10 Weirdest Excuses For Video Game Bosses

Did you know that Hitler was a super-powerful, mechanical feat of destruction in a game that came out before Wolfenstein 3D?

Total Carnage was a top-down shooter, and a bloody brilliant one at that. Seriously, there was a lot of gore, gibs, and graphic death animations, all wrapped up in an over-the-top, 1980s action movie-esque game.

The steroid-laden muscle men of the game fight their way though enemy-infested territory of the nefarious dictator General Akhboob. His mutant army just keeps pouring out of a “Baby Milk Factory” which suspiciously looks like a military base.

After a nearly-unfair amount of resistance, the General will attack with a large tank on his head. After defeating that, a similar tank of Hitler’s head will appear, spewing more rockets, killer eyeballs and non-American bits of dialogue.

So, was he Hitler all along? Seems that way.

After that, a bloody tank that closely resembles Red Skull from the Marvel comics will emerge. All his attacks fly around the screen at a psychotic speed.

The whole final battle is a chaotic mess of colourful explosions, projectiles flying everywhere, and lots of screams. It’s even more fun with a buddy.

The last trick up the dictator’s sleeve is to send multiple clones making a dash for the exit. If one of them leaves, he escapes. If you catch them all, though, you et the pleasure of mashing buttons to fry him in the electric chair.
