This game was fuking hectic, the only thing that shat me about it was that you had to use the mouse to control the ship, normally for games like this, i prefered using keyboard.
Before starting each of these two Waves, if you go to the bottom of the sector selection screen where the three buttons with the weird letters are at, click that switch to the left of them, then click those three buttons, then click that switch again. Then start the mission and you should hear an electrical sound. You will BE ATTACKED BY COCONUT-THROWING CHIMPANZEES on those missions. I kid you not.
Hah, got this game yesterday for $5.99 from GOG. Long overdue purchase, and fully compatible with Windows 7 64bit too :]
They also gave me Tyrian2000 for just registering. Pretty damn nice of them. Using gamepad in both of these is a blast!
Downloading from torrents sites is for disrespectful noobs. This game is not abandonware, you can even buy it from the company's site (DOS version tho).
Pretty decent shoot 'em up. But not really up there with either the console classics in the genre, or Tyrian, also for the PC. (Although I do seem to recall Tyrian came along later.)
I always loved this game. And the music was awesome.
Also to those of you asking for a download, torrent it. Vuze and Limewire have convinent Search bars, I use Vuze, I typed in "Raptor Call of the Shadows" and I got a lot of results.
You are really great at this game, but next time when you play this try selecting elite becaue you are hard core you know, I used to playthis on veteran but I keep getting damages omr the damn ships how do I avoid them
In theory, you could ditch your wave 1 AAMs for a Plasma Cannon or Micro Missiles (the passive weaps that stack with your basic machine gun under the bigger weapons), given enough skill at minimising repair costs, which works just fine for maximising your basic firepower.
tha greatest game of its time along with wolfenstein 3D. but... therz one thing i dnt get... why is it that u are the only person of the whole squadron/air force fighting a defence of hundreds maybe thousands?

Not a bad game though.

I think you should have put the music volume up and and the sound effects volume WAY lower.

I downloaded it a while ago. It works but you need DosBox to have the sound working.
Gurra88 2 years ago
How many cycles do you need to set DOSbox on for the game to get the proper speed?

@Trapster2
I don't know, sorry. Only used Doxbox once or twice, never saw any cycles thing.

Some months back, I tried playing Wave 1 of Bravo Sector on Elite from scratch. It wasn't easy.
Air/Air Missiles aren't very strong, but they do their job well...unless if you're in a minefield, in which case you are screwed.

Presumably you are a lone-wolf merc who works best alone. (as is always the case in many top-scrolling shmups)
