The Movie Monster Game

Overview

The Movie Monster Game is a 1986 computer game by Epyx. It was released for the Apple II and Commodore 64.

Play the monster in Epyx's follow up to Crush, Crumble and Chomp! Smash London, Paris, New York, Moscow or San Francisco with your choice of one of 6 giant monsters, including the officially licensed Godzilla, Tarantula or a Robot. Five different plots including escape, rescue, or destroy a landmark. Pesky tiny humans try to stop you with tanks, jets, missiles, etc. While all these basic thematic elements of Crush, Crumble and Chomp! have been carried over, the game does not use the same strategy game orders system for movement of your monster. Instead, you can now freely move your monster around the city, in arcade game style, rather than having to enter individual key commands for each movement segment. Single player only.

Monsters include:

Godzilla (officially licensed)

Mr. Meringue (parody of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters)

Mechatron (parody of a Transformer)

The Glob (parody of The Blob)

Sphectra (parody of Mothra)

Tranatus (a giant tarantula based on Kumonga)
