In those games with science fiction and magic as the background, there will always be some more alternative monsters, such as familiar ones: mutants, zombies, aliens, life mechs, insects... As well as all sorts of monsters.
Among these monsters, there are more types of bugs. No matter how bold people are, they will also have an inexplicable sense of fear when they see unknown insects, and games can amplify this fear infinitely.
Insects that were once trampled to death by us have huge size in the game and can even completely change the food chain.
What is the most seen bug in arcade games? It should be centipedes, beetles, spiders and the like!
But I don't know why, the first thing I think of when I think of bugs is sandworms, maybe because of too much contact! Every time I see them, I am not afraid, but I have some strange expectations in my heart. For example, "Mitrod" in "Metroid" is a very special lifeform.
Today, the editor will reminisce with you about classic games and take a look at those impressive bugs
Centipedes
In the early years, there was a popular flying shooter "Insect World" in the arcade, in which all the villains appeared were insects. The biggest highlight of the game is the "tail", the protagonist's plane can eat a variety of bombs and props with different effects, and when you eat it, it will become a tail and follow behind.
The centipede in the sixth level of the game is a big difficulty, it will dive underground at any time, and then suddenly appear.
It's hard to imagine that games in the eighties were already able to do so well. The vivid centipede used to be the shadow of many players!
The most difficult centipede essence comes from "The Legend of Genpei Demon Quest".
Why do you say that? Because it is invincible, it cannot be killed at all. But its actions can directly affect your process.
The difficulty of the game is very large, but at the time it was "normal difficulty", and many people could complete the level in one life. According to the introduction, this centipede is the same as the big hundred foot in PS4 "Renwang".
There is another bug in the game, the "Worm Worm", which is also invincible, but we can step on its back and jump high.
The centipede that took away the most heads is from "Journey to the West". The bosses in the game are all youkai, but the real fear is the Hundred Eyes Demon.
This centipede essence, not only made Sun Wukong suffer a big loss in the novel, but also is relatively difficult in the game, and is a very rare villain who combines speed and strength.
As a result, no one dared to try it for a long time.
The most domineering centipede comes from a level boss in "Axe King Warrior"! This centipede is more similar to the centipede elder in One Punch Man
The most difficult centipede in history is from Devil May Cry 3. It was really collapsed by this centipede.
Maybe I didn't find a way to do it at that time, and it was difficult to hit it on the ground. And this centipede can fly again, drill holes fast, and many times it has run away before reacting
The most influential centipede should be the Dragon God from "Blood Legend"! I wonder if you ever asked it for equipment back then?
Centipedes are often used for leveling in RPG games, poisonous and will not burst out anything good, but the experience points are sufficient.
spider
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of spiders is Spider Solitaire, a mini-game that has accompanied me through countless boring workdays. Spider Solitaire, the way to play is to stack the cards separately, swinging longer and longer, hence the name.
Spiders have a relatively large influence in the history of arcade games, when game developers used spiders to weave webs as the prototype and created a new way of playing: spider scribbling. It will be a fond memory for players of that era.
So, what does a spider look like in other games?
The cruelest spider, Spider-Man from Violent Busters. This is a monster mutated by the Doctor through the combination of spider and human genes, and it is very powerful in combat, and it is the only monster in the game that has a second-kill skill. As long as it is caught, it will turn into white bones.
When the spider is about to grab someone, it must use tumbling to avoid a disaster, and then slowly output.
The most irritating spider from "Transform into a Ninja"
These humanoid spiders are too short to hit many attacks, but they hit us with relatively high damage. Many people are obviously full of blood when they come here, but they are more than half of them killed by these spiders, and the pressure to fight the boss is huge.
After 2006, the popular shooting game "Jungle Adventure".
Nowadays, you can still see in many game cities, the game is equipped with light guns, and the seats of synchronized game scenes, giving people an immersive and immersive feeling. The insects in the game are larger than humans, and the whole process is more tense, three coins to play once.
The spider with the most exaggerated visual effects is from "Contra 4".
It is estimated that many players were already scared to give up resistance when they saw this picture! With this body type and this terrain, we have no possibility of survival! Fortunately, there is still a place to hide in the game scene.
The monsters that appear in the "Contra" series are generally fused with the genes of the Heavenly King Ghost. And these monsters that appear in "Contra 4" are cultivated.
I remember playing a game called "Magic Domain" back then, which was always free to play without recharging, and as a result, I was abused like a dog at the bottom of my life. I remember that I went to cut spiders when I was fine, just to burst out a "flying slash".
In the RPG games we are familiar with, centipedes, frogs, spiders and snakes should appear the most often!
Either the lowest miscellaneous soldiers, or powerful bosses. The poisonous lady in "Immortal Sword 1" has the same amount of blood as Baiyue, and she can't die at all.
Other bugs
The games with bugs as the background in arcade games all seem to come from flying shooters.
"Insect Hime" released by CAVE that year gained a good popularity. All the monsters that appear in it are giant bugs, including the beetle on which our heroine rides.
Just one level of bosses is enough to deter all players.
In another flying shooter "Dragon Knight", a large number of insects also appear, among which the giant dragonfly is the most conspicuous.
There are also many older creatures in the game.
The editor's graphics and text mainly focus on arcade games and red and white machines, hoping to evoke the good memories of this generation.
