Two days have passed since the underseaatomic blast returned him to life, yet he cuts through the sea inone, unerring direction. Finally the city appears and he quickenshis pace. Before this hour he was without a name, but after todayhe will forever be remembered as ..."CUT!...Quiet on the set!""O.K. listen up!. ... hey, Godzilla!. .. this is a <strong>monster</strong> <strong>movie</strong> we'remakin' here not a Gidget flick, understand?

MONSTER BACKGROUNDYou've seen all the <strong>monster</strong> <strong>movie</strong>s from Godzilla to BambiMeets Frankenstein. You 've won every "kill the <strong>monster</strong>" <strong>game</strong>ever made. You've zapped, fried, bombed and bamboozledevery <strong>monster</strong> you've ever met. Now it's time to be a <strong>monster</strong>.Make your selection carefully. Try each one on for size, and pickthe <strong>monster</strong> that's right for you. Each <strong>monster</strong> has specificcharacteristics. Strength indicates the ability to inflict damage,toughness is the ability to withstand damage, and recovery is therate at which the <strong>monster</strong> recovers from damage. (Refer toMASTER MONSTER CHART for comparison on specificcharacteristics.)GodzillaAwakened from prehistoric slumber by a nuclear explosion offthe coast of Japan, Godzilla first terrorized Tokyo on the silverscreen thirty years ago. Starring in sixteen films, the fourhundred-foot tall dinosaur has battled <strong>monster</strong>s, robots, aliensand spies. Tested to the limits of his gargantuan endurance, healways manages to save the world.Godzilla's characteristics dictate a simple strategy. Strengthequals destructive power. Don't hesitate to use it. Smash citiesunder your mighty feet. Bellow radioactive fire! Atomizehelicopters in mid-air! As Godzilla, you won't count speed as anasset. But you'll definitely throw a lot of weight around and packa wallop of a paralyzing scream.6


Mr. MeringueTry on the world's biggest meringue man for size. If he looks likea cream puff, don't be fooled. Mr. Meringue is a tower of power. Asultan of stomp. The captain of crunch. He's a tasty hunk of<strong>monster</strong>. And plenty dangerous. We roasted him up just for you.Mr. Meringue is slow, but strong. He moves faster than Godzilla,but lacks the dinosaur's toughness and recuperative abilities.What is his secret weapon? He spits gooey globs of meringue,knocking out almost anything with a direct hit. But he also hasone great weakness - he floats. He can walk into the water, but ifhe goes too far from shore he'll start floating away ...SphectraWhen it comes to sheer terror, there's nothing like a giant waspto frighten the populace. That's where Sphectra comes in. Youhaven't truly inspired wholesale fear into those pesky humancreatures until you've buzzed the Eiffel tower on Sphectra'swings. That's right, stretch out those wings for just a second.Yep. We're talking wingspan. Sphectra is the fastest of all the<strong>monster</strong>s but also the weakest. He can outpace any <strong>monster</strong>, butwill drown if he lands in the water. He has a sonic weaponcapable of destroying anything within range, but recovers slowlyfrom damage.7


The GlogThe most devilish denizen to dribble downtown in decades, themighty Glog was born when acid rain fell on a radioactive wastedump in the California desert. This glop of goo is a toughcustomer. As tough as they come, in fact.The Glog is tops in endurance, because he can withstand plentyof damage and recover even faster than Godzilla. With moderatespeed and only average strength, the Glog must rely on hissecret weapon to fend off attackers and destroy buildings - he'smade of acid, so everything he touches corrodes on contact!TarantusThis guy has killer legs. Tarantus gives new meaning to the word" scuttle." Not even the Rockettes can compete with those lethallimbs as they high-step it down broadway. The fastest <strong>monster</strong>on legs (only Sphectra is faster), Tarantus has two specialweapons that make him a very destructive power despite hisaverage strength. He can shoot webs that retract and catchanything they contact, or let loose with a temporarily hypnotizingscream.8


MechatronMechatron is the king of robots. A mountain of metal. The deanof destruction. Give Mechatron a whirl. Whoa! Don't whirl quiteso fast - you might get dizzy. Mountainous men of metal have towatch their step. And speaking of steps, Mechatron gets hiskicks from wasting skyscrapers -with his big toe.Capable of moderate speed, Mechatron's strength is equal toGo.dzilla's - the two of them share equal ability to inflict damageby striking with fists and feet. Mechatron also has a laserweapon; use it to destroy attackers before they come withinreach. Now the bad news: the king of robots is very tough (hewas made using the strongest Titanium alloy), but he escapedbefore his programming was complete and he can't repairdamage. He also can't enter the water- it would destroy hiscircuitry.Master Monster ChartSpeed Strength Toughness Recovery Special WeaponGodzillaSphectraMr. MeringueMechatronTheG/ogTarantusvery slow powerful exceptional medium Breath weapon, walks inwater, paralyzing scream.very fast weak weak slow Sonic weapon, flies,(drowns if lands on water).slow strong average slow Spits meringue globs, floatsin water.average powerful exceptional doesn't Laserweapon(cannotenter water).average average high fast Touch corrodes (acid).fast average average medium Shoots a web and retracts tocapture.

CITIESChoosing a city to demolish is like reading a menu at a greatrestaurant - everything looks delicious. But ordering isn't asimple matter when you're a giant tarantula or behemothmeringue man. It takes a lot of nourishment to satisfy a<strong>monster</strong>'s appetite.Six cities await your arrival. Each city has its own distinctive"flavor" - and its unique pitfalls, as well. Refer to the map for thelocation of landmarks.1811 Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and the largest city in the world.- " The city's location on a level plain at the edge of the sea helped itbecome a center of population and the seat of an empire.

The BlobSteve McQueen starred in this 1958 horror-<strong>movie</strong> classicfeaturing a shapeless mass of goo that bedevils a small town inAmerica, dissolving living material on contact. Oozing into life asa little piece of glop, the nightmarish Blob quickly grows largeenough to consume arms, legs, small animals and finally adultsin a single gulp (urp). Playing a ne'er-do-well teenager, McQueenmanages to avoid becoming a meal for the Blob, and helps thehapless adults bring about the creature's eventual demise.Ghidra, the Three-Headed MonsterCreated by lnoshiro Honda (who also directed Godzilla andRodan), Ghidra, the Three-Headed Monster introduced KingGhidra, a three-headed dragon from outer space. A meteorbrings Ghidra to Earth, where he spits lightning bolts toincinerate several Japanese cities. Three other <strong>monster</strong>s alsoappear in this film: Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra. The trio comesto Japan's rescue, bringing the high-flying alien invader to aninglorious end.GodzillaReleased in Japan in 1954 (U.S. release, 1956), the motionpicture Godzilla gave birth to the world 's best-loved <strong>monster</strong>, aswell as creating the Japanese <strong>monster</strong> <strong>movie</strong> genre. Raised fromhibernation in the depths of the ocean by an atomic bomb test,the prehistoric <strong>monster</strong> Godzilla sinks a flotilla of ships andlevels the city of Tokyo. A scientist finally otters a secret weaponthat leads to the <strong>monster</strong>'s demise. The device destroys all theoxygen in the water of Tokyo Bay and Godzilla is reduced to aheap of bleached bones. During the course of the plot, the giantdinosaur fights oft the Japanese army, navy and air force .Scenes featuring Raymond Burr were added tor the film'sAmerican release. The new scenes muddled the plot, but theproducers hoped Burr's presence would improve the film'sappeal tor American audiences. They underestimated Godzilla'sappeal. Towering over Tokyo's skyscrapers, Godzilla became acinematic legend. The further adventures of Godzilla includedKing Kong vs. Godzilla, Son of Godzilla, Destroy all Monsters, andGodzilla vs. the Smog Monster. In Japan, Godzilla is known asGojira, a combination of the words gorilla and kujira (whale).15


Godzilla 1985The <strong>monster</strong>'s popularity led to a 1985 remake of the original<strong>movie</strong> starring Raymond Burr and Keiju Kobayashi. Godzilla1985 repeated the plot of the first picture, but was filmed in colorand featured improved dubbing in the English version. Onceagain awakened from his sleep at the ocean floor, Godzillacomes ashore and destroys most of Tokyo. This time the greatfire lizard is tricked into an erupting volcano leading to hisdemise.

The U.S. Navysaves the city by the bay with a well-aimed torpedo that sendsthe <strong>monster</strong> to its final resting place in the briny deep.Monster From Green HellOne of many films inspired by the classic Them! (see below), thisnuclear-mutant insect <strong>movie</strong> featured a 30-foot queen wasp thatterrorized unsuspecting innocents until its eventual demise.Monster from Green Hell was a member of a well-populatedfamily of science fiction <strong>movie</strong>s capitalizing on the fear ofinsects. Other entries in the insect genre included The Spider,The Black Scorpion and The Fly.MothraThis 1961 (U.S. release) film from the makers of Godzilla told aslightly different story than the usual Japanese <strong>monster</strong> <strong>movie</strong>. Agiant caterpillar spins a cocoon on a remote Pacific island andemerges as an even more gigantic moth. Unfolding its giganticwings, Mothra takes to the air and wreaks the usual havoc inTokyo. But here's the twist. Mothra has an ear for music - themusic of a specific set of singing twin sisters. They call the<strong>monster</strong> from its lair and prove once and for all that musicsoothes the savage beast.16


The MysteriansThe makers of Godzilla produced The Mysterians in 1957. In adeparture from their earlier <strong>monster</strong> <strong>movie</strong>s, the film-makerschose a science-fiction plot. Descending from a moon base setup by aliens from the planet Mysteroid, giant robots level Tokyo,Osaka and Yokohama. Once the robots' death rays havedestroyed the cities, the Mysterians themselves arrive to enslavethe rest of the human race. The combined strength of Earth'smilitary forces finally sends the aliens packing.RodanRodan (1956) was the second Japanese <strong>monster</strong> epic starringprehistoric beasts - this time giving the public two <strong>monster</strong>s forthe price of one.

This well-acted film winds its way throughseveral suspenseful scenes before the tarantula finally evadesthe hapless humans and escapes into the desert. A cut abovethe average <strong>monster</strong> <strong>movie</strong>, Tarantula was filmed inblack-and-white by director Jack Arnold.Them!Killer ants grown to huge proportions invade Los Angeles,munch on a few humans and do battle with the U.S. Army in thislandmark 1954 thriller. The ants owe their giant size to nucleartesting in the New Mexico desert, and they take their act on theroad in three states before the army shows up with a batch ofdeadly poison gas.
