Holy shit, reading that name unlocked some very old memories!
Wow, this game was incredible! Apogee did a tonne of great work, but this may have been my favourite. The music and intro cutscene especially stand out in my mind.
Hell yeah, raptor is great.
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...
Can still hear the bullet sounds, like shooting tin cans.
Whoohoo, this game was my jam when I was a kid.
