Hey Poor Player's Francis DiPersio writes - "Flash back to February of 1995. Ai Cho Aniki, the second game in developer Masaya’s over-the-top Cho Aniki (Super Big Brother) series, flexed its way onto the PC Engine in Japan, delivering a staggeringly strange blend of testosterone-tinged horizontal shooter action to NEC’s 8bit powerhouse. While the original Cho Aniki put players in control of the hero and mystical maiden duo Idaten and Benten as they soared through a variety of stages, blasting biomechanical baddies and dodging bullets in a relatively conventional shooter, the sequel instead opts to squeeze players into the skin-tight swim trunks of the musclebound brothers Adol and Samson as they embark on what can only be described as the most gloriously homoerotic space shooter in homoerotic space shooter history. "
This reviewer certainly gave this game about muscular, sweaty, nearly naked men a pretty good score!
Some games are unique and innovative, while others are just flat out bizarre.
awesome news, fingers crossed for Tobal No 2
Then I want DonPachi!
Hope they bring over PC Engine Archives too. I want Winds/Lords of Thunder.
I lold @ "Gaiaseed, a spaceship shmup, and Cho Aniki, a shmup that is arguably a game about gay body builders who are essentially flying penises. No, I'm not joking. They are bald and have holes in the tops of their heads which they spray white "bullets" out of."
Einhander?
