Measurements of pulsars in the energy domain above ~ 1 keV have provided in the last few years new and interesting results. This paper presents a review of the observational features of PSR 0531+21 and PSR 0833–45 (the Crab and Vela pulsars). Searches for pulsed emission from old radio pulsars in the same energy domain are also reviewed and results assessed. The comparison of the observed features with each other and with the corresponding features observed at lower energies reveals similarities and differences capable to constrain theoretical models with special regard to the geometry of the emission mechanisms.
