Play King Of The Monsters Online

King of the Monsters came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, published by SNK. It was part of that wave of arcade ports on the SNES where you got these big, loud games scaled down for your living room. This one stood out because it was a wrestling game, but you were a giant monster destroying cities while you fought.

You pick one of several giant monsters and battle another in a destructible city environment. Your main goal is to pin your opponent three times to win the match. The signature mechanics are the grappling system, where you latch onto the other monster to perform throws and slams, and the city destruction itself; you can pick up buildings and power poles to use as weapons or throw your foe through them. The pacing is fast and chaotic, with the difficulty coming from the aggressive computer opponent who constantly pressures you. It feels like a messy, satisfying brawl where you're just trying to get the upper hand in all the chaos.
