- Raptor
-
-
-
- This is stolen straight from the Apogee FAQ in the form it
- was submitted to me. Apologies to all for this one, but
- this explained it better than I would ever type.
-
- + Customer Cheat - The backspace key will restore all your energy and give
- you a death ray, at the cost of all your money. This
- will only work in the registered version.
-
- + Debug mode - Set the environment variable "S_HOST" to the value "CASTLE"
- at the DOS prompt by typing "SET S_HOST=CASTLE" (it must be
- in caps). Then, when you play Raptor, you become completely
- invincible, and have all the weapons at your disposal.
-
- + Warp - There is a level warp built into the game, so you can see any level
- you want at any time. What you need to do is to get to the screen
- where you see the level selection (Bravo Sector, etc...). The warp
- combination is a 2 key entry. The keys are not to be pressed at the
- same time. Note that you cannot use the level warp unless debug
- mode (see above) is active.
-
- Key 1 - Z, X, or Y (Z is Episode 1, X is Episode 2, and Y is Episode 3)
- Key 2 - Any key between Q and O on the keyboard. Q is Level 1, and O is
- Level 9.
-
- This works in both the shareware and registered versions. Note that if you
- try and warp to a registered episode from the shareware version, it will
- crash the game.
-
- + Other notes - With a hex editor, change bytes 27h and 28h of a Raptor saved
- game file (char????.fil) to the value FF. When you load this
- saved game, you'll have a few million dollars to spend on
- equipment. If you don't have a hex editor, there are some
- programs available that do this for you. RapCheat is one;
- RapCash is another. Both should be available at ftp.uwp.edu
- under the directory /pub/msdos/games/romulus/cheats. Some
- people have reported problems using RapCash; I don't know if
- these problems have been fixed since or not.
-
- + Birthday Mode - As mentioned above, the "Birthday Mode" will automatically
- put you into "Battle Cow" mode, and it will also play the
- goofy Apogee theme song. To get it, change the system's
- date to the birthday of one of the Cygnus programmers,
- given below. Any year should be ok, as long as it's not
- in the past:
-
- March 12 Bobby Prince
- May 16 Scott Host
- August 28 Rich Fleider
- October 2 Jim Molinets
-
- You can also get "Battle Cow" mode by darkening the switch
- on the "choose sector" screen, and turning on all three
- lights on the right (for v1.0, don't turn on the middle
- light). You don't get the goofy Apogee theme song if you
- do it this way, however.
