some levels (waves,waterfalls).
Raptor has only a simple scrolling without such ship- and background-animations.

it played it before and i recomend buyng it

Another plenty-money-save-game-patch cheat!:

The easter egg in this one :
Change the date of your computer to May 16, then run the game.
Listen carefully during the intro.

Or :
Before starting the game, type
SET S_HOST = CASTLE
for God mode.

Or :
On the bottom of the screen where you select your missions is
a toggle and 3 pushbuttons.
Press the toggle a few times, the push button 1 and 3.
This adds extra characters. Ever seen laser-cows ?

Or :
Startup RAP RECORD DEMO or RAP PLAY DEMO to record
or play your own demo. (Some versions)

Skip level any time:

When you are in god mode by writing the command line
SET S_HOST=CASTLE
tHE DURING GAME IF YOUR SHIELD COMPLETELY DESTROY AND FIRE FUMES
START COMING OUT FROM THE AIRCRAFT AT THAT MOMENT PREE "BACKSPACE"
BUTTON YOUR SHIELD WILL RECOVER BUT AHT HAPPENED IS THAT YOUR LEVEL
WILL ALSO CLEARS...
!CAUTION! BUT WHEN YOU CAME BACK TO YOUR POST YOU WILL HAVE NO MONEY
LEFT DUE TO CHEAT....NO PROBLEM

Cheat if you want to.

Once i was the cheatmeister, But now I am just the helper :)

There's a side effect of using the "BACKSPACE" cheat code... because you will lose your score - it will be reset to zero.

Score is used to buy new weapons... though by pressing BACKSPACE a few times, you can make big money by selling your extra uber lasers once back in base... so it is actually no trouble at all. But if your target is to put your name in the high scores list, this cheat is only good for the first mission.

I remember my sisters played the game with a heavy battery on the BACKSPACE button...

Loved this game, another one I played lots and lots of the shareware version. Very satisfying buying those new guns.

Lovely game, this. I was fortunate enough to grab a copy of it from a discount bin (Lord knows how long that had been in there) for a single euro.
