KOTM 3

"King of the Monsters 1 and 2", also known as "King of the Monsters 1/2: Combination of Evil!" is a fighting or wrestling game released on May 25 of 1992 by SNK. It is a sequel to both of 1991 and 1992's SNES / SEGA Mega Drive / Arcade game "King of the Monsters". In this game three of the previous game's surviving monsters return and battle across the Globe against giant alien monsters that threaten the Earth! The game was later ported to the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis by Takara. This sequel takes the original in a new direction by using three of the monsters from the original game as heroes in a side-scrolling beat 'em up. Geon, Astro Guy, and Woo all upgrade themselves to defend Earth against an alien threat led by a creature called Famardy. The game also features a 2-player competition mode. The Genesis version, however, plays more similarly to the first game. It is a 1v1 fighter with less emphasis on grapples and more on special attacks with complex inputs. All boss monsters (except Famardy) are now playable and have expanded move-sets and characters from both games. In 1996, Monsters suddenly appeared all over the world. They were immensely powerful, and waged a fierce and violent battle against each other, alt but wiping out civilization in the process. For three years the people of Earth watched, helpless, as the Monsters wreaked destruction on the planet, until only the three strongest Monsters were left alive. There was no-one Strong enough to oppose the three Monsters anywhere in the world. Finally, in 1999, a force equal to the Monsters appeared on Earth at last. But it wasn't what the humans had hoped and prayed for - it was an alien force, which came to invade the Earth. The Aliens were incredibly powerful, and stationed their strongest warriors throughout the world to attack and conquer the Monsters. When they discovered the Aliens, the Monsters bellowed out ferocious cries of rage and joy, and threw themselves instinctively upon their next opponents. The time had come to wipe out a new group of enemies, and decide once and for all which Monster was the true "King of the Monsters"! Humans are no longer the masters of the Earth - and now the next battle is about to begin... (Also, Atomic Guy was now replaced with a curvy female named Atomic Gal, alongside with the other male monsters being switched with their hourglass female counterparts. There also is another female character, which is a Transformer Decepticon called "Hooligan", who has a blue F-14A Grumman Tomcat for an alternate mode.)
