Bio Force Ape is a side-scrolling beat 'em up created by SETA for the NES. Since its cancellation in 1992, it became a famous case of Vaporware.When a scientist and his kid are kidnapped by a mysterious villain, their pet monkey tries to save them. Unfortunately, the villain kicks the monkey and makes off with the people. The monkey then drinks some kind of super-potion that turns him into a musclebound, ape-faced, pro-wrestling humanoid. He then sets off to rescue his owners from the hordes of animal-costumed thugs and breakdancers.The game was subject to an elaborate hoax in 2005 when a person named Paul Brown announced to the Digital Press forum that he had found a working prototype. After a Flame War erupted over whether he should dump the ROM or sell it, Paul posted a picture that revealed that he had smashed the cartridge due to all the problems it caused. The hoax started a small meme involving a supposed Blob Monster enemy that was made out of butter.In 2010, however, the Vaporware website Lost Levels were notified by Paul Brown himself of a REAL Bio Force Ape prototype being sold on Yahoo! Japan. After buying it, the team dumped the ROM and released it onto the Internet.More info can be found here. Digital Press hoax thread can be read here.Not to be confused with Bio-Meat: Nectar. | |

Boxing Kangaroo | |
Bio Force Ape (Video Game) / int_17302c5c | comment |
Boxing Kangaroo: The kangaroo men are an odd example, appearing to stand up on their tail to fight you with kicks. But it's actually a man in a bizarre kangaroo suit who fights with punches, with his arms where the kangaroo's legs would be, and his own legs inside the tail. | |

Take That, Audience! | |
Bio Force Ape (Video Game) / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: The Butter Monster screenshots were actually making fun of the Flame War over the game. The Butter Monster represented the collectors wanting Paul to sell the prototype, while the "Eat Communism!" face punch represented the forumers wanting him to dump the ROM (the collecters kept calling them "communists"). | |

Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: For no apparent reason, you are fighting a bunch of guys in animal costumes and the occasional breakdancer. And the Big Bad has nuclear missiles for some reason. And he can turn into a palette swap of the ape. | |

Bio Force Ape (Video Game) / int_7a87fa80 | comment |
Animal-Themed Superbeing: Most of the bad guys you face seem to be these. Two of the weirder ones include a crocodile man whose suit is worn with his legs inside the jaws and his head inside the long tail, which he uses as a whip; and a kangaroo man whose legs are inside the tail, with his arms where the kangaroo's legs would be. | |

Bio Force Ape (Video Game) / int_e8e0a952 | comment |
Obvious Beta: Even though the entire game is playable, it's pretty obvious that it's only a prototype. It has only three levels and two bosses, one of which is ridiculously easy. The graphics for the title and end screens have considerably less quality than the rest of the game. The Big Bad has no defining features other than being completely green, and resembles a placeholder character. | |
