Grand Monster Slam is a computer game for the Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, Atari ST and PC. It is heavily based on the 1985 arcade game Penguin Wars. In Amiga Power's first All Time Top One Hundred in the inaugural 'Issue 0', it was declared to be the 100th best Amiga game of all time. It never reappeared in the top 100 and its initial inclusion was said to be due to the insistence of a single writer.
The game is based on the fictional Grand Monster Slam tournament set on the fantasy world of GhoID. The competitors of Grand Monster Slam are drawn from staple fantasy races including trolls, orcs, ogres and imps. The player plays an unnamed dwarf. The final boss is a golden goblin named Winner, based on the logo of the developer, Golden Goblins.

—William A. Drake (1900–1965)
“This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future, turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.”
