And of course the biggest and most horrifying part of Ecco the Dolphin's final boss... if you get eaten, you have to do the 5 minute autoscroller level before her again. It's a literal fate worse than death, since death would respawn you in her chamber. And remember, the final two phases involve attacking her jaw and then her exposed visage.

The entire Phantasy Star saga was completely and fully about the Dark Scifi Cosmic Horror. The first game ropes you in with the “it’s like fantasy meets sci-fi” with the swords and magic combined with space travel and such. Then pops out some horrific creatures here and there until you meet the final baddy(after you beat what you think was the final baddy, bejng a human wizard) which ends being a truly cosmic horror entity. That theme never went away with the later installments and it’s part of what gave it so much charm. Really wish they remade the 3rd and especially 4th game(4 is my fave) but they just remade the first two and even then they didn’t come to the west..

Mother Brain was scary as hell too 😆 Also Yoshi’s Island for being accidentally terrifying during the big fight with Super Bowser Jr. it’s like fighting Godzilla as he creeps closer and closer to the front of the screen.

I never made it to Vortex in Ecco, but I saw a pic of it in a gaming magazine from back in the day and was pretty surprised THAT was in a cutesy game like that. That was before I played Earthbound and dealt with that psychological horror at the end of it. I can see why Vortex would have haunted many people after encountering it for the first time.

That 80s/90s Fantasy/Horror aesthetic lends itself so well to making 16 bit games unsettling. Bringing to life the heavy lines & shading of the covers of those novels. The dragons, monsters, castles, dungeons, scantily clad damsels in distress, bloodshot eyes peering from beneath a mass of bandages/scar tissue, & heroes with an aversion to carbs. All those things that appealed to (mostly) boys between the ages of 10 and 16. Think of the way you felt the first time you picked up a Goosebumps book.

The backgrounds low-key add so much to these bosses. I like that you went in depth at the Actraiser 2 insect boss, and mentioning that Loki never even LEAVES the background in his fight. And then there's Vortex Queen, for whom there IS no background, and you're left wondering how BIG this thing actually is, and where the Hell you've actually gotten to where there's no end of the room in sight.

Fun fact about Ecco. The game has an infinite energy cheat. You can take damage indefinitely and, although the screen flashes red, you never die. One of the queen's main attacks is to try to inhale and eat Ecco. This rapidly removes Ecco's energy resulting in death With the cheat on, Ecco can still be eaten but can never die. You end up on an infinitely flashing red screen, with a dark uncontrollable shadow of ECCO infinitely taking damage - basically a living death until you restart the console. The most chilling softlock out there.

14:22 Years later, Final Fantasy XIV’s Stormblood expansion saw Exdeath return in it’s sorcerous knight guise as the fourth encounter(Out of 12) of it’s raid boss series, Omega. Fought in Deltascape 4.0, the demonic tree would test Warriors of Light that rose to challenge it, and in the Savage version of the battle, those Warriors of Light that manage to make it far enough(Which isn’t too difficult if you’re doing the fight unsynced) are treated(?) to an arguably equally unsettling full 3D rendition of Neo Exdeath. Nothing our intrepid heroes can’t handle, granted, but worth mentioning regardless. (In a similar vein, the Savage versions of the 8th and 12th encounters in Omega eventually see our heroes facing off against God Kefka and a freaky biomechanical nightmare version of Omega itself, respectively)

I know someone else had mentioned this already but yeah I sadly not just a thumbnail but seeing the boss again at the end of the video made me think of how disappointing the Ecco the dolphin episode for AVGN was. Definitely one of his worst episodes. I'm sorry but like granted I only watched my older brother play Ecco the dolphin back in the 90s I didn't really play it myself, but like I think it's pretty much common knowledge that the final boss is that terrifying alien head and it would have been incredible to hear the reaction from James when he sees it. I mean when it came to the earthbound episode he had so much to say including having so much to say about just the final boss alone. It would be really awesome to see his reaction to that scary alien head in Ecco the dolphin but he didn't even bother to even get that far in the game.

Brussel sprouts were the bane of my existence as a child, a true boss fight that must be contended with at the end of dinner. A monster so vile that even my run button wouldn't save me. You sir, are a monster. ;) Addendum- What I can't understand is what happened to Phantasy Star IV? It is roughly the same length as the first three games but took two years to come here. Further, the 90 dollar asking price flat doesn't make sense...at all. If anything it should have been in the 40 dollar range as it was an in-house Sega title. Before anyone says "the extra memory needed for the game necessitated the higher cost..." should go compare the size of Phantasy Star IV to Super Street Fighter 2. It is almost double (40 megs) the size that Phantasy Star IV (24 megs) was and came out one year earlier while costing significantly less. That is but one example...there are more.

I hated the massive bear boss from James Pond on the Amiga. Super creepy! The music was terrible too, really added to the unsettling vibe

For me, any spider boss creeps me out like the ones in Donkey Kong Country 3: Double Trouble (SNES) and the second boss in The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse (SNES).

Very nice video, great narration too. Just a small correction. I believe Seiken Densetsu 3 is a prequel, set 1000 years before the SoM.

I was into ecco for years. Yeah the vortex were creepy. When I was about 10, I always pictured it raising up in my backyard by my window. Hahaha. Now I kicked it's ass with no cheats. I actually met one of the musicians for ecco.

I spent about 7 hours straight on day on the pc version of Ecco. Had no clue what I was doing, but I had to see the end. The end was a mind fuck.

Final Fantasy V wasn’t released on SNES. It was a Super Famicom-only title. SNES got FF IV (released as FF II) and FF VI (as FF III). When FF VII came out for PS1, they finally decided to just make the numbers match going forward. Eventually, they did make the Japanese versions of II, III, and V available to western gamers.

We (America) did kinda get Trials of Mana in its 16-Bit form as part of Collection of Mana (2019), which contained the first three Mana Games - Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and the aforementioned game - all in their original formats. The original Zable Fahr battle was creepy, but in the remake - once the boss was defeated - the female head gives this God-awful shriek. Speaking of the Mana Series, I'm surprised that Thanatos / Dark Lich didn't make it on this list. BTW, Trials of Mana had their own Dark Lich, but it was a different character.

How Gigyas didn’t make the list I don’t know. Mother Brain from Super Metroid was also pretty grim. I would even say the final boss of Sonic 3 & Knuckles is quite disturbing; a huge dark robot with red glints in its eyes, fighting you so far above the earth that getting back seems impossible. The spritework on it is fantastic and they improved on it even more in Sonic Mania, having the entire background of the second to last level filled by the end boss machine.

Giygas is one of the main ones of the first video. You cannot even grasp the true nature of his attack, but it hurts you somehow..!
