Great Arcade game. I added it to my video along with other Amiga games released in July.

A decent shooter, but nothing really exciting. The arcade version apparently didn't even offer power-ups. Thanks for the solid conversion, though! Our German-language review can be found at 02:39:16. English subtitles are also available. 🙂

“long press on red: laser”


Wait, wait - Vulgus has a LASER?

laser or "bomb", the "pow" power ups add one each time. One of the fun parts when playing for score is to shoot the enemies when they're aligned (turtles for instance) for more points. See attract mode to see how.

Aha, I was confused by the two different names.

Awesome game!

Wow, how do you port game so fast ? Which tools do you use ? Ghidra ?

nope. Manual disassembly. For that one, Mark (tcdev) did a very good job so it was even faster.

Great work jotd!

very good

Awesome game!
