What about "The Creature that ate Sheboygen"(sp?) by SPI.  It was a nice 
little game for about $5.  You could design a monster and pit it against
national guard, police, fleeing populace, fire departments and even helocoptors.
Your monster could knock down buildings and depending on the special abilities
chosen could set fire to buildings (which could spread), could fly, jump
grab helocoptors and crush them, spin webs, control humans.  A really great
game for an hour or two of play.
