KING OF THE MONSTERS (NEOGEO®, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older-Fantasy Violence, 900 Wii Points):

Released by SNK in 1991, KING OF THE MONSTERS is an action/fighting game that features city-destroying battles between huge monsters. Choose one of six monsters and travel around Japan, stopping to fight in various famous cities with the aim of becoming the ultimate winner. In addition to punches, kicks and other regular moves, each character has the ability to use more devastating maneuvers, like throwing flames and shooting laser beams, to defeat opponents. Wrestling elements are also incorporated, as you must completely exhaust your opponent and get a three-count to pin him and be victorious. Along with the player-versus-computer game, multiplayer options allow you and a friend to enjoy one-on-one matches and two-on-two tag-team matches against the computer. Take on the challenge and claim the title of King of the Monsters.

Ummm...what's with the carton coasters? There might be something I'm missing here, but I just don't see the connection of the games to the image this time :S

They are Pogs! The great pieces of cardboard from the 90s! And the name of that game is SPOGS.

Oooh... See, I WAS missing something... I didn't know what Pogs were...
Update: After seeing the Wikipedia article, now I know what Pogs are...and it turns out I DO know what they are; it's just that in this country, they are called 'Tazos'; they used to come in Frito Lay's chip bags. Actually, now that I think of it...they still exist!!! o_O Whoa...
