King of the Monsters 2

King of the Monsters 2

Released1994
King of the Monsters 2 on the Sega Genesis is a slightly different game than the original Neo Geo version. While the original let you play one of three different monsters to go through side-scrolling beat'em-up stages and fight (non-playable) monster as boss enemies, the Genesis version was re-worked into a one-on-one fighter similar to the first King of the Monsters game. Apart from Farmardy, all characters from the Neo Geo version are playable. To win, the player must defeat all other monsters and a clone of the played monster in a fight. The matches take place in areas built from the original levels, and feature destroyable landscapes and secondary enemies, both of which can be smashed to gain points and power-ups.

About This Game

Three years have passed since the carnage of the first King of the Monsters tournament, and only three colossal creatures have survived what historians now call the King of the Monsters Massacre. More powerful and dangerous than ever, these monsters face a new threat in 1999: a colossal alien entity and an army of extraterrestrial minions bent on taking the Earth. The surviving monsters must prove they are still the most fearsome forces on the planet.
