''[[Pulstar]]'' is a scrolling shooter video game developed by Aicom for the [[Neo Geo]] arcade/home game system. Depending on who you ask, it is either a quality tribute to or an outright rip-off of the ''[[R-Type]]'' series. There are rumors that the game was developed by ex-Irem staff who joined Aicom.
Story:
Line 6:
In the year 2248, the first recorded sign of extraterrestrial life was discovered coming from Mars. The signal emanated from the planet and from it an object travelled through space at light speed out of the Solar System. Earth scientists read the signal, but not knowing the nature of it, warned the world's defenses in case aliens traced the signal and followed it to Earth with the intent to destroy.
Eight years later, aliens followed the signal to the Solar System and began attacking the human space craft awaiting them along Neptune’s orbit. The battle between the humans and aliens spread throughout the Solar System
Has a sequel, ''[[Blazing Star]]''.
