Weird japanese video game gay men

I bought it inon my first trip to Japan, because I saw it in a games magazine and thought it was too amazing to pass up. I still have it. No way its a gay game, oh no. The very first issue of a Japanese magazine dedicated to kusoge literally: shit games had Ai Cho Aniki on the cover.

My initial exposure to the game was in when it was first released. I saw an ad for it in a magazine, and I knew I simply had to pick it up. It was too strangeand too bizarre to let it pass me by. I totally loved it. The graphics are incredibly colourful and detailed, with multi-level parallax backgrounds and well animated enemies and bosses.

The music is top notch as well, featuring a healthy range of styles with excellent weird japanese video game gay men values, making good use of the CD format. The gameplay is a real stunner though, and deserves a paragraph of its own. The gameplay is as weird as the rest of the game.

Merely pressing the shoot button launches a slow tracking shot. The real power comes when, for example, you move left then right and then shoot. Or right then left. Or up then down. Both games feature angels, strange underwater levels, and locomotives with faces.

The presentation is kind of a mixed bag. The game starts as many do, in space above some clouds with … floating heads, swords and a strange guy on a half-moon who throws babies at you. Scoot across a city loaded with more floating heads different, larger heads than before and robots, and you face the first boss: A locomotive with a diving board and trampoline.

Little men climb to the diving board, jump onto the trampoline, and try to rebound into you. If you beat him he swaps the diving board for a cannon, which blasts the same little guys rapid-fire into the sky so they can rain down on you. Level 2 starts off over the ocean, with more floating heads, a few torsos, the occasional nautical baddy with little men flinging bullets at you, and a mid-boss that tries to blow you into the ocean where tentacles grab you.

Oh, and butterfly men. You can read more about the PC Engine Magazines here. Games for the PC Engine, which had previously had standards and controls, were suddenly leaning hard into nudity and adult themes to boost sales. And in the chaos of the console generation change, this game.

There was one Cho Aniki game before this, and several after. And then the series switched to digitized graphics featuring real humans, and it must be said that the charming ambiguity of the series was… Entirely ejected. The Saturn and Playstation updates to the series are less ambiguous, and less interesting.
