Neo Geo MVS

King of the Monsters

Players get to choose any one of six monsters (four in the 16-bit ports) 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- the player first must defeat all six monsters, with the last monster being oneself, but in a different palette. Then the player must defeat the six monsters again, in the same order, but this time in different cities.Mega criticised the game, awarding it a score of 10%, with Andy Dyer making the comment unforgivably bad. There should be laws to protect us from crud like this.
