Used to own the arcade board - it was a PC in a box, with a romboard - voodoo graphics chip and all

It's ok - nothing special and you do need a medium res screen to play it properly.

How much does the board usually go for? and how bad does it look on say a regular neo geo cabinet or something

WOW this looks like a fantastic shooter!

Is the PC version rare, because I can't find ANY on Ebay?

It doesn't display properly at all - picture is screwed up on normal low res screens because its a higher res game. Allegedly it was switchable, while it never worked for me, the guy I sold it to got it working on his cab in "low res" with a switch setting. Whether that's true or not I really don't know, his cab was a multisync. As for prices I don't know, I've only ever seen one of them - it would appear to be quite rare.

Well, here's some technical info from KLOV:

"The board appears to be a whole PC in a box. The board contains a socketed 370 processor, a 3DFX Banshee chip set, and a stack of ISA bus extension cards, one of which is sound and another appears to contain game ROMs. The 3-D performance of the Banshee chip set on this board excels that of a PC video card using the Voodoo3 chip set, however."

Seriously, does anyone know where I can find the PC port of this game?? I've even searched on Gametz.com, and came up with no entries. And the company that published and developed this game has a website that keep's timing out when I try and reach it.

I wrote that.

I never did find the entire PC port, although I DID find a demo on a site called (I think) 3dfiles.com. It was the only way I could play any of the game. It's a rare beast indeed - good luck finding it. Mine even had the marquee with it!

Thanks for the info on the demo, I'll have to go and check that out!

Please don't think I was trying to 1-up you on the technical info on this game; I read that you said that it was a PC in a box; I should have read the rest of what you wrote!

(And OT, have you found the Saturn ASL 2 videos?)

dave4shmups · Post by **dave4shmups** » Fri Jul 01, 2005 9:32 pm

Well, after Googling, it seems that all the demo downloads for this game are connected to: www.jamie.co.kr -the company that made the game and who's website apparantly isn't around anymore.

So if ANYONE has this demo, please let me know!

I got it off ebay...but only got it because I had never seen it before. I hope I can get it to work on my cab.

well, played it a bit and it's actually pretty fun. Bullets coming at an all new angle. IMO, it's well worth what I paid for it, but yeah, much better games out there of course.

just thought I would add, you can play this game on either res. what you do is, hold player 1's 1 and 2 buttons during test mode. Then rotate the 2nd players stick 360 degrees. counter clockwise for the low res and clockwise for the higher. It looks grwat in the high res, although too fast to take a good picture.

Shit, somebody read the review of the game in the link, in the original post of this thread?

The reviewer, just in the very few first lines, manages to call Raptor (the PC shmup) a 3D shooter, and then put Raptor and X-Tom in the same genre as Descent.

I have never played Raptor, so I can't comment on that and I definitely think for a 1999 release, they should have done a hell of a lot more with a 3d shooter then this. It's just something different as I haven't played any other 3d shmup, only 2d. It's a nice change of pace and in high res on the 28" monitor it is fun, but it's not what something of it's time should have been.

Well, this is raptor:

Your typical PC Shareware 2D shooter.

thered, can you post a few pics of the pcb (not the right term, but i think i'm understood)?

dave4shmups · Post by **dave4shmups** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 6:47 pm

Does anyone have the old demo of this game? It seems to be impossible to track down on Ebay, and, AFIK, it hasn't ever been emulated.

Yo Dave4shmups,

I do have the full-version of Raptor for the IBM PC on CD-Rom disc format. I bought it in the mid 1990's at a PC hardware/software show that would be hosted every few months in Modesto, CA (it was part of a traveling PC hardware/software show & sale showcasing the latest PC's, monitors, & software for the general public to buy). There was this one guy who sold some different Japanese PC shmup titles that I've never seen before which I bought one to see if I could get it to run on Win95 OS (back in the day). I did get it to run and the enemy placement could easily be changed via notepad by simply changing the numerical values and experimenting with what does what during gameplay sessions...I don't know what the title of it was called though since it was entirely presented in Japanese kanji. It did, however, have a cool attract demo mode to lure players into checking it out. But sometimes, it would crash my PC & so I threw it away...damn, it was a hard-ass true Japanese PC hard-core shmup title. Oh well. ^_~

Thanks, but I should've clarified-I'm asking for the demo for X-Tom 3D, since the company that made the game isn't around anymore.

I did download a demo of it from some website yesterday, but it can't even be unzipped because Windows is telling me that it's a corrupt file.

So, if anyone has a demo for X-Tom 3D, please let me know!

I've found a trainer, I've also found a NoCD crack, but that's all!
Where did you download the demo from ?

EDIT: I've also found a game called Gun Viper while looking for x-tom 3D. I don't know how the two are related. I'm on a crappy oooold laptop right now, and GV doesn't run so I don't know what it is.

EDIT2: http://www.globetown.net/~yse17/gun.htm contains two screenshots of GV
