I don't know if you noticed it, in most arcade games are protected from bosses, no matter what method we use to kill them, their bodies will not be destroyed.
Such as the familiar "Captain Iron Hook", "Dinosaur Kombat", "Fighting God Radiance", "Transformation into a Ninja", "Knights of the Round Table", "Double Dragon", "Thunderbolt Heroes", "Dungeons and Dragons", "Lightbringers", "Magic Sword"... Neither modern weapons nor medieval magic can cause any damage to the boss's body.
The bazookas, grenades and bombs in "Dinosaur Kombat" can directly blow other enemy soldiers into slag, but the most they can use against bosses is to blow up, and there will be no corpse explosion effect.
This is the game's protection mechanism for bosses! The only scene in the game that is more bloody is from the skinhead butcher scene in the second level. This guy is dissecting a poor stegosaurus. (I have to be dissected hundreds of times a day!) ）
Although the boss has a protection mechanism, it cannot escape the plot killing.
The eight-level boss Fessenden Dire Beast, after being defeated, in order to pull the protagonist group to death, through his own corpse explosion, blowing up the entire underground base. This is also the only boss in the game that does not have bones!
(This can't help but remind me of the plot in the Thunderbolt Puppet Play, where many people choose to self-detonate when they are bloodied, even if they don't pull the boss into the water, they have to keep their teammates)
Some time ago, I played a relatively enjoyable revision, all the arcade characters gathered together, the boss is more sad without any protection, and can be burst. This situation is still relatively rare in the original game!
Today, the editor will reminisce with you about classic arcade games and see which bosses end up with no bones.
"Transforming into a Ninja"
How many complete humans are there throughout Transformation Ninja? There are only female ninja Brurett and the behind-the-scenes boss Dr. Wang!
Other characters who participate in the battle are either robots, prosthetics and variants. Even if the protagonist "Kui" is a half-prosthetic body
It is precisely because of this that there is no protection against any miscellaneous soldiers and bosses in the game.
Bosses explode or disintegrate in place when defeated, whether robots or lifeform bosses.
The final boss of the game is a parasite in Lucifer's body, which directly turns into a puddle of meat after being beaten. But it doesn't feel bloody at all.
After the parasite was eliminated, Lucifer's body died with it.
In fact, Dr. Wang, like the four protagonists, has the ability to possess bodies. It's just that the protagonist team can only possess the miscellaneous soldiers, while Dr. Wang can possess Lucifer and become the final boss. Because Dr. Wang is a human being, he has also become the only boss in the game to keep a full corpse.
"Zero Group Special Attack Team"
Zero Strike Team is a relatively alternative arcade game of the early nineties. The biggest highlight of the game is that there are many boxes and random props. With luck, you can burst food and bazooka in the chest, greatly reducing the difficulty of the game.
What's even more interesting is that any boss will explode in place after being killed, bursting a lot of props and food. If you move a little slower, the bonus item quickly disappears into "10 points", but fortunately the food does not disappear.
The boss explodes and dies:
It is precisely because of this that every time we see the following boss, it is more "gratifying".
The combat effectiveness is not to mention, after death, one or two pieces of food will burst out, and if you are lucky, there will be a large blood replenishment prop.
The helmets, armor and weapons on their bodies can be snatched and used, and the lethality is relatively strong. Therefore, for players, this boss is completely given for nothing!
There is a limit to the number of props in the game, whether it is playing boxes or bosses, you must pick up the props as soon as possible, otherwise the number will not come out.
As shown below: Kill the boss at the same time, and the props that burst out are very limited
Therefore, it is best to kill one by one, and kill another one after picking up the props. In this way, you can basically get enough food to fill up with blood.
In the end, the boss is more powerful, even if you die, you have to explode three times, and each time you can burst a large number of bonus props.
"Famous General"
Several of the protagonists in the famous generals can destroy the enemy's body.
The mummy's dagger is very special, it can dissolve everything, and the miscellaneous soldiers encountered will be corrupted as long as they are stabbed to death by the dagger;
The ninja's electric blade can cut off all substances, and any enemy soldier who is hit cannot be spared;
The Captain's Spitfirer is the only weapon in the game that can completely incinerate the enemy.
Although the game has some protection for bosses, it is not so thorough. On the contrary, it protects the two electric women, and only the captain's flame is effective on their bodies.
I don't know if you found out, although the captain's flame can burn the corpse of the enemy soldier, it cannot destroy the body of the boss. In addition to the clone level, other bosses will remain completely dead even if they are burned to death.
The same goes for mummies, daggers have an effect on clones, other bosses cannot dissolve.
But Ninja Sho can break the rules. As long as you slash them with a knife, you can directly turn them into two halves. Except for the final boss, all bosses are not spared.
"Midnight Killing"
The enemies that appear in the game are zombies, zombies, mummies, vampires and cyborgics.
And the three protagonists also have a great origin: Chinese Taoist priest, vampire hunter, and ghost hunter (bounty hunter).
All enemies will turn into meat mud after being killed, fortunately, the game quality in the nineties could not show this kind of blood, otherwise it is estimated that the game will not even pass the review!
After the boss is killed, it also turns into a puddle of meat mud.
Ghost bosses such as mummies are directly dissipated after being killed.
So what other bosses in the game die more alternatively?
"Dragon King Warrior", the wizard directly turned into a frog after being defeated. For years, I didn't know if he was dead or not. There are also three-headed dragons in the game, which are cut down one by one by the protagonist group.
In Blade Lord, all bosses explode after being defeated.
The death effects of "Superman of Sonic" are all doppelgangers after falling to the ground. Only the bosses of the four levels were unlucky and were turned into frogs by the boss behind the scenes, and then swallowed in one gulp.
"Violent Storm" is an action puzzle game with a strong hip-hop style. Although the game is more violent, whether it is a boss or a miscellaneous soldier, you can keep the whole corpse after being killed. Only the four level bosses are slightly unlucky and fly into molten iron after being defeated. This should be a tribute to "Terminator 2"!
The final bosses of Violent Storm, Legend of the Hungry Wolf, and Kombat Whirlwind all fell from the building, and they won't die as long as there is a sequel.
"Three Kingdoms" should be regarded as a cruel game in the early years! Eighty percent of bosses can be taken the first level, and more than 60 percent of bosses can smash the upper body. At that time, I liked to choose Zhang Fei the most, and he punched all the way out, and there were wrecks all over the ground.
In "King of Warkings", all bosses will be crushed after being annihilated. Monsters in the Western magical world can be resurrected as long as there are corpses, so they must die completely!
The final boss of "Evil City", after being defeated, will be broken off by the protagonist, and the whole body will rot and die.
The sea monster in "Journey to the West" has always been a boss I admire more, and he swallowed his brother when he knew that he couldn't win the battle, and his strength was greatly improved, but he was still not the opponent of the protagonist group. After being defeated again, he died because his body could not withstand the explosion of this force.
The elite monsters and bosses of "Diablo 2" said: Please don't send druids to devour, ask for faces.
Although arcades have become a piece of history in the development of the game, they have not been forgotten for many years, but have always been sought after by nostalgic players.
Looking back again, we realized that the carefree time in the arcade was really too luxurious
