3D Realms played a crucial role in development of PC game industry as well as has a great santimental value to probably million of old school arcade game addicts. People like me 😉 who lived in that glorious times when DOS was a standard for a desktop operating system pretty much like MS Windows is today, certainly remember the awesome games produced by Apogee Software a company later known as 3D RealmsĪpogee until this very day remain one of the greatest game creation companies in history of games. The game works without any dosbox hacks, just download, unarchive and launch with wget tar -zxvf cd dosbox rap.exe I personally used it on my Debian Linux so installed via apt: Nicely Raptor works out of the box directly launched with dosbox emulator.Äosbox has packages for most Linux distributions. After a bit of look I found it on an old torrent with few seeders and succeded downloading.įor the convenience of people who would like to download run the Raptor arcade classic game check here Having a bit of experience with DOSBox to run few DOS games I've decided to give a try with dosbox.įirst I have to dig for this shareware, since this game is part of the sharewares, nowdays a binary version of it is freely distributed on the net.įinding the game however took me about 10 minutes, as most of the download links for Raptor, were either dead or required some kind of registration. I'm sometimes being sentimental about the past so I remembered for Raptor – Call of the Shadows !
The most spread versions of DOS people used to use on their PCs were Novell (DR-DOS) more rarely used, and MS-DOS (The Microsoft DOS ver.). For all those who haven't heard of dosbox, it is x86 Free Software Linux / FreeBSD DOS emulatorÄosBox supports, almost all the game classics we used top lay in oldschool times when DOS (Disk Operating System ) version was running on top of most personal computer.
Since its early days dosbox has elolved a lot.
