Alright!!! King of the Monsters. One of my top five titles ever for the Neo-Geo AL82. I was there at launch date at my local Dairy Queen restaurant in Paramus, NJ back in 1991 to play this game with my brother. The line to play it was 10 players long and having their coins on the machine reserving their spot to play. Me and my brother always played on Co-Op, and having a blast doing so bro. Our local distributor made a huge amount of money with this game and rightfully so with this gem. Interestingly, I use to have discussions with the distributor of these Neo-Geo MVS units. He would explain to me that the MVS kits that they insert into the machines were not anywhere at all cheap. The cost for them were quite astronomical going around the four figure range depending on the game. He said there's a reason why you're better off buying an AES where the game carts were around $200-$250 each. After hearing that, I can understand way the Neo-Geo was quite expensive. And all the good reasons on doing so. 8^) Thank you for sharing this with us AL82. Always a pleasure seeing you in action. 8^) Anthony...
I'm sorry for my bad English. Until now, in this game melee weapons (biting Zeon) lost to CP in repeated hit competitions, and only ranged weapons could win. "In other words, Atom with a powerful long-range weapon is the strongest!", but Mr. Geon is strong.
The second one is better imo because it is more of a side scroller beat'em up and there is much more to do like there is more varied locations and the art and sprite work is a huge step up from the first one.

Geon > Godzilla
Woo > King Kong
Poison Ghost > Hedorah
Rocky > Daimajin
Beetle Mania > Megalon
Astro Guy > Ultraman
GODZILLA meets RAMPAGE.
The art works of this game, especially the graphics, look absolutely amazing 😺👍.
I won't lie, the station collapse ending was a pretty smart and different move, so points to the devs for coming up with that.
it's basically WWF WrestleFest with monsters.
The BGM in the 1st stage used to scared the crap out of me as a kid😂
Me too XD
Woo was based on King Kong and Geon was based on Godzilla
"Destraction 30%"
In King of the monsters snk they forgot to add two characters like Bulga (the giant turtle) and Dino Mech.
This one has 8. The SNES and Genesis version only had 3 monsters

Really crazy vídeo game ☺️
Beats switch for sure!!

Sequel is definitely closer to a sideways brawler and feels slicker, but the grappling still has big problems (video soon!)
This game is great, but any reason they didn’t give that reporter/announcer a few more takes or rewrites? “Everybody get away right away?” Lol.
Voice Acting budget
I'm a pro at this game don't wanna sound like I'm a five year old but yeah
