1. Introduction.
I kind of bought this game on a dare because I didn't
know it existed when I first saw it in a store one
day. I read the box and saw it was a fighting games,
but wasn't made by Sega, Capcom or even Namco. I
almost didn't buy it because it was produced by
Acclaim and had enough games from them. I can't beat
up Acclaim, though because I like X-Men: Children of
the Atom and Alien Trilogy, games they released.
Anyway, I took the chance and purchased Battle
Monsters.
Despite the poor graphics and other minor flaws, I
enjoy this game very much. The game play is almost
like Samurai Showdown, it has digital graphics like
Mortal Kombat and it has characters similar to
Darkstalkers. This FAQ I made describes each
character, shows the basic moves and explains the
special moves in this game. Enjoy.

THE BIG 4
Quote: WITH THIS VICTORY YOU'RE PROVEN YOURSELF A
WORTHY HEIR TO THE DARK THRONE. I HAVE RULED THIS
LAND FOR OVER A MILLENIUM AND IF IT'S MY KINGDOM YOU
WANT, THEN PROVE YOURSELF IN THE FIELD OF BATTLE!
After you defeat all 12 monsters (including the one
that mimics the character you're playing) you're taken
to the last stage to face the final boss (that is,
bosses) known as the Big 4. You fight in a 4-8 bouts,
beating each of them only once, while they have 4
chances to defeat you.
Stage: Palace of Spirit
Nothing much here. Just an arena, with all the
characters' tribe around, watching. You can also see
Kap Ka on a carpet and Albiola flying above (even if
you are playing them).
LEVIATHAN
The water man-demon. He can shoot water blasts either
directly at the opponent or many in all directions at
once. His upper body can strech out to hit you
causing many damage.
SALAMANDE
Demon made of fire. Can shoot firebolts and has a
mean flying kick with multi-hits.
JINNEE
A demon who is almost invisible. You can only see his
outline, which is not much. You can only see him a
short bit when you hit him. He's quick and also has a
telekintic throw which he can do whether he's close to
you or not.
BEHEMOTH
The terra demon and the last boss. He can throw two
bouncing boulders at you and cause stalagmites to
appaer on both sides of him. Don't get too close or
he'll give you a multi-uppercut which can take from
one-third to a half of your life points.
THE DARK KINGDOM IS YOURS... LONG MAY YOU RULE
SUPREME!

leave you with this:
a) For people who like BATTLE MONSTERS music:
In case you don't know, you can play the audio music
tracks off the console version CDs. Better yet, to
save wear and tear, record the music tracks from the
CD to an audio cassette tape. Just don't play track 1
because it's the game load. Here's the track list:
Track | Title | Time
------------------------------------------------------
02 | unknown theme | 1:40
b) Select Stage in Vs. Mode
Have either player one or two choose a character using
A or C button and continue to hold down the button as
the character select screen fades to black. A stage
select menu will appear, allowing you to chose one of
the 12 fields to battle in. Sorry, but the "Palace of
Spirit" isn't among them.

hate him."--Booker T. Washington
