1. "Biggest" Boss - Cho Aniki

Well, where does one begin when describing this guy, or any of Cho Aniki for that matter? Cho Aniki, inexpicably translating to 'Super Big Brother' is a side-scrolling shooter that fits into what the Japanese call the "idiot game" genre. Is the game's excess of phallic imagery appropriate? Is it somehow homophobic or just otherwise wrong? Probably best not to overthink that too much, and instead just embrace the bizarre campiness of this final boss showdown. Who the hell is this giant man with his genitalia replaced by all manner of lethal machinery. He looks like a lobotomised Arnold Schwarzenegger with a comb-over, and legs that are disturbingly short below the knee. The boss goes through a couple of stages, and after you hurt him enough he makes what could unfortunately be interpreted as a, erm, 'climactic' face before a bald muscle-man in the shape of a penis emerges from one of his holes to... Is there even any point describing him? Is there any way you could possibly be prepared for what you're about to witness? Probably not, so just watch the video...What's your weirdest video game boss battle of all time? Let us know in the comments!
