Games where you travel inside a meaty body

Post by J T »

Innerspace games. Jonah's stories. This is a weird topic, but it's almost Halloween and I want to play something like this because I always found these kind of levels creepy. I'm thinking of games like Abadox or Life Force where you spend some time in the game running through the internal organs of a creature of some sort. Mention whatever comes to mind, but I prefer retro games because when the graphics are too realistic this theme can make me a bit queezy. I felt like I wanted to ralf after playing the level in Prey that was inside an alien organism with sphincter doors.

Here is one you probably won't think about:

Earth Worm Jim has at least one level like that (apparently not on all ports though), if not more in the sequels.
Ecco the Dolphin as well, final level if I recall is inside a living Alien mothership, but that may not be quite correct.

Oh, you spend a lot of time inside Bowser in the aptly-titled Bowser's Inside Story.

Also, Level 8 of Contra is apparently inside the alien, given that you take down its beating heart.

Heavily inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's work, Quest for Glory IV has some of that going on. I can't go into the details because it would spoil, but it is both meaty and sphincter-y

I'm sure one of the Dr. Brain games has a challenge like what you're talking about.

Fantastic Voyage (2600)

One of the better 20th Century Fox games. You just have to imagine really hard...

Bonk's Adventure has a level inside a dinosaur too. There's a Loco Roco level where you go through a monsters stomach aswell iirc.
