Do the MuscleCho Aniki is a series of side-scrolling
Shoot 'Em Ups (and one fighting game) made by Masaya and produced by NCS Corp (although there was a recent shift of designers). Gameplay is pretty conventional and a lot like
Darius. Really, the series only has one claim to fame:
It is incredibly,
incredibly Macho Camp.
Playing
Cho Aniki is a journey through a long, bizarre psychosexual dream, featuring the main character Samson, a musclebound bodybuilder with a hole in his head that he shoots bullets out of, and such recurring characters as Adam, a giant naked man in a saucer that looks like a moon.
The series hasn't had many releases outside of Japan, but one of the older games is available through the Wii Virtual Console and the newest one can be downloaded onto the PSP.
Still, for the love of God, read
this
and discover just how bizarre the whole thing is. You won't believe us if we just tell you. (Note, however, that there's a small error: what they call the first game is actually the second. The first featured similar imagery, but the leads were a more standard action-game hero type and his
girlfriend - Samson and Adon were
defecting aliens who became the leads in subsequent games.)
