}}{{Nihongo|Vulgus|バルガス|lead=yes}} is a vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Capcom in Japan in 1984 and released in North America by SNK the same year. The word "Vulgus" comes from Latin and means "common people", people of lower layers of society. The game was Capcom's first video game. The game is included in Capcom Classics Collection and is now available as freeware.[1]

Gameplay

The player controls a spaceship with a single objective: destroy incoming enemies. The vessel has two different weapons: a primary weapon with infinite ammunition and a limited supply of bombs. By picking up the "Pow" icons, which sporadically appear throughout the levels, the player can replenish supplies. Similar to Xevious, the game does not have distinct levels; the background alternates between the surface of a planet and a space field. The game repeats with increased difficulty until the player loses all of their lives.

Legacy

A followup game, Titan Warriors, originally known as Neo Vulgus, was in development for the Nintendo Entertainment System, but was ultimately never officially released.[2]

In 2001, Capcom released Vulgus as freeware for IBM PCs and PDAs.[1]

Vulgus is available in the compilation title Capcom Generation 3 for the Sony PlayStation and Saturn. The game was also included in the 2005 Capcom Classics Collection for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox, in Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded for the PlayStation Portable and as a bonus game at Capcom Arcade Cabinet .

Captain Commando duly notes Vulgus's position in gaming history as Capcom's first game in one of his Marvel vs. Capcom win quotes. Deadpool also states in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for a win quote that he will continue petitioning Capcom for Vulgus 2.

The Pow icon is re-used in many other Capcom games, like Counter Attack, Bionic Commando and Exed Exes. Likewise, the Yashichi enemy has made later appearances in many Capcom games, usually in a more benign role as a power-up. Valgas, a boss character from the Power Stone series, has his name based on this game.
