Here are some Tips For Raptor:

     * Start at "Training Mode."
          If you start at training, you can collect cash and weapons.  Also,
          if you start here, you can earn more money, and buy more weapons
          before you get to the harder levels (veteran and elite).
          Remember to spend all of your money before wave 4, because if
          you dont, you'll lose all of your money.

     * Here's a cool way to earn money:
          When you get to a level that gives you weapons, get them, abort
          the mission (press escape), and sell them.  If you do this many
          times, you get lots of cash.
          Here are the weapons, where to find them, and about how much they
          sell for:
            Air-Air Missile      Wave 1   $30000
            Air-Ground Missile   Wave 3   $55000
            Dumbfire Missile     Wave 6   $70000
          You can also fine megabombs on lots of levels, which sell for about
          $16000.

     * When you have only less powerful weapons, blow up things on one part of
       The screen.
          If you stay on one side of the screen (unless you need something
          somewhere else), You will have less targets to try to hit, and
          you won't fly into stuff going sideways.

     * When you hit things that give you something you don't need right away,
       wait for it to come to you.
          If you hit something that gives you something you can wait for 
          (a ship that carries money, etc.), wait for it to get close to the
          bottom of the screen.  If you move to the top of the screen, you have
          more of a chance of getting hit by missiles, etc., or the things
          shooting them.  You also have more of a chance of missing other planes
          carrying money, etc.
     
     * If you really suck at raptor, there is another quick way to earn cash.
          Find a money editor and download it.  There's one called "RAPEDIT"
          on )(evious that works.
