As the tidal wave of the fifty fifth thread crashes towards you, you see the glimmer of a monstrous shadow within the water...
Mainline Entry 01 - King of Monsters
Formats: Neo Geo, Super NES, Wii, Playstation 2, PSP, Switch and Mega Drive
Arriving in 1991, this SNK title merged fighting and wrestling genres to bring Godzilla style city crushing battles to gamers. Six monsters are at your command as you pummel your opponent before trying to pin them to the ground for a win. Facing off in Japanese cities you'd work your way through your rivals but not your critics as despite making something of a recognisable name for itself the game was poorly received.
Mainline Entry 02 - King of Monsters 2
Formats: Neo Geo, Mega Drive and Super NES
Arriving the very next year, the sequel changed things up massively by pulling back to three of the monsters and changing genre into a walk along beat em up. Now the monsters fought to defend Earth from an invading creature, the set up broadly the same for the MD version that reverted back to being a fighter. However, the series still failed to win over the masses and the short run ended here.
