Raptor features highly detailed smooth scrolling VGA graphics, a variety of enemies both on ground, air and sea, and a well composed original soundtrack. After completing each level you have the option of upgrading your ship with a powerful arsenal of weapons and goodies. Some weapons are effective on only ground or air targets alone while some are on both. There are some really neat weapons like the auto-track mini-gun which can effectively destroy almost any kind of targets without aiming the ship. Dieing in shoot'em ups are mostly annoying especially if you have to start all over the beginning. But in Raptor you can save your game between each level. If you have enough credit you can even buy multiple shields for further protection.
