Descpription:
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 Japanese cities of
the first game have been abandoned in favor of more generic areas: American City,
French City, Grand Canyon, Desert, Ocean, Volcano, and Hideout.
The King of the Monsters series was mostly forgotten following the second game. However,
it briefly received some recognition in 2005, when SNK Playmore released Neo Geo Battle
Coliseum, a fighting game featuring many of the company's popular characters.
Cyber Woo is featured as one of the playable characters, although in a much smaller
form and controlled by a human. Also, Yuki and Ai, two other characters in the game,
have a combined attack where they can change into Atomic Guy for a brief period of time.
