You look back to watch the ruin of Lithos Petroleum's rig fade into the smoke filled distance. With this, not only have you left your mark, but also paved the way for things to come.

Me too heh. I had a disc that had like 30 games on it, including Monster Bash, Bio Menace, and this game as well. I remember figuring out that in the third level once I got the special missiles, I could exit out and sell them and after multiple times of this, was able to afford the best weapon in the game. After that, it was simple to mop the floor with enemies, especially after adding in some other upgrades. I was never able to find the full versions of these games sadly and still wish I could to this day.

@@MajorTeag FYI surprisingly the game is now on Steam and can be purchased for a few dollars: store.steampowered.com/app/336060/Raptor_Call_of_The_Shadows__2015_Edition/ Same here, only ever had the shareware version of many great games -- those you listed, plus Duke Nukem 3D, Jazz Jackrabbit, etc. There was a brief period of time where you could find the full-version roms on "Abandonware" sites then play them via DosBox or other DOS emulators. When I finally played the full versions more than a decade later, it was like pure nostalgic bliss.

I liked this so much I made my own version with a fixed frequency response from the bandcamp FLAC, it doesn't even need to be remixed just a corrective spectrum filter curve and it sounds great. I suspect most of the 'issue' was mastering on cheaper speakers/headphones at the time which is easy to reverse out of the audio.
