PULSE TAPE RELEASE DELAYED
*************************************

The one thing missing from Pulse was a physical tape release. Having
contacted many people to try to make this a reality and having no response, Sven Klose took the problem into his own hands and decided he could release
the game on tape himself! Real life came in the way, but he is confident
of a physical release of the game. Not only that, but it looks like the
game will be heavily tweaked and re-worked.

TAKEN FROM THE WEBSITE

Life is getting better

The optimistic release date for Pulse 2 passed and I'm very, very sorry
about that. With moving into a new flat and office and metric cartloads of
new work to do there's hardly any spare time left. But be ensured that
it's still being worked on. Just adding a bit more level data doesn't do
it for me. I want this thing to knock you off your socks - I love your applause. B) Am afraid you have to give me another couple of weeks.

The free release of pulse is out - may the source be with you!

Pulse is a well-received, fast, horizontally smooth-scrolling shoot-'em-up

There's also a video of the thing on real hardware; thanks, Mike! Pulse is being discussed at VIC-20 Denial
