What is the name of an arcade Godzilla-like game where you destroy buildings?

Question

I played a game a few years ago on someone else's computer (I'm guessing that it was running MAME) but have forgotten the name.

In the game you had a choice of monsters, I remember 2 of them:

1. A Godzilla-like creature - I think it was yellow or cyan

2. A robot monkey whose arm extended to punch - I think it was red

The gameplay involved going around with your monster and destroying buildings. Some buildings could be picked up and thrown by your monster. I believe the enemies were a combination of the army and other monsters, but I cannot be sure. The style of gameplay was arcade.

The graphics were isometric pixel art. Because of this, I'm guessing it was made in the '90s.

It is not in the Rampage series.

Answer

Sounds like you could be talking about King of Monsters II.

It's a Neo-Geo game, and is a beat-em-up where you go around fighting aliens while roaming in a destructible city.

It has a Godzilla-like creature:

And a robotic monkey:

I can't recall if he has an extendable punch attack, but as can be seen in this video he has an extendable head attack (and in the video the monkey is actually red). In this specific part of the video you should also be able to see that the monkey has a "rocket punch" sort of attack, which could also fit the bill.

As you can see the game is also isometric, though I personally think the graphics are a little too detailed to be considered "pixel art".
