c: cd raptor raptor so much memories... my first videogame on pc, at 7 years old.

[@nonnaida]

+Ko2i4s Quit Y cd.. cd..

[@ko2i4s68]

[@E5rael]

I had the extra step of "cd games" before "cd raptor" xD (or to be exact, "cd pelit" since I'm Finnish.)

[@vincentchang2259]

I'm use cd raptor rap

[@burzum8312]

This game deserves to be made into a 1080p version with a 100 levels and full blown animated weapons buying and installation, various flying back to the hangar scenes and like a demo for all weapoms before buying. I would buy it for $40.

[@giuseppearcieri1944]

but still in pixel art

[@FeelingShred]

people miss what made these games so special... exactly the lack of 60 FPS... ok I can get 1080p, the same treatment as... let's say Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters... that treatment... but besides that, "60 FPS" is not a solution to everything... for all I know, 60 FPS makes some games look corny and cheesy... some games look better at 20/24 FPS than others do at 60 FPS (look at Metal Gear games running at 20 FPS most of the time, Tomb Raider games, etc)

[@FeelingShred]

another thing that made older games special: ability to quicksave-quickload restore to previous saved points at will... it greatly increased the player's desire to experiment different tactics without the fear of perpetually ruining the savefile and having to start over again... modern game design fucking sucks

[@MrRiley1000]

I like it just the way it is.

[@H31MU7]

2:49 So much yes

[@Resegy]

My inner child thanks you so much for updating this. Best retro ost ever.

[@ComandanteJ]

The memories... THE MEMORIES! PLEASE STOP THIS NOSTALGIA!!!!

[@GreyFieldVEVO]

Install it on Dos Box :). I did this.

[@ComandanteJ]

Haha, yeah man, i did, i fact i have it installed in my smarthphone and some games play pretty well, actually, i just hook up my X360 controller and games like Raptor, Doom, etc ply well enough.

[@Ragitsu]

"Wave Music 2" is where it's at; I never grow tired of that track.

[@patrickyork3253]

2 is good but I like 6 better myself. It's less minimalistic than wave 2.

[@Ragitsu]

@@patrickyork3253 I'm happy at either end of the spectrum, be it minimalist or complex.

I'm from 1990, i played this for the first time in 95 sitting on my father's knees. Now i'm almost 30 yrs old and my dad passed away, every time i hear Raptor OST i think about old good times. This game will always be in my Heart. Greetings from Italy guys 👋👋👋

[@DisasterxUs]

Saaaaame

[@ugottalongway2go]

2:50 - 4:16 always gets me so hyped :D

[@Killerkolt75]

2:49 is def the best part

[@CMDRSweeper]

@Vinny Santorini ;] I am 6 years late, but I agree with op... Wave 1 is just the most epic of them all, probably because of the shareware version and the amount of times you played wave 1 (Grinding the AA missile pickup)

[@Makku293]

I was raised by this videogame, I have a lot of beautiful memories.

[@Sleepy1988]

This is one of the soundtracks to my childhood, and one of the very earliest games I played. I got the demo off of AOL around 1995-1996. I had already developed an obsession with airplanes and fighters before, but this certainly helped me along. I also got demos for games like the original Warcraft and Command and Conquer off of AOL.

[@FeelingShred]

greatest Airplanes I've ever seen in a game are the World War 1 planes in the game Flying Corps (Rowan Software) kinda competitor to Red Baron game but with more details in the missions and more customization compared to Red Baron

[@FeelingShred]

WW1 planes are fucking gorgeous to look at

[@starchmonkey]

I literally haven't played this game in 20 years, never even watched a KZbin playthrough on it or anything, and the music in this game is still stuck in my head everyday all these years later. Especially Wave 1.

[@27actanonverba]

I had a shareware disc with this, Rise of the Triad, Whacky Wheels, Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem 2. They don't make games like they use to.

[@nikelas6]

Have a similar cd with those games and Heretic. Still keeping it till today.

[@normanpaschke7382]

7:13 pure awesomness!

[@deiu9999]

Back when we were not the only ones captivated by these games but also our fathers usually couldn't wait until the computer was free for them to play...

[@FeelingShred]

office suite during the day, hardcore gaming at night hours 🤣🤣let me tell ya, for such an evil satanist pig Bill Gates has become recently, he has provided plenty of beautiful family memories inside people's homes... humans are such a mystery, it's such a dichotomy, both sides good and evil exist in the same person

[@eurogryphon]

I remember playing this 30 years ago on my old IBM PS/1.

[@Yojimbo711]

Soooo old, those were the days :D Excellent music for its time! Hangar theme has always been stuck in my head since.

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

Waver Music 4 of the game Raptor is the one tune stuck in my head for over 20+ years. I finally remember where it came from!

[@moussetache1815]

That Hangar theme... I'm crying

[@jowston100]

Dat Hangar theme. You knew shit was about to get serious.

[@bronsonperich9430]

This is one of the greatest OST's ever made.

[@strelitziapete9071]

This game had some of the best video game music ever

[@xFishNinjax]

This was my favorite game as a kid, and I still love the soundtrack, thanks for uploading ^^

[@bryanfury6264]

I totally love the 2:50+ one, but how I remember Raptor is definitely this one 1:41+

[@TigerDRena]

Thanks! I've been looking for Hangar now for years.

[@lozza342]

Oh gosh thank you! Been looking for this for so long. This used to be one of my favourite games from the GOG Red Edition game disc. Could listen to this all day and not get bored. So many memories :D

[@PaddyHalts]

3:20 - 3:34 is the beginning of Iron Maiden - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. EXACTLY THE SAME

[@lilacaggression8956]

Patrick Halton you’re not wrong. I guess nobody will ever beat Bobby Prince for ripping off music though.

[@leslaychandel8334]

I remember trying to learn these songs by ear when I was a teenager. I had pretty good grip on the first track. Not that it's really technically difficult anythng but the lead synth sounds amazing as a guitar solo.

[@memories_of_outdoors]

This is my childhood memories.

[@Hebdomad7]

pissstt... it's on steam now... go play

[@soulcube8008]

this was so badass when i was young

[@natew9970]

Started playing this in the 90s when I was 6 or 7. Could never bet past level 2 or 3 until I discovered when I was in junior high the key winning strategy...don't buy anything until level 3 or 4 and then buy the autotrack mini gun (sell everything else you own if you have to). The rest of the game becomes pretty simple from there.

[@osnolapm]

I played this shooteer till eye bleeding, a lot of fun! Thanks for uploading!

By Wave 5 you hope you had stocked up on shields, nukes, a minigun and a pulse cannon.

He changed the sound settings. Or installed a new sound card.

The horrible thing is that I never heard the music for years... PC was so garbage it didn't even have any music! I had to play with just the blasting sounds while I missed out on this awesomeness for ages!

@@NightWatch707 I remember PCs using a tiny internal speaker. Being able to listen to music over two *external* speakers was an amazing experience.

same with me playing the shareware demo of Death Rally with no music for years, and then hearing the music of it for the 1st time, it was like a revelation or some shit 🤣🤣one of the most epic DOS soundtracks out there for sure (Death Rally - Remedy Entertainment 1996 - same company responsible for Max Payne later on)

People talk about Wave 1 being the best, bar none, but Wave 2 is easily the most underrated bc it had to follow 1. 4:16

[@Ahmed-Soudi]

My favorite is hangar.

[@JustinCooney]

I am setting up my DOS computer and this is the first game that I am running on it. Any advice for getting an MPU-401 board to work with the game (not going through gameport) for my external GM sound modules? I am at a lose but then again, I have forgotten pretty anything I ever knew about DOS, autoexec.bat, config.sys, etc...

[@FeelingShred]

this is one of the very few DOS games where actually the Adlib version sounds better than the MIDI version, same case with Wacky Wheels, Hocus Pocus, basically most Apogee games, and earlier RPG's such as Dungeon Master 1 & 2 etc...

[@FeelingShred]

that's good news for you because it's much easier to emulate Adlib on Dosbox than other kinds of sound instruments

Such a classic game! I suddenly had the biggest earworm for this soundtrack when listening to the Shpongle track "And the Day Turned to Night" starting at ~14:12 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF6tnYSGftaXoJY). Went KZbin hunting and found that motif (or melody? or whatever?) resembles the one in "Wave Music 2" here in this Raptor soundtrack at ~4:20 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHXLp5ypaZKVjJI). Ahhh... Satisfaction! Felt like I went back in time 25 years. These tunes are literally antiques now. :D
