A Monster game is any game which is extremely large/takes an inordanent 
amount of time to play.  Generally any game which take more than 20 hours
to complete.  Good examples are:
	War in the World [SPI] - actually War in the East, War in the West
				and War in the Pacific.
	Campaign for North Africe [SPI] - 2 teams of 5 for 200 hours.

To name just a few.  They can be losts of fun, but VERY time consuming.
