Throwback Highlight- King of Monsters 2
Good morning!
Today we’re going to throwback to something that I played a lot as a little kid with my cousin, King of Monsters 2 for the Super Nintendo. Not only is it something I had a lot of fun playing, but it also had a part in helping me think of a name for this blog.
King of Monsters 2 was a side scrolling beat ‘em up game where you chose one of three monsters (Geon, Astro Guy, and Woo) to work to defend Earth against an alien threat. Of course I spent most of my time playing the two player competition mode. It was released for the Super Nintendo in 1993, so this game is as old as I am, and sometimes that’s unsettling to think about.
There’s not a lot to say about this game. It wasn’t very long, and it didn’t have anything that made it stand out from other games of its kind. The biggest thing for me is that I spent so much time playing this with my cousin that it really holds a special place in my heart. I always loved running around and smashing the game environment as a giant lizard monster. (Geon)
I mean, you can’t look at that image and say that this doesn’t look like fun.
Maybe some day I’ll find a good emulator for this game.
Until Later,
