KING OF THE MONSTERS


SYSTEM: MAME Arcade, SGEN, SNES
GENRE: Action Fighting

King of the Monsters is a fighting/wrestling game released by SNK in 1991 for arcades. It was later ported for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis by Takara. The game uses giant monsters that are reminiscent of Kaiju and tokusatsu characters.

Our planet in the near future... As our civilization advanced technologically and through the passage of time, the earth experienced a gradual decline... Unexpectedly, this vast earth came to a surprising halt. Suddenly, Super Monsters unimaginable to the human mind began to appear all over the world! This crazy universe gave birth to these quick transforming Super creatures!!!! Super Monsters that would mercilessly destroy building after building. Super Monsters that would ignore the frenzied panic of the people. No human military came close to their power! Some time later the Monsters began to ask themselves, “Who is the strongest one among us?”. And thus began the great power battle between the Monsters. Eventually, the ultimate natural destruction site, “The Land of Civilization,” became the final battleground for the 6 victorious Superpower Monsters.

Players choose one of six monsters (four in the SNES and SGEN) for battle, and two players can join forces to fight the monsters together. Battles end when one of the monsters is pinned for a three count or if time expires (in which case the player loses). The game consists of 12 total levels (8 in the SNES and SGEN) which takes place in 6 cities in a futuristic 1996 Japan. Each city is featured twice with the game beginning and ending in Tokyo. Other cities include Kyoto, Okayama, Osaka, Kobe and Hiroshima (the latter two are omitted from the SNES port. The Sega Genesis port only features Tokyo with the other cities being "Mega Port", "Dragon City", and "Castle City").
