Looking forward to this series! Love to see some humble beginnings! Hopefully this project won't be as overbearing as some stuff you've tackled! It's a long road to God hand but I'll wait!

Let's goooo! I had no idea this game existed, and I've really been getting into STGs, I should look into it and the follow-up. What a neat idea for a retrospective series!

Fever chance would probably make me go into debt ngl, 20/10 video my dude

What a great idea for a series! Definitely looking forward to more of these! Side note, it’s great to hear all that Mega Man music, especially that semi deep cut towards the end 🎵😎🎶

Christ, that intro was so good! I replayed it a couple times not gonna lie lol The Yulgus (Im sure I am spelling it wrong) is interesting! Didn't know that but recognized it from MM immediately. Good fact to know. Keep up the good work

Crazy that Capcom was releeasing EM games in 83, whilce the Famicom had just came out and Namco was in high gear producing home versions of their existing arcade games. We all have to start somewhere, I guess!

this is awesome! What a nice surprise! Love all the historical details

This was a fantastic video, can't wait for more

So excited to see the start of this series!

Hyped on this, can’t wait for more!

Excellent work as usual, good sir! I can't wait to see what else you do with this series.

I love this as an idea for a series! Wonderful job, lookin forward to the next vod🙂

Oh I LOVE this! Can't wait for more. Welcome back! 👏

Very nice video! Looking forward to the next ones!

Cool Series already! I recently bought an untested PCB of Vulgus, but it's unfortunately not JAMMA. Hoping it works once I get an adapter

This is a really cool idea for a video series. Vulgus... what a weird name, probably why I havent played it yet, I gotta try it out!

Great video! Never knew Capcom's original name!

This is going to be quite the undertaking looking into every CAPCOM game; I wish you the best of luck and sanity. Will be looking forward to watching. How are you going to handle iterations and "expansion packs" like the 30 (joke) different versions of Street Fighter II? haha

Who is this, again? Something familiar with the voice, and the animations? Oh, it's that guy, with a new channel name! Nice!

coming from Shmup Junkie's channel: great content here! Super subscribed!

Absolutely love this series so far! Great editing as usual and nice bite sized stories that work really well with your usual flare. Interesting that Capcom poached Konami devs....headhunting was no joke back in the day!

Great start to a new series. Cant wait to see more episodes

Great video

This looks so promising, keep it up!

Good video, I love Vulgus! Didn't know there was a sequel! I'll try to find it :D Here's some extra info/impressions I gathered about the gameplay and scoring when I got hooked a couple of years ago. - The game has 2 versions: Set 1, the original ROM, which is the one included in Capcom Arcade Stadium and probably other collections, and Set 2 which you can play through emulation (MAME) and the one I recommend since it fixes an exploit* in the scoring system. You can easily tell them apart: Set 1 allows 10 characters in the scoreboard screen while Set 2 only allows 3 characters. - A loop on this game consists of 3 planets and 3 space areas between them. Then it loops indefinitely. Small enemies are random making each run fresh but waves and big enemies are fixed (they do change between loops, but not between runs). The 2nd loop adds a new enemy (quite annoying), mixes enemies from every planet (sometimes looking a bit spammy), changes wave formations to test your missiles, adds extra bullets to test your dodging and basically wants you dead... it's fun! XD The third loop is similar and then the game kind of resets on the 4th loop, lowering the difficulty (it's like a 3 loops game on repeat, kind of). - The SCORING SYSTEM is great as well if we ignore the optimal strategy. Basically, kill full waves to get a bonus between 500 and 5000 depending on how many waves you've destroyed without dying, and line up enemies with your missiles to get combos (if you finish a wave with a missile the wave bonus won't show up on screen but it'll still be added to your score). Big enemies give 1k points as well and stars award 10k. Take into account that you can despawn enemies, which can help with survivability but also break waves and lose big enemies - The items E, S, D seem to have a negligible effect (if any), so think of them as items you need to pick up to get more missiles and stars (if your missiles stock is full, you'll get more stars). *The optimal strategy involves not using missiles and (ONLY IN SET 1) infinite CP milking: Vulgus, the last boss, is worth 50k points instead of 10k if you didn't use any missiles in the loop, and it also gives you an extra life when it dies so... yeah... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJyclLeLp7e9kmg.html. Thankfully you can ignore it or play Set 2 which only lets you do this once. In that version, the second time you kill Vulgus the game will respawn you in the next loop after a death no matter what. That's still 100k which rewards not using missiles, but at least the game continues and there's no infinite anymore.

love this so far great stuff man I "wish" my stuff looked a 4th as good as yours heh.

I love when IRem makes an appearance. This series is gonna be sweet!

Great video as usually Sir. Comment for KZfaq Algorithm

Vulgus and SonSon are both included in Street Fighter 6
