* QuirkyWork: ''Metal Black'' is a trippy shoot-em-up with psychedelic themes, enemies consisting of FlyingSeafoodSpecial, and entertaining TranslationTrainWreck. It's infamous for its odd final boss, which, even with all the crazy things you've seen before reaching that point, still can't compare. [[spoiler: The entire fight takes place before creepy and symbolic imagery, presumably visualized into the battlefield by the boss. This slideshow includes fossils, a prehistoric human, a factory, and soldiers and combat aircraft. It then shifts to two final, surreal images, depicting what seems to be a junkyard and finally, a twisted cityscape with an eyeless cat in the foreground. This is immediately followed up by the earth getting destroyed and a question, asked in broken English, of whether what happens is a dream or not.]]
