Master of Monsters is a game where you are a wizard commanding the mythological creatures trying to destroy another sorcerer who also controls creatures on a map.

The biggest attraction of the game is that controlled creatures can evolve, many years before the Pokémon series. This game was also a source of inspiration for The Battle for Wesnoth.
