An alien army from the Fifth Dimension has invaded our solar system. Led by Bosc the Terrible, they have already conquered Uranus, and their next target is Earth. Only the great Captain Blasto can stop this invasion and free Uranus.Blasto is a third-person shooter released in 1998 for the original PlayStation.

Multiple Endings: Downplayed; if you rescue every babe before the final two levels, the climactic dialogue between Blasto and Bosc will start with them commenting over the fact that the former is in his skivvies. Other than that, the ending is practically unchanged.

 Blasto (Video Game) / int_28951c74
comment
Top-Heavy Guy: Blasto’s upper torso to lower body proportions can only be described as preposterous even by top heavy standards, with a hugely exaggerated chest, shoulders, and biceps, but comically tiny hands and legs... and that chin. Even with his stance braced for balance, you get the feeling he's going to tip over any second now.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Upon defeat, Bosc tries to bargain his way out of what's coming to him by trying to bribe Blasto with riches, promises of power, and women. The last one momentarily tempts Blasto, but he ends up refusing Bosc's offer.

comment
Big Red Button: Pressing a large button with the sign "Do Not Press" displayed above it will result in Blasto getting disintegrated by a lightning bolt. In a slightly later section of the game, a second, identical button is encountered, with the same "Do Not Press" sign. If, against all logic, you fall for the same trick and press this one... a bunch of health and powerups spawn nearby.
