King Of The Monsters

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             King of the Monsters series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    SNK/Takara

TYPE:             Fighting
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Are you a fan of Japanese monster movies?  Did you ever
                  wonder what it would be like to be thirty feet tall,
                  destroying everything in your path and duking it out
                  downtown with the competition?  Now you can in these
                  ports of the two popular arcade games by SNK.

IMPRESSIONS:      Slant-perspective fighters that remind me of pseudo-3D
                  versions of Rampage, with all the delicious fun that the
                  comparison invites.  Now if it weren't for those little
                  JSDF vehicles running interference now and again, you
                  might be able to beat your foe with ease - but hey!
                  You're one of the big boys now!  I'll just put my foot
                  over this pesky little tank, and - STOMP!  Hey, fighter
                  jock!  Try my 15-ton backhand for size!  WHACK!  Hours
                  and hours of enjoyably mindless mayhem.

VARIATIONS:       King of the Fighters (1993 - set in 1996, this gives you
                    your choice of four monsters, with all of downtown
                    Tokyo as your battleground)
                  King of the Fighers 2 (1994 - three years later, the
                    three surviving monsters get to deal with six alien
                    monsters at various sites around the world)
