This one brought a real breath of fresh air into a spaceship-dominated genre. The creepiest and therefore best bosses are the pike and the rag doll in my opinion. In fact, the doll is in itself creepier than the fish. But the pike wins in terms of creepiness because of its size, erratic movements and, of course, the music.
3:51 I gotta imagine Pike would drive anyone nuts if you dont have much patience. It dangerously closes you into a corner for extended periods of time and you gotta rotate all the way around it just to get back to its weak point.
Total headcannon, but my story on the Forgotten Doll boss is that she was once a little girl's cherished toy, and enjoyed a life of games, picnics, tea parties and bedtime snuggles, that little girl loved her and the doll loved her back. But children being children, eventually the girl lost interest in the doll and discarded her into a river, where she eventually ended up in the sewer. Now abandoned and alone in the darkness, rotting in cold, stinking filth with only loss, betrayal and hatred to keep her company, that doll lies in wait for a victim to take it's pain out on. You can hear that sadness in the music...
Okay, what the cheese with that ending. There was literally no indication that this was a sword and sorcery fantasy game, then in the final cutscene "Wait, the Bee was actually a knight, and he kills an evil wizard to get a potion for his wife?" But there was modern stuff in it. Like robots and the Pepsi can and who would build a cyborg clam? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!
+crinosG This game has a story in the same way that fighting games have stories. Yes, they're there, but... yeah. What you see is what you get. Just embrace the insanity.
The reason is that the devs are weaboos, essentially. The game is German yet has a Japanese title screen and faux-anime art style. And most Japanese shumps have the same schtick of having a backstory very loosely related to the gameplay.
crinosG i need met the story of the game,i have fear of bees,but i dont want to kill them,they are important,but the game leave me with a lot of doubts
Wow, talk about some serious WTF factor...and I love it...dat rat boss! At least the designers of this game gave us something new in the side scrolling shooter department. I'd have liked to see a full sized human enemy as the last boss tho, that bee was a bit anticlimactic. Nice gameplay btw.
Its actually kinda sad to me that this doll was thrown away and treated like garbage for an unexplained reason and it really isnt it's fault for looking scary in the end. But still this is just my opinion on that boss
I got a boss run suggestion for you: Gynoug. It's got some really disturbing bosses that look amazing. Eerily enough, the boss known as Orrpus bears an uncanny resemblance to the Heart Mutant from this video.
maggots in a dead carcass is such a vile concept for a boss but I also find it really cool and creative. they could've just made the boss the rat but making the rat itself dead and the maggots your main target is pretty cool
It would have been easy to make more "normal" stages, especially with some of the assets in the last level such as the Giant Wasp and the Bat. The Wasp could have been in a tree-tops level and the Bat could have been in a cave or cavern level. I think the people who made this game just put a game together with whatever sprites they all ready had at their disposal.
How can a mole be smaller than a mantis. Why can the doll vomit and shoot lasers. Why do you all of a sudden fight robots. Why does a can of pepsi have a face. Why is the heart mutant a thing. Why does the ending indicate that this was a fantasy game. Why is there a giant hornet but also a small one. What the f**k is the final boss "music" THIS GAME MAKES NO SENSE
Whoa, you're doing Amiga games too? 8D You have no idea how much I love that system ^^ Perhaps you could do the bosses from Yo! Joe, it's a really awesome game, and the bosses got pretty challenging as it progressed ^^ Also, still think you should totally do a Bucky O'Hare (NES) boss run ^^
bee irl: NUU DONT EAT ME THE WORLD NEEDS ME i NEED TO POLLINATE FLOWERS PLSSSS the mantis irl: ._. bro im just hungry the queen bee is just gunna lay more eggs bee irl: oh
The drugs in Frankfurt must be really great. This Frankfurt-based studio, whose Japanese name, depending on the kanji, means either silkworm (蚕子) or oceanic trench (海溝), is now defunct but made one heck of a horizontal shoot 'em up while obviously on a wild acid trip.

The worms bursting out of the rat corpse in the sewer is the rawest boss I’ve seen yet
that amount of gore was NOT necessary
Designer 1: Wasn't this about bees?
Designer 2: I. GOT. BORED.
Idk, every boss is something you could find in a garden
@@eightcoins4401 Not at the end it isn't lol.
You want to say that a rotting tomato thingies are usually found in a garden?

3:51 I gotta imagine Pike would drive anyone nuts if you dont have much patience. It dangerously closes you into a corner for extended periods of time and you gotta rotate all the way around it just to get back to its weak point.
Its basically the games „big ship“ stage ala Stage 3 from R-type
I love that genre. You can turn it into ANYTHING.
what genre?
Shoot them ups,or shmups, for short.
I love how the doll's neutral animation is just it going "You see this shit?"

Damn... That rotting rat was a thing. :D
Looked it up, and I have to say: That's pretty disgusting. But I like it when the developers back in the day went totally crazy with the level design.
that rat corpse is sure disturbing
My brother played this game a lot but I didn't really remember this part
There were so much imagination back then =)
Well its just a rat infected by parasites and got rotten still though I feel kinda bad for the poor rat
約20年前のゲームでここまで動物の造形細かく再現してるの普通に凄いわ

Man, that fish boss is some trial-and-error bullshit
You mean the Pike?
Ill say
I believe it was inspired by R-Type - Level 3 which also was trial and error as you fight a giant scrolling spaceship.
@@Slamy4096 Especially at the part when the entire right side is cramped with blasters and rocks you can't see
A Pepsi can that is the funniest boss ever!
+Boning Ding Yeah but...the penultimate boss looks like a rejected Resident Evil monster.
bepis
Manic Flying pepsiman
i wonder if it was pepsi man
It’s Pepsi man on a low budget
6:26 Pepsiman lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
Lol
This stuff looks like it was recorded directly from a dream; it's not just strange, it's perfectly surreal.

That’s one awesome game. The music is atmospheric.
Another sentimental fragment. Good soul candy. Thank you Mr. Shadowserg! Thank you!
I maintain that this game was created with random assets the creators had on their computers.
"Oh hey, this game seems pretty harmless."
*worms burst out of a rat's corpse*
"Oh..."
Mole is cute....
Mantis is pretty neat....
*maggots rising from an exploding rat corpse*
...um, help
The games theme is all over the place. And the doll is nightmare fuel
So is the heart mutant.
Its actually kinda sad to me that this doll was thrown away and treated like garbage for an unexplained reason and it really isnt it's fault for looking scary in the end. But still this is just my opinion on that boss
Yeah, I kinda wish she, and the other bosses, had an in-game lore or something... Otherwise the game feels a bit underwhelming
@@thaneimer2667Not many games back then had in game lore lol
14:02
That's all i'm gonna say
Legitimately a cool as hell concept in a genre obsessed with spaceships
the green fish music got instantly tattooed in my brain from this instant to the rest of my life.
This is the magic behind the music composed by Chris Hülsbeck. So catchy!
@@Slamy4096 hes really good on piano he knows how to use the synthesizer
One of the best amiga games. Loved it.
8:25 ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE AND DOESN'T LOOK SCARY! THANK GOD!
10:11 These fish actually exist theyre Cow Fish

what ima doing with my life only watching boss battles
Is it me,
or these bosses are creepy as hell...!??
It's not just you.
The team who make this is R-TYPE big fans, the Japan shooting game which contains grotesque alien creatures as enemies.
I think that floating heart thingy in the 4th stage was heavily inspired by a boss from Gynoug, which also had some pretty freaky bosses for a shmup.
Type in Wiz N Liz Boss on RUclips. They get creepier the more they take damage
It's just you. The rest of us think all of tHIs iS pERfeCtlY NorMaL.

The forgotten doll is by far, the most creepy boss in history of videogames
What about the rat and the maggots or that heart thing?
Believe me, there are bosses way creepier than that doll.
グラフィックの気持ち悪さ、ボスの当り判定の変な部分、部分的に爆発するカマキリ、聴かせる音楽、ものすごくバランスの悪いゲーム。
でも昔のレゲーはこんな雰囲気もあった、素晴らしい！
Love stage 5's bosses' music theme, awesome music to listen to 👍
My favourite is the mantis
*observes thumbnail*
Oh, this gonna be one of _those_ games, isn't it?
Wait, the Pepsi Can has a face?! Wow, I thought there were limits to how bad pollution could be...
IT'S A GAME!
PEPSI MAN BOSS
Its like ferngully
I was expecting a ¨don't do drugs¨ at the end
The ragdoll thing in the thumbnail looks like it's saying, in a gravely New York trucker accent, _"EY WASSA MATTA WIT YOUSE, I'M SLEEPIN' 'ERE!"_
I haven't seen such disturbing creatures since I looked up the movie Foodfight!
I got a boss run suggestion for you: Gynoug. It's got some really disturbing bosses that look amazing. Eerily enough, the boss known as Orrpus bears an uncanny resemblance to the Heart Mutant from this video.
+Ryan Krakinski Yeah, looks very creepy I'll try it. :)
+Ryan Krakinski I've uploaded boss run from Gynoug. Thanks again for recommendation. ;)
+Shadowserg i have a suggestion for ya play ghost n ghouls or just play ghost and goblin the boss were creepy also worst for the psp version
Hope you do Fire Mustang in Genesis doing boss rush soon.
Which one is the heart mutant
maggots in a dead carcass is such a vile concept for a boss but I also find it really cool and creative. they could've just made the boss the rat but making the rat itself dead and the maggots your main target is pretty cool
3:52 suspenseful ass music keeps you posted just to reveal a goofy ass fish, that killed me lmfao
this is in my top 5 best old school game musics.
Nothing beats Chris Hülsbeck's Turrican 1+2 OST
Ah, I love classic pixelated eldritch abominations. ^_^
This game's soundtrack is straight fire from start to finish
Good lord, that dead rat boss...
The game overall though has REALLY good music and visuals like daaang
alright.. not as bad as I expected. Just a caterpillar, mole, mantis... eel? what th- *WHAT T-* *_W-_*
The whiplash between the heart mutant and the giant wasp is real
This is the coolest Amiga shooter I've ever seen!
Oh, now I see why Monsanto is trying to kill all the bees. They're OP as fuck.
That Pepsi man. Always sponsoring his brand. (chuckles)
0:38 he’s attacking in harmony

A Pike has never looked so menacing.
That moment when you realize a bee is "flying" underwater fighting a fish. Or is the fish flying...
That bee wasn't like the others: it has protection, power and it's ready to save the day!
