Grand Monster Slam

Grand Monster Slam is a fantasy sports game set on the fictional world of GhoLD, where creatures from various fantasy races compete in a bizarre tournament. You control an unnamed dwarf who must face opponents including trolls, orcs, ogres, imps, and eventually a golden goblin named Winner, the final boss based on developer Golden Goblins' logo. Matches take place on a small pitch viewed from a fixed 3D perspective. The aim is to kick all six of your Beloms — brown, trembling, spherical creatures with faces — onto the opponent's side, then run across to claim victory. You can aim shots with variable power and direction, and hitting your opponent stuns them briefly. Kicking a Belom into the stands triggers a penalty kick using a duck-like Pelvan. Between matches, two minigames appear: "Revenge of the Beloms" requires defending against attacking Beloms with a pole, while "Faulton Feeding" challenges you to kick Beloms into the mouths of frog-like Faultons on pillars. The game is based on the 1985 arcade game Penguin Wars.
