Monster Bash
DOSPlatformer
Monster Bash is a side-scrolling platform game developed by id Software and published by Apogee Software for DOS in 1993. Players control Johnny Dash, a child armed with a slingshot who sets out to stop Count Dracula from turning the world's children into monsters. The game combines fast platforming, enemy avoidance, collectible hunting, and light shooting action across themed stages. Its bright cartoon presentation contrasts with the gothic setting, while the demanding jumps and limited protection create an arcade-like challenge. Monster Bash was well received by shareware-era PC players and is remembered as one of id Software's distinctive early platform games.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
