Who doesn't love their boss? Okay, some of us don't. Okay, a lot of us don't. Most of us would love to go Stone Cold Steve Austin and beat up our boss. Instead, we have to settle for beating bosses in video games, and when it's done right, it can be the best part of a video game. Testing the culmination of your skills and abilities, the narrative building to a point and then the cathartic release ... or maybe the boss is just really big and cool-looking. Over 40-plus years, there's been a lot of memorable boss fights. But what do Ashley and Jed consider to be the best boss fights from each console generation? There's only one way to find out: listen to the next episode of First Gen Gamers!

Only one way to find out!
