One of the best DOS games in the 90s. The port itself is open sourced by the original author.

Well, that's an appropriately named game.

The author is asking for help from the POWER community.

If you are running PPC64BE Linux distro, could you please compile the dev git branch and let the author know if the game works?

Many thanks

 @tle Thank you for mentioning this game. I tried and have just answered that in the opened issue (https://github.com/skynettx/raptor/issues/15):

QuoteI've just checked the `dev` branch on my PowerMac G5 that run the latest Debian image (https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2025-03-31/), the first one that works for a long time.
The result is that it builds well and I played the first mission until the boss. The music seems to be good too but sound effects (shoots, explosions ...) are not played.

tle

Thanks much for helping out. Wondering if you could see any log that might help the author with troubleshooting the no sound effect issue?
