My first opponent was Gezora, an obscure squid kaiju who had never been in a Godzilla movie. Although my excitement had worn down some, it wasn’t long at all before I got to my first boss battle. The game bombards you with bullets and things crashing into you from every direction, and you’re too big to avoid most of them. I had forgotten how quick the fun of smashing things as Godzilla wore off in the scrolling levels. But after what’s happened with this game I don’t have those feelings anymore. Those 8-bit games take me back to when things were much simpler, more…safe. Some people laugh at me for playing such outdated games, but I’ve never had as much enjoyment for any games other than those on the NES. Godzilla’s 8-bit theme song flooded proudly through the speakers and I was soon grinning like an idiot. So I started the game, and the nostalgia came flooding back like a tidal wave. He also gave me some other games like Legend of Zelda, Bomberman and some stupid thing called Action 52, but Godzilla had to come first. It never even occurred to me to ask where Billy found it. I was pumped to play my favorite childhood game. Recently, I had bought a new NES system, and through a lot of hunting and asking around, my friend Billy finally managed to find a copy of Godzilla: Monster of Monsters. Unfortunately I had traded the game for Amagon a year later, much to my regret when I found out what that game was like.
When I got the game as a present for my tenth birthday, I played it night and day, as much as I could. Overall it was pretty mediocre, but back then I didn’t care. To sum it up, most of the game revolved around getting through (very repetitive) outer space levels while smashing up tanks and jets, and then fighting against Godzilla’s monster enemies. So naturally when Godzilla: Monster of Monsters came out, it was like a dream come true. When I was a little kid, the two things I loved most in life were Godzilla, and NES games.
