He had one final game that year, that went by the name of Godzilla: Battle Legends on the Turbo Duo, a console that I had no idea even existed. And it was much, much better than the 1990 debut on that console. And by that, I mean nothing will ever beat the idea of Godzilla being able to power-slam King Ghidora in a manner that gives the laws of physics the atomic finger.Īlso in 1993, Godzilla was back on the Gameboy in Kaiju Godzilla. While SNES players were enjoying some living room action, arcade players got the chance to pump some quarters into a cabinet version of the iconic monster, controlling him ina fighting game that was absolutely ridiculous. It was rather neat back then, when we were more easily amused. An SNES game, it had players going one on one with various foes as he made his way through easily-demolished cities. Mothra, Hedorah, Baragon aand King Ghidorah also showed up, because Godzilla is a social force of destruction.įinally, 1993 heralded the kind of game that made you feel like an unpaid intern overheating inside a smelly rubber costume in Super Godzilla. In 1991, players once again got to control the mini-snacks known as the Earth Defence Force, in a new strategy game on the NES called Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters. And yes, it was absolutely terrible, with looping music that would make you want to destroy Tokyo. It was 2D to the max, but holy Rhodan, did it feel like you really were controlling a scaly force of nature.Ī new decade, a new Godzilla game! With the Gameboy proving to be a massive success, Godzilla emerged on that handheld console in 1990, in the aptly titled “Godzilla”. Released in 1988, this time players got the chance to tag team as Godzilla and Mothra in order to repel an invasion of Earth. The final Godzilla game of that weird and pointless decade was Godzilla: monster of Monsters.

And by that, I mean that the Kaiju King shared the spotlight in The Movie Monster Game, destroying cities alongside Mothra, the Blob and the Ghostbuster nemesis Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. It was also shorter than Godzilla’s temper.įast forward a year to 1985, and Godzilla: Gojira-Kun had you playing as Godzooky for who knows why on the MSX. In 1984, MSX players got Godzilla vs 3 Major Monsters, which had players facing down King Ghidora, Megalon and Kumonga.

Released on the Commodore 64, the debut game of Godzilla had you controlling the Japanese military in a strategy title that attempted to stop a Kaiju rampage.įor some reason, Godzilla also looked like an angry version of Barney the Dinosaur who knew how to moonwalk. The first big appearance of the King of Monsters happened way back in 1983, a decade best remembered for bad hair, bad clothing and telling the Ozone layer to go eat a dick. Most of them were terrible, but still! It’s worth a history lesson, innit? Over the years, ol’ Gojirra has been in plenty of video games.

He’s big, mean and wants to level a city, something which GTA players can relate to. SKREEEEEEEEOOOOOOOONK! No, that’s not the sound of my breaks failing, it’s the sound of Godzilla roaring! When you think about it, Godzilla is perfect material for a video game.
