Our second ever Game of the Month is Raptor: Call of the Shadows (1994 Classic Version)!

I recused myself from voting this time around, which inadvertently led to a six-way tie. So I put all of the nominees into the Wheel of Names and gave it a spin, and Raptor came out on top.

It’s currently available on Steam and ZOOM Platform for US$4.99, or free to play over at archive.org, where it is described as a

futuristic arcade shooter where you take on a number of increasingly difficult missions culminating in a boss level. Lots of enemy types, and a vast array of weapons you can buy to help you smash air & ground targets.

Looking forward to giving this one a try! Post your scores! Grind those 1cc’s! Share your tips and tricks!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I hear those shadows callin’…

    are we posting scores on this thread or is there another post?

    EDIT: i guess it’s not scored like a traditional arcade game, so i’m not sure what to post or how to 1cc it?

      Looking at the structure of the game, I’d say a 1cc would be beating all of the missions without dying… so kind of a segmented 1cc?

      Person with the most no-death stages wins?

      (… maybe we don’t award medals this month 😅 )

    Woo! I played a bunch of this one in the '90s but you all will find it too easy, even on hard mode, I bet. But the sidebar said all levels welcome, so here we are :)

      i found this to be incredibly difficult and i can’t get past the first mission (bravo whatever) on normal difficulty.
