Editing Talk:Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Hopefully not too tenuous a concept for an article. There were enough connections to Doom that it seemed justifiable. [[User:Fraggle|Fraggle]] ([[User talk:Fraggle|talk]]) 14:59, 18 July 2015 (CDT)

: By the same reasoning, we should have an article about every Valve game that used the same installer routine as Doom95.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] ([[User talk:Ryan W|talk]]) 18:25, 18 July 2015 (CDT)

:: I'm for it. It's just a nice tidbit about the incestous nature of the early 90s game industry. --[[User:Linguica|Linguica]] ([[User talk:Linguica|talk]]) 21:18, 18 July 2015 (CDT)

: I don't see it as being similar to the installer routine thing. The two common points between Doom and Raptor are 1. a sound library that only they use (so it's more relevant than if it was a widespread sound library, like HMS or MSS, both of which have been used by hundreds of titles) and 2. a setup utility that, again, is only used by Doom engine games and Raptor, and that id actually took from Raptor. So it's a bit tenuous but it's not entirely trivial, and I don't see where else it'd get documented. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] ([[User talk:Gez|talk]]) 02:50, 19 July 2015 (CDT)

:: ''That'' makes a lot more sense; thank you.&nbsp; To your last point, it is documented where one would expect, in [[Setup program]] (twice) and [[DMX]].&nbsp; If we had an Apogee article, it might go in the trivia section there also.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] ([[User talk:Ryan W|talk]]) 03:06, 19 July 2015 (CDT)

=="Possible" connection to Cygnus==
Far more than possible, considering Cygnus also later licensed the [[Doom engine]] in order to create [[Strife]]. We know how that [[Rogue Entertainment|turned out]], though ;) --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 09:20, 19 July 2015 (CDT)
