Pulstar (Neo Geo)

The intro and first stage of Pulstar by Aicom on the Neo Geo. My favourite Neo Geo shoot 'em up. A very challenging game.

r-type wannabe clone.

£500!? LOL. must suck owning a neogeo...lame clones which you can't even afford to buy! :)

[merlin196]

Why do you think the game is lame? This game is generally held in pretty high regard by shoot 'em up fans. It's one of my favourite shooters.

[Lemming433]

I feel I should just run out there and buy it for AES but I simply don't have £500 to spare :p

[merlin196]

I know how you feel. I'd love to own this on AES but it's so expensive. I've got this on Neo CD and the loading times aren't bad at all.

[Lemming433]

Ah but do you own a top/front loader or a CDZ?

[merlin196]

I've got a CDZ so I imagine it's a bit quicker to load although I've never used a top/front loader.

For those who thinks it's just an R-Type clone, think again. This game is being made by former Irem employees who are used to be one of the development team members on R-Type series. I love both R-Type and Pulstar. Did you know? NeoGeo CD has more scenes than the MVS and AVS version. It also has arranged soundtrack. Oh boy, this game is hard, but I loved it. ;)

I love the intro theme <3

BONUS!!!

POWER UP!!!

YAHOO!!!

Oh excuse me wrong game

[Wesnothlich]

@SupremeDemon I know that feel

[SupremeDemon]

Oh man. You guys know that feel when you spend years remembering a game you saw when you were little, but forgot it's name and then by sheer Luck you find it again and remember it's title? This is how I feel right now.

Heheh. And the only reason I spent so long looking for this game was because of the woman in the intro. She was my first crush from a video game...before I actually knew Samus was a girl. *don't kill me please!*

I saw an AES version of this game on ebay for $960.

[fcukugimmeausername]

Wow, this looks like an epic R-type rip-off. Anyone confirm?

[Pokpal178]

Stage 1--R-Type anyone..?

Anymore AiCOM games like this (i.e. IREM)?

Metroid --> Orn ('fan game')

Figure it out!

@Radwar99 What part of I didn't mention that and it's not a remake did *you* not get? And what makes you assume that I bothered to read your "oh-so-important" previous post? Nothing? Ok then...

[Radwar99]

@NinjaRunningWild What part of remake don't you get? Remakes with better gfx, music & sound is nothing new and there's nothing wrong with that. Like I said in my previous post, originally Irem decided to do a remake of R-Type and name it R-Type 4, except Irem went backrupt and the team working on it moved to Aicom. They probably renamed it Pulstar because Irem still had the rights to the R-Type name.

@JBHutto

yeah thats best way to play this.Neo geo is awesome but at the time when it was released it actually already was dated,compared to the arcades.
