are you sure this is not a dosbox-package like most games on gog ? is it recompiled as a windows application?

also gog.com will soon have the 2010 edition: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/raptor_call_of … ws_2010_edition

Think mountainking released a windows version before. So they should have the sourcecode.
Or was that another apogee published game...

they appear to have updated the graphics as well.

Although they could have applied some sort of graphics filter.
Here is how it looks in dosbox with the advinterp3x filter.
Looks pretty decent as well

I just got it from gog.com , there is a filter allright and 3 resolutions.... infact here is the window that comes up every time you start the game:

too bad they did not work on joystick support that much... the keyboard is still needed on the menus, and you cannot pause or skip cutscenes with the joystick.... bah
at least both analogue and digital input works for the ship movement 😁

I've never heard of DotEmu until now. Where'd they come from? And how do they hope to compete with GOG? (Krypton Egg is new, I suppose.)

Of course it is. It's just not on GOG at the moment.
