In the later 80s era, my mother somehow managed to always find and purchase many of the Godzilla movies. Actually, anything that had to do with the big lizard on VHS, she bought. One of the best ones she gave me was Godzilla vs. King Kong. Now everyone I knew that had this movie, King Kong won in the end. But not the version I had.. no no. In the Japanese version, Godzilla won. Thats the one I had, and I liked it better.

Anyhoo, I loved Godzilla as a kid, and when the game Rampage entered my household, I lost my shit. I finally got to play as a big lizard and destroy cities. My brother would accompany me as "George" and I would do my best to take him down. But there was nothing better than taking out the nation one city at a time with a giant gorilla/lizard. I mean really, don't you wish you were in a giant rubber suit with a miniature tokyo at your feet for you to fight another guy in a rubber suit in? At the time, this game made that dream into a reality... aside from actually being in any kind of rubber suit.
