Of all the genres in the gaming world, SHMUPS have the toughest bosses. I don't care what anyone says; RPG's have tough bosses, FPS's have tough bosses, and fighters have some tough bosses. But SHMUP bosses can fill the entire screen with a hail of missiles, lasers, bullets, flames, mines, blasts, orbs, you name it.
What are some SHMUP bosses that have given you a serious headache?
This is one of the many impossible bosses found on Konami's Gradius III. Not only do the lasers pin you into a small space, but the boss has the audacity to use conventional attacks as well! Definitely a cheap shot!
