Once again Ghostwalker brings up his newest piece of tasty shooter goodness.

This of course is a classic shooter for the Neo and those of you who loved this game will really get a kick out of this 55 Meg wonder.

Enjoy. :D

Nice review site. Well written and honest.

That being said anyone on dail-up or less avoid the Pulstar and Blazing Star reviews like the fucking plague.

The Pulstar review had about 900kb of animated gifs at the very top of the page. I don't know how much the total is if you include the screen caps because I didn't let them load that far.

As far as the Blazing Star review goes, I gave up when I saw the pilot and ship animations were about 350kb for the first one...and there are many, many, many ships.

Like I said, nice site, just really not the most economically designed.

Thanks BonusKun! The reviews are for everyone to bask in and enjoy.

As for everyone's comments, I always appreciate feedback!

As for Blaine, I can understand what you're saying. You must be using good 'ol fashioned 56K. Sorry about that! <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" /> Obviously, your love of the Neo-Geo made you seek out the other article I had posted for that system. Do keep in mind that while you are probably absolutely correct in most of your comments, the Blazing Star and Pulstar reviews are huge in size, and you are also looking at probably the 2 largest review articles I have ever done for the site. Most don't have anywhere near that amount of detail as far as animated gifs go, and most are simple with text and screenshots.

Keep the comments coming and thanks for the kudos. Enjoy, Enjoy shooter fans...
