Pulsar was basically an amped up R-Type!! Awesome game

Stunningly beautiful game! I still can't wrap my head around the fact that this is 1990 hardware designed in 1988-89. My cousin has an AES one of the early ones that was ment for Video rental stores, and the details in some of the games like Last Blade or this one, or Viewpoint or any of the King of Fighters or Gaoru is shocking. I mean even playing SF4 or SF5 with its 3d graphics is crap compared to SNKs mastery, only SF2 & 3 matched it, and no modern game has ever made me feel the way i did when i played the MVS in arcade, maybe it was that time... the console wars, the incredibly inovative games, it will never happen again. My fave quick play is SVC Chaos playing with Sagat =) I loved SF in the arcade but this system was the onlyone that did it perfectly in the early to mid 90s, and it's a testament to high quality design that they made games for it until 2005, i cant think of any other mayor home console that was supported that long. Its like a time warp to my teens when i play any of its games. I love may other games on SNES or Genesis or PS1 & PS2 or Saturn, but NeoGeo is just so full of mistique. Its something difficult to discribe, but to this day i get goosbumps evertime i touch the AES.

Seems I'd better be writing this here rather than repeating myself over and over in the comments section, but Pulstar was made by former members of Irem who originally made R-Type hence the resemblance. Obviously Aicom didn't have the rights to the R-Type name which is why it was named Pulstar.

I don't think they wanted to make an officially licensed game to boot
@kacpersobieraj54217 ай бұрын
@Radwar99 Yeah, I can see where you are coming from. In fact, this feels like it was originally going to eighter be a sequel to R-TYPE, or a remake of the first game, which seems more likely. My theory is that they were developing a remake of the first R-TYPE game in the series, but eighter did not have the rights to R-TYPE, or wanted to make something that does not have the R-TYPE branding slapped on it, so they rebranded it to pulstar. Therefore, Pulstar is a rebranded remake of the first R-TYPE, while Blazing Star is a rebranded remake of R-TYPE 2.

Ah yes. I remember falling in love with Blazing Star and went to find Pulstar cause it was the 'prequel' after someone mentioned it. Just amazing how good these side scroller shmups were. I wish the story was more fleshed out. The premise just seems so interesting.
