    Pu·Li·Ru·La is one of the weirdest arcade games I've ever played, but man, those graphics! For 1991, holy cow.

      @@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.

    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! 😂🤔

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
