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