Changes: Vulgus

Revision as of 20:11, 10 October 2018

Vulgus (バルガス, Barugasu^?) is a vertically scrolling shooter released by Capcom in May 1984. It has the distinction of being Capcom's first video or arcade game, and is included on the third volume of Capcom Generations and later on Capcom Classics Collection.

Gameplay

Vulgus is a very simple concept where the player takes control of a space ship cruising over an alien landscape. The weapon is a simple blaster shot with infinite ammunition. There is also a limited supply of missiles that can be replenished with the POW icons on screen.

The game also allows players to increase the playfield by moving the craft to the left or right while the game scrolls up.

Trivia

The Yashichi, which is usually either a power-up or extra life item, made the first of its many appearances in this game as an enemy. The POW and star items also appeared in many games.
Captain Commando mentions Vulgus in one of his win quotes in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
In Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, Deadpool (in a win quote) says he will continue petitioning Capcom for a Vulgus 2.
The unreleased Titan Warriors was developed as a spiritual successor to Vulgus.
