This classic fight goes back to the days of the original PlayStation. In the first Metal Gear Solid, the stealth assassin Solid Snake soon finds himself up against the levitating, mind-reading Psycho Mantis.

Nowadays this doesn’t have quite the same impact, but as a kid in the 90s, it was a total headtrip.
