DOS version
A classic.
The Good
Wow, almost missed this one :-)
Raptor is indeed a classic shooter, one of a kind so that even now, five years after it came out, people are still measuring shooters against it. It has a smooth engine, delightful graphics (for the time), decent music and hours worth of gameplay, a variety of weapon upgrades for your ship and most importantly - it's damn fun!
The Bad
A bit too repetitive, and doesn't hold a candle to Tyrian - but hey, it came out earlier and is a damn good game in its own right.
The Bottom Line
A great shooter most people find extremely solid and enjoyable.
