Blazing Star (ブレイジングスター) is a scrolling shooter video game for the Neo Geo home game system. It is the sequel to Pulstar, which was itself a close cousin to the R-Type franchise. A typically hefty Neo Geo ROM at 346 Mb, the game makes extensive use of pseudo-3D prerendered sprites, brief anime and CGI cutscenes (mostly during the intro sequence), and frequent Engrish voice samples and captions.
