    Things I remember from this game: you fight scumbag inc. on behalf of douchebag inc., inter-stage shopping and wishing you could afford the twin blue lasers, 1-1 stage theme

    Does anybody have pointers how to compile it? The readme is a little lacking…

      It’s just a source release, not even a Linux port done yet. It should be possible to build it for DOS and run it in dosbox but I don’t know the tools required for that.

        For what it’s worth, that same github user already reverse-engineered the game : https://github.com/skynettx/raptor and this one should be able to compile on modern platforms.

        There is probably a story behind the source release, I wonder what it is…

          I’d like to know, too. I just played a bit of the reverse-engineered demo again (never had the full version as a kid, either) and it’s still a fun game.

    Can still hear the bullet sounds, like shooting tin cans.

    Me and my childhood best friend used to play this all the time when we had the Apogee Game Collection. So many great memories.

    This makes me beyond happy
