@@ElephantMariotheRHDNhater3293 Too many people call this game bad, and totally miss the point. Yes the hit detection can be a bit off at times, but this is not one of those games that is serious business. It's bubbly, light hearted, and extremely fun. It is though, a tad too short, but my guess Taito made it this way so that the game wouldn't overstay it's welcome with gamers in Japan, and wherever else this game was released.
The people who made this game did a brilliant job of making it look like an actual cartoon - very impressive for 91. - Its got some random enemies though!.
The people who made this game did a brilliant job of delivering a complete software product while being high enough that they hit their head on the space station
As strange as this game is, I can see they were going for something that wasn't _supposed_ to make sense because it was based on dreams coming to life and dreams can be absolutely nonsensical. The animation has a lot of personality and the art style of the characters and towns are rendered with some very cute pastel colors, and the backgrounds of the "normal" parts of the town once freed from the evil magic are very nice. I also like the typeface they used for the text. It's like if Studio Ghibli mixed with Saban Entertainment for some late 80's/early 90's anime goodness. Pretty funny to see the tribal men wearing, ahem, certain actual tribal clothing that a certain African tribe wears, as well as a sumo butt-shot--but somehow the woman's legs were just a bit too much! 😂🤔
These are some top shelf graphics, especially for the time. The game almost resembles some of the better anime at the time in its character designs and art.
The graphics for its time and technology, this looks awesome. It looks like some Studio Ghibli animated game but the sprites looks a bit darker than the gorgeous background and if only the stages and game was a bit longer then this is a truly a hidden gem. Ps. the Japanese version have some 21:21 extra legs.
In Stage 3 of the original Japanese version, there are two massive legs that comes out of the doors (as seen on 21:20) and opening the middle door makes a pink elephant pop out.
This is why you shouldn't design video games after taking excessive amounts of hallucinatingetic drugs. When you're high as a kite you throw logic completely out the window.
@@MrVariant Well those were made on just enough drugs. These yahoos were smoking all the drugs they could cram down their pieholes. There's having some "Bud" with the boys and consuming the entire contents of a police drug raid locker.
Got this one on Saturn, and on PS2 via Taito Memories. Yes this game is a mindtrip, and the western version ever so slightly censored (she had legs, but she lost them), but I am thankful the 2 versions I own are Japanese versions (there has never been a western console port of this game after all) , so both are intact.
I rushed into TH-cam as soon as i saw the thumbnail image because my curiosity was too strong. This game looks...special. I feel like i’m in a Parodius game. I agree that the english translation is off-beat(« that town is so head.. », what does it mean ?).
@Fahri Akalin *_"Mel"_* , the character who you're referring to, plays just like *_"Zac"_* . You're not really missing out on anything, to be honest. That, and she kinda reminds me of Camille from Little Nemo with her attire.
This game is so beautiful, and I wanted it for so long before finally pulling the trigger on an expensive Saturn copy. I was really disappointed to find out the gameplay is very shallow and repetitive, even for a beat-em-up. I was picturing more of an action RPG, but it’s an arcade game aimed at kids so it makes sense that it would be simple. Still, not really with picking up ultimately.
A lot of the well known beat em ups have a severe problem with repetitiveness, like Streets of Rage, or Final Fight. Hell even the TMNT beat em ups suffered from repetitive enemy types.
Can someone please help me find a game? It was a Japanese fighting game where when you lose you get tossed into the sewer. The fighters had big heads little bodies. It was from the late 80s. Thanks guys!

Pu·Li·Ru·La is one of the weirdest arcade games I've ever played, but man, those graphics! For 1991, holy cow.
Rerez reviewed it on his it's just bad series, but do you think it's anywhere near as bad as he is making it out to be?
@@Dorian_Scott accordingly, all he said was it's just weird during the review . He was just pointing out the weird crap
was it fun?
@@elamigoreptiliano3316 It wasn't great, but I had fun with it just the same.

"That town is so head that no persons can live in, and the town people have escaped."
"Ah, so... I understand. Thank you."
I mean, I understood him; what’s not to get?
To be fair, I wouldn't want to live in a town that was quite that 'head' either.

So that’s why this is so crazy!
And a bit of anpanman art style mix too
These are some top shelf graphics, especially for the time. The game almost resembles some of the better anime at the time in its character designs and art.
What really impressed me were the shadows and reflections. I mean, stage 2's floor and transparent foregrounds.... wow.
1978 - Space invaders explodes and ushers in the golden age of the arcade.
"Taito, what do you see yourself making in 13 years?"
>>>
i absolutely love the art in this game omg i wish my life could look like this!
That sounds terrifying. But it would be cool to have fish with human legs falling from the sky, gotta admit.
The fate of the world rests apon one guy who has to turn a key for his entire life
And one who summons a horde of yodeling enemies to attack someone as his special attack. *_"Oi Yo!"_*
The graphics for its time and technology, this looks awesome.

It looks more 80s wholesome magic anime artstyle to me than studio ghibli's artstyle
In Stage 3 of the original Japanese version, there are two massive legs that comes out of the doors (as seen on 21:20) and opening the middle door makes a pink elephant pop out.
This game is so bizarre but I love it 😂 the graphics are f’ing awesome .. can’t believe this came out in 1991
THIS IS AWESOME
Wow really looks like you're playing a cartoon. It's like Dragon's Lair, but with actual gameplay.
@Wenceslao Futanaki Some games have come pretty close. Asura's Wrath was a real looker. The recent DragonBall games are right up there, too.
@@NintendoComplete which dragon ball games so i can check ?? thanks
@@gem1174 Kakarot is pretty convincing at times.
I remember discovering this game when I found out what MAME was. lol This shit is still just as weird as I remembered.
For the time, the graphics were very good. Cool.
"Ah, so... I understand." I'm glad you do kid, because I haven't got a clue.

Who doesn't like ninja baseball Batman and Mario's mushroom kingdom? They had to be on drugs lol
@@MrVariant Well those were made on just enough drugs. These yahoos were smoking all the drugs they could cram down their pieholes. There's having some "Bud" with the boys and consuming the entire contents of a police drug raid locker.
@@larrylaffer3246 I get you lol reminds me of half-baked line "You smoked yourself stupid" lol
@@MrVariant Exactly. Everything's great in moderation.
@@larrylaffer3246 Maybe these guys were more into gas station grade stuff, like bath salts or fake weed that has carpet glue in it.
I really don't know what to make of this....I just know that I want to play it
That's exactly the same feeling I had the first time I saw it.
3:03 Ray tracing in 1991!!!! xDD

God only knows. I think I'd prefer to stay ignorant in this case.
@@NintendoComplete you’re right.
Ok, now I know what happens when an Earthboundesque enemy and level design goes bad
This game looks wild - what is the second player character like?
The second player is the girl from the intro and ending.
@Fahri Akalin *_"Mel"_* , the character who you're referring to, plays just like *_"Zac"_* . You're not really missing out on anything, to be honest.
That, and she kinda reminds me of Camille from Little Nemo with her attire.
Basically one of those games where the whole game is a mindf--k!
that bonus stage with fish leg,omg
The programmers were high when they made this
High on imagination.
2:06 They used African chants and drumming for THIS?
...well, that’s what it sounds like to me.
This game seems so magical and cute.
Why you shouldnt do drugs while creating video games
They censured the woman legs...but not the Dude with a codpiece Weapon...weird.
Idk if i have enough drugs for this.
16:20 *Damn you,caffeined knights!!!!!!*
Never heard of it but it's pretty interesting
Someone should compile maps for this game. It looks great!
Taito must've been on LSD when they made this game. Everything about this is a complete mindfuck.
4:09 yeah while you're down there
whatever drugs the development team was taking when they made this i want some
It's not drugs, but an incredible imagination.
Even if I do sometime manage to play this game I'll never understand why there has such goofy minions that are red Balls with legs!!.....
This game is so beautiful, and I wanted it for so long before finally pulling the trigger on an expensive Saturn copy. I was really disappointed to find out the gameplay is very shallow and repetitive, even for a beat-em-up.

I wish they went in harder on moments like 4:52, the craziness kinda peaks there unfortunately
Still an all-around gorgeous and fun game
the famous little grain of madness in the Japanese ;)
i was thinking about picking this up for some mushrooms
Can we just gloss over the reflections in stage 2? That's very impressive for 1991.
Can someone please help me find a game? It was a Japanese fighting game where when you lose you get tossed into the sewer. The fighters had big heads little bodies. It was from the late 80s. Thanks guys!
Sounds like Kageki.
The main villain is DIO?
yes drugs
Round 3 is weird
5:40
Where's the woman's legs
Western version played here, that got censored out.
I hope this game never goes to Xbox 1
It's... just...BAD!
Game sucks
