Together Retro: King Of The Monsters

Who's playing this month?

Pencil me in. I'm going to give it a try.

I'll be giving it another try. I played the game briefly a couple of years ago, and I remember feeling like the controls sucked.

This months game comes at a great time as my gf recently got 'Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters' and it's really put me into a Godzilla / Rampage kinda mood.

Also it's a neogeo game which makes it awesome.

King of the Monsters brings me lot's of nostalgia from my misspent youth in the arcades. I loved the novelty of a wrestling game between giant monsters. I would always play as the giant King Kong look-alike gorilla (this certainly wasn't the first video game to draw inspiration from King Kong). It was great fun to "accidentally" destroy a building while fighting another monster.

I seem to remember the kids on Nick Arcade playing a variant of this game with different stages.

I've been using Astroguy and I've gotten through (what I presume) is the first wave of enemies. Is there some science to using special moves in this game or should I just turn the turbo on and have at it?

Come now noise, Ive told you several times Ive played the vast majority of the USA released GBA catalog.

[noiseredux]

...I know.

ANYWAY yes, Godzilla Domination is awesome, and it really is basically King Of The Monsters with better controls and the real licensed Godzilla characters. So yeah. It rules.

I actually have a pristine CIB copy.
