Ok, i remember seeing a game once while visiting some friend, his dad was sick with the flu and was playing on their NES. we were waiting to have a go but he kept on playing. Asshole.
Anyway, it was a 2D platformer/shooter, basically like fighting an iron maiden cd cover. I don't remember anything about the protagonist, but i do remember the bosses.
He was fighting giant skeleton and zombieheads. They were firing larvae and insects and constantly changing form. There might have been some platforming between these bosses.
I remember it being totally insane and over the top, with pretty darn good graphics for the NES.

It's not monster party. The bosses in the game i'm looking for are bigger, and mostly just giant floating zombie/monster/skeleton heads.
god was this even on the NES? I'm beginning to doubt myself.
but it's not big enough.
the stage 1 boss is apporaching what i'm looking for (edit: only think gross backgrounds and more maggots & shit):
I remember that being a sidescrolling shooter, and he was fighting a giant skeletal head that tried to bite him if I recall. Sound familiar?
The game from TMNT was NARC.
The only other console it could have been was a megadrive. I owned a mastersystem and a snes and i've never seen or heard of the game, and probably went over to the dudes house to see something new.
No, it was a lot faster and more shoot-em uppy than that. it was also really gross.
like a lot of slime, skulls, maggots, zombieheads and what not.
I loved that game
Nevermind. Xaquin named it while I was off looking for the name of the game. Abadox is what I was thinking of.
edit: the left to right levels seem similar, but i'm not convinced.
edit: nope, still not enough giant floating head spewing forth maggots.
There weren't all that many side scrolling shooters on the NES cause it also reminds me of Wings of Wor on the Genesis/Megadrive
But, at this point, i'm about to give up.
Samourai zombie nation and Abadox are the closest contenders in terms of atmosphere, graphics and spritesize.
If anyone can think of a comparable game on the genesis/megadrive i'd be interested to hear about it.
Alien Soldier?
This game looks nuts!
this is the key part guys. fighting an iron maiden cover
It gets pretty bizarre:
