Those bosses (and Cho Aniki for that matter) are just silly, they aren't really freaky and F-ed up, as I'm referring to. I mean stuff that is out of a horror movie or a horrible affront to the laws of nature (like SpiderCat)Looks like someone needs to play the Parodius series of arcade games fast!
Most freaky, messed-up enemies/bosses

Slicked-back hair + big glasses + neat clothing = Late 80s and early 90s advertisers' vision of nerdliness. Basically, the Christopher Reeves' Clark Kent look.
In fact, glasses alone usually signified nerdliness in those days. Particularly if it was a woman wearing glasses. And then she takes them off, and *gasp!* she's beautiful!

Yeh, it's not weird or grim or anything, but I will always remember the giant powerup that fires powerups at you. Basically a boss that will let you upgrade to your ideal speed, weapon set, 4 options and a shield before you kill it.

I will never play ps2 r-type again, because of the slow spaceship level, but I did play through it at one point, and vaguely remember that they took your gomander description and ramped it up quite a bit. It that true?ZeetherKID77 wrote:Gomander from R-Type.

You fucking ENTER ONE OF THE ORIFICES.
And it looks even more like a vagina in R-Type Final.

The Dung Beetle boss in Metal Black was pretty interesting too. Actually, that game has some really nice touches throughout.Vincent Draconis wrote:Metal Black's Omega Zone (screw whoever took down those MB playthroughs on YouTube) was one boss that truly struck me as weird, and yet so appropriate for a Taito shmup. The one thing about it I immediately recall about it is when OZ took enough damage, a cat that appeared in the background. Well, aside from the random points in Human history that were shown before that.
After it died, various images flash by, followed by a memorable image of the Earth being split in two. I probably would've had nightmares if I had played Metal Black in the arcade as a child.
