It might be FROM a Boss Game (I assume, because why else would it be the photo), but it doesn't actually illustrate anything.

I think a collage might be our best option here. Either that or BUPKIS.

I concur: collage or BUPKIS. The current image is just a single boss, which doesn't illustrate the trope.

I think doing an image compilation of the Goopy Le Grande and Cagney Carnation boss fights with their locations on the map (which are very close to each other IIRC) might work, but I don't have the game so I can't really text it.

BUPKIS. A collage won't help, as that doesn't show that there are only bosses.

As already explained, a collage won't work.

BUPKIS. A collage would only illustrate that the game has a lot of bosses. Maybe a hubworld map where everything is listed as a boss level.

I'll give a [tup] to BUPKIS unless someone can provide a solid collage image that definitely shows a game only has bosses.

Maybe this? I dunno.

The whole game is a Boss Battle, so it sorta counts as the logical conclusion of the trope.

[up] That might work.

That or BUPKIS.

[up][up][up] The only part of that that illustrates "Boss Game" is the title "Endless Boss Fight", which is already small and will be even smaller at wiki-size. [tdown]

As much as I like Shadow of the Colossus, I admit the current isn't very illustrative, so I guess I'll join the BUPKIS chant.

BUPKIS from me as well (I've actually started a thread on this previously, even if it was partially because of a watermark).

Is there enough votes for BUPKIS?

I'm still down for a collage of bosses; it would illustrate the trope even if it can be misinterpreted, and the title and description would quickly clear up any confusion.

[up]I don't really agree. The vast majority of games have bosses and a collage wouldn't really tell it's a game that's mostly about them.

I agree on a collage but nobody has made one yet... Tentative BUPKIS until further notice.

I doubt a collage would do anything but showcase "games with bosses".

Harkins back to the thread I made months ago for Climax Boss, which had a collage as the image, but nothing in the collage was illustrative- and nor would this one be.
