Cho Aniki (超兄貴, Super Big Brother) is a horizontally-scrolling Shoot 'em Up released in 1992 for the PC-Engine CD by Masaya.
Story
Botei, the unbeatable champion of the Intergalactic Bodybuilding Contest, have run dry on his protein supplies, so he decides to enslave various planets to set up factories of protein for his own use. In order to stop him, the Heavens send out his two champions, Idaten and Benten, who now must face Botei's Builder Army.
Gameplay
Players can choose between Idaten and Benten. One button is used for standard shots while the second button deploys screen-clearing bombs. By holding the shot button the character will build-up power, unleashing a powerful attack as the button is lifted. To add to the player's arsenal are helpers which act as options, protecting the player from damage. Whenever large enemies are defeated, they drop protein, which can be picked by either the player character or the options to power them up.
Each stage is divided into three segments, with a boss at the end of each, for a total of six stages.
