No invisible walls preventing you from using a double-turbo wall-bounce to get to the first objective because you were meant to practice pressing the A button. We’re lucky we didn’t get Wonky Chair Man or Coffee Stain Master.Ĭut Man isn’t a threat but an action-packed exemplar of how games used to teach you things. But Capcom was so dedicated to violent danger that it made a man whose only function was “running with scissors.” Either that or the development team only had six bosses to build, and they still clearly sat stuck, looking around the office for something they could use. Or maybe he’s just distracted by the way his stage features huge bolts flying across the screen to screw into nuts, meaning he lives in a vast collection of robot pornography.Ĭut Man! The robot based on a random object in the very first game when there was no excuse for having run out of cool ideas. He could only deliver an ass-kicking if you’d been called away from your controller. He fires three homing tops but they move together with all the speed and ferocity of second-class postage. And Top Man seems to know this, making sure you can kill him so that he doesn’t have to live with the shame. Even R.O.B., the worst robot Nintendo ever built, could spin tops. Top Man is a robotic killer revolving around a toy that isn’t just less powerful than robots, it’s less powerful than the Nintendo console the game was being played on. How many games would it take before you based one on a spinning top? For most humans, or even gorillas trained to recognize mechanical objects, this number has at least seven digits (or “ook ook OOOK >throws bananas<").įor Capcom it was 3. Imagine your childhood dream coming true! You’ve got a job designing badass robot villains for your favorite video game.
