i also had the shareware version , i still remember playing this game when i was 9 , too bad i can´t play it anymore because of the operative system( windows 7). The music in this game especially the menu music is the best , very exciting and calm at the same time.
I tried activating the easter egg by changing the clock in my system tray, and by darkening the switch and turning on all the buttons. It didn't work either way. Is this a problem with DosBox or something? How can I fix it?
This so called "Battle Cow Mode" can be activated via two ways (working with the full version and the shareware version as well):
Start the game on a birthday of a programmer (this is why they are singing the apogee theme) or press the keys "S" "1" and "3" in a row in the sector selection screen. But those enemys are very very hard to kill
I don't know what you were trying to do with the switches before you actually got into the action, but I guess you failed miserably considering the lack of anything happening.
when you press all of the switches like that there is extra stuff that appears in the level. sometimes it can be just a lizard, and other times it can be a huge cow shooting very deadly lazers at you.
And a pathetic life at that. He did it the right way if you want to activate -everything-. Yes its normally done on, off, on, blackout the button, but if you do that, you activate all the stuff including the lizards and Battlecows. Its just that now activates at random on all maps for as long as the game's running, instead of only the map you play next.
You only have to press the switch, button one and the button three.. (also "S" "1" and "3" works...) this also happens when you start the game on a programers birthday... this "crazy cow" mode also works with the shareware version
I would just like to say that the only way to beat the Outer Regions in Raptor: Call of the shadow is to get a full complement of phase shields, daul lasers, and pulse wave. Nothing else is strong enough :P
This game is so awesome xDDD i played it when i was a little child and i found it on an old CD a view days ago ^^ The easter Egg here in this video is so old xD i used it also :D its easier then u all think xD
You missed out big time, the dual laser beam shooting thingy? Holy hell, as soon as you got it you could basically take on everything and anything. Not to mention, the rest of Bravo Sector (and to a lesser extent Tango + Outer Reigons) was just epic. Definitely a game I'd love to find the floppy disks for again... *sigh*

@nefiurki -- DosBox is all you need. Raptor runs pretty fine in it.
This game is probably the coolest of its type. What I really enjoy is the way you can destroy almost anything on the ground and leave ruins behind.

except you spent way too much time doing it multiple times the wrong way anyway, wasting 20 seconds of my life.
