First game to feature boss warnings

According to Official Guinness Records,

Now a firm staple of 2D shooters, the first game to feature an alert for an upcoming boss fight was the horizontally-scrolling shmup Darius, with its legendary signal: "WARNING! A HUGE BATTLESHIP...IS APPROACHING FAST". Such alerts have since been adopted by the likes of Ikaruga (Treasure, 2001) and now appear on T-shirts and other gaming merchandise.
