Well not really but I noticed today this:



Made by different companies but the almost the same exact logo, I mean even down to the highlighting towards the middle.

Anyone else ever notice that?

These games are actually related.

Made by different team only in name one would suspect.

I thought the same team made both and also prehistoric isle 2. All 3 games play very similar.

hell man, how can you NOT notice that.

To me, I consider Blazing Star a sequel to Pulstar as much as I consider Metal Black a sequel to Gun Frontier.

Yeah, I've always considered Blazing Star to be sort of a "Pulstar 2".

Blazing Star is the FOLLOW UP to pulstar by the same team/people (just under a differant name). It's not a direct sequal. You could compare the whole thing to Radiant Silvergun/Ikaruga. The games are more like "spiritual succesors" that direct sequals.

That's the best analogy. Exactly the same one I was going to use.

Necrobump!

Yesterday, I have found a small "PULSTAR BLAST" logo inside the regular S1 Rom of Blazing Star (which contains the fix layer graphics). It is leftover from the developing process and it seems that the programmers forgot to delete it.

If there where doubts before that Blazing Star actually is a renamed Pulstar 2 / Pulstar Blast, this is the ultimate proof. :D

It's a good thing they changed the name from Pulstar Blast to Blazing Star. If they'd left it as Pulstar Blast Panda woulda hoarded all the copies and it would've cost me a fortune to pick up on MVS.

:lolz:

Wow that's really a nice find! I'm glad they went with 'Blazing Star' for the title.

"Pulstar Blast" sounds way cooler...

Damn you,

Now people will think Blazing Star is Pulstar 2 and want more money for it than Pulstar 1. :keke:

Nice find! It's great that even after all these years stuff like this is still being discovered.
