Bio Hazard Battle
I had never heard of this game, but checked it out on a suggestion from Mew2gary. Bio Hazard Battle is a 2-d shooter with a slight twist in that your ship, like most of your enemies, is a living creature. There are four ships to choose from: Orestes, Electra, Hecuba, and Polyxena. Each is accompanied by a tiny, floating insect (called a seed) that will wield different attacks depending on the spore-like powerups you collect. As explained by the ending, these ships are the "bio-warriors", held in cryogenic sleep on a huge starship until their powers are needed. Their mission to make the polluted earth hospitable to humankind by kicking lots of mutant ass.

Globs in the last level that float and shoot at you and stuff like everything else.
Another dweller of the smoggy next-to-last level. Just a boring stationary glob.
Giant swarming viruses!
Sluggish, oversized sea-cucumbers encountered briefly in the final level. Impressive. I'M IMPRESSED.

Creeping sponges in the pollution and final stages that drop big, black bubbles on you.

Bigger jellyfish that accompany all the little ones in the sea.
You fight only a couple of these, all in the final stage. They float. Just like almost every other enemy. And when you're down here with me, you'll float too!
Worms from the last level.

Heebie jeebie underground maggot nests.
Big. Flies. Shoots.
Looks like a chunk of garbage, but appears to have wriggling flesh underneath. Slides along rails and shoots.
In the actual game these subterranean worms are constantly flickering and transparent.
Nicely animated flying caterpillar things.

The little rings on these guys fill with light as they flap and then they throw it at you.

BOSSES
This large slug burrows under the rubble of demolished buildings, spraying garbage at you from its periscope-like back.
Hard to see on the black background, I know...this giant black worm is a sort of miniboss. It creates smaller versions of itself and it's just *beautifully* animated. It slithers and contracts like a real leech.
The immobile forest boss attacks with its long neck while butterflies swarm from the hollow tree.
The floating boss of the underground caves is encountered in a tunnel lined with pulsating, bubbling brown muck. Using its tail, it tears of hunks of the stuff to cake its body with. The stuff must be blasted away before the boss can be harmed.
This sleek predator awaits you at the bottom of the sea. It spits trios of lance-shaped bursts and attacks while swarms of regular enemies swim by firing on you.
For one entire stage you fly alongside a huge airship. As sections are destroyed, more organic components are exposed until you come to the engines shown here. Eye-tipped worms sprout from all over the ship and the final segment sends out floating maggots similar to the giant "leech".
The boss of the polluted area is...er...lots and lots of hourglass and keychain-shaped metal bits that keep flying by and shooting. Pretty boring....
...But not as boring as the final boss! Blow away the tough sphere and you'll face not some wild, gruesome alien horror but some sort of a car battery. It rams into the walls causing spikes to drop down while you're attacked by little human-faced tadpole things. Bleh.
