HAHAHA!! That is a great story!!!! I like that your mother had a sense of humor about it, and that she gave you a sensible, honest, answer. IREM loves adding phallic imagery in the R-Type games. For instance, the giant battleship's engine room that keeps moving in and out, on stage 3 of R-Type and in the DLC of R-Type Final 2. Very suggestive looking, but a great level nonetheless. Excellent music for that fight too. Definitely in my top 3 favorite bosses in the whole series. I like that boss fight so much, I actually have it saved on my channel. Oh, and the boss of stage 2 in the original R-Type, also very suggestive looking in a creepy, disgusting way. It kind of has a pseudo, mutant, female genitalia appearance when you look at it a certain way. Very unsettling looking but also very neat in some odd way. The boys over at IREM are very creative in their designs. Extremely talented individuals for sure.

@@Tony_Cardoza Thanks for the reply and the thoughts. I think your musings are very profound! R-TYPE is filled with a lot of homages from different genres, but I think it succeeds in sublimating them into something original. In fact, I heard that the original proposal was over 1,000 pages long, but I can feel the strong will of the staff at the time that they would never let it end up as a mere parody.
