Back when PC shoot-’em-ups were still proving they could match arcades, Raptor: Call of the Shadows landed like a missile. Fast, crunchy, and blessed with explosions that feel almost tactile, it’s the kind of vertical shooter that rewards twitch reflexes and a slightly reckless attitude. The upgrade system lets you turn your fighter into a flying death machine, assuming you survive long enough to afford the good stuff. Every level throws new toys and nastier enemies your way, but the pacing stays generous and addictive. Whether on DOS, Windows XP, or Mac, Raptor remains a blast—pure arcade DNA with a PC swagger.
Computer and Video Games (1994): "Raptor's an excellent 256-colour blaster loaded with power-ups, bosses and just about anything else you could ask for in a game like this. It's simple, but that's what makes it even more addictive."
PC Gamer (1994): "Satisfies the appetite for destruction and looks good doing it. Like all shooters, it gets a bit repetitive after a while. This one's about the best-looking PC shoot-'em up around."
