Item Condition

Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. It does not include a figurine, but it does have the original custom-sized foam spacer. The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Picture a kitchen counter the size of a city block, stove burners big enough to swallow you whole, and a hero no taller than a thumb trying to cross it all. That is the wonderfully odd premise of Monster in My Pocket, Konami's 1992 NES platformer based on the line of tiny collectible monster figures that filled kids' pockets in the early '90s. The world's famous monsters gather for a meeting at a volcanic convention center, an eruption shrinks them to pocket size, and the good monsters end up fighting the Warlock's band of evil beasts through the gigantic home of a teenager named Jack.

You choose the Vampire or the Monster, and a second player can join as the other for simultaneous co-op, with partners able to hand over spare lives when one runs dry. Every stage turns ordinary scenery into an obstacle course. Jack's house lets you ride a stair railing down like a slide, the kitchen asks you to hop the stove burners before facing Bigfoot, the city streets send runaway golf balls bouncing in from behind, the sewer pipes spit out enemies, and the construction site has you clinging to a crane hook while Baba Yaga swoops in. The very first stage ends in a duel with Spring-Heeled Jack, who leaps into the air and throws fans of daggers.

The enemy list is half the fun. The Warlock's army raids world folklore the same way the toy line did: head-throwing skeletons, axe-tossing Ghouls, an egg-dropping Roc, the Catoblepas and Haniver, Tengus, Kali, and on the final climb up Monster Mountain, Minotaurs and a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex before the Warlock himself and his lightning attacks. Kids who collected the figures could spot obscure favorites on screen, and everyone else got a monster roster far stranger than the usual vampires and werewolves.

It is a brisk six-stage adventure rather than a sprawling one, but it carries the confident polish of Konami's late NES output, and the giant-sized world gives it a personality few platformers on the console can match. As licensed games go, it is far better than it had any reason to be, and it makes a perfect pairing with a shelf of the original figures or a two-player evening with someone who remembers trading them at recess.

About the game

Thousands of history's famous monsters gather for the meeting of the century. But their volcanic convention center erupts, mysteriously turning them into terrors of pint-size proportions. They escape to the home of Jack, the teenage "Captain of Cool." There begins a battle between the good ghouls and The Warlock's band of evil beasts. You must become The Vampire or The Monster and lead the forces of right through a humongous, human-size world six levels deep, featuring Jack's house, a scummy sewer, a hazardous construction site, and an odd oriental palace. Don't get burned on the kitchen stove or crushed by runaway golf balls. Meanwhile you'll have to punch and zap at all your fiendishly favorite monsters including the head-rolling Skeleton, the rock candy throwing Goblin, the bone-crushing Cyclops, and dozens more! Every monster you mash is worth points. Score enough and you'll get an extra life. Something you'll really need when you finally face the powerful Warlock and his magic lightning jolts. So be a pocket-size peacemaker and conquer the smallest threat to monsterdom the world has ever known!
