«©NCSX» Samson and Adon are Super Big Brothers who have Hercules-ish physiques and powerful shots that spurt out from the tops of their shiny bald heads. Their bodies seem to glisten and ripple even when standing still. They're so strong and formidable that they don't need a spaceship when flitting around in outer space. Just a bikini brief will do, thank you very much.
NCS would describe Rei Cho Aniki as a shooter that's brimming with male homoerotic antics and devilish visuals that would put the blush on anyone. Almost anyone. The muscular he-men aren't the main characters in the game but serve more as side arms to the main hero Idaten or the heroine Benten. The little blue mascot seen on the upper left corner of the game cover is named Uminin. Upon starting a new game, players may choose either Idaten or Benten and then choose a sidearm. Idaten can select Adon or Samson while Benten gets to team up with a pair of cherubs that are way past their prime named Mika & Eru. The first stage is somewhat reminiscent of Gradius where enemies stream in from the right side of the screen and leave behind energy capsules when destroyed. Larger opponents appear and the end-level boss is a locomotive with arms and a face that's almost like Thomas the Tank Engine except he's surly and fires scattershot. A bonus soundtrack CD is included with the "First Print Edition" of Rei Cho Aniki. «Photos»
