I've been researching Pulstar on google and everywhere I see these rumours that it was made by ex-IREM employees. Other places say this is not true. Does anyone know for sure? This is bugging me.

It certainly has a lot of similarities, but I don't think anyone can give a guaranteed statment about it - iirc the credit listings in both games only give nicknames and the like. Grr.
R-Type Leo was developed by Irem's internal group 'Nanao' (authors of te famous "Meikyuu Jima"); the original authors of R-Type's series went to 'Aicom' (bought by SNK) to develope "Pulstar".
does that sound right?

Since it was me the one who wrote that info for Arcade History, let me say that the whole Irem-SNK thing expands to many other titles like Last Resort, Top Hunter of KOF94. R-Type people working on Pulstar was published by some Euro mag at the moment, anyways.
