In an alternate universe, this was the pack in game for PC Engine, and MD came with Keith Courage.

WELCUM TO UR DOOM is scratchy as hell. You've got some memories crossed.

>NEVER GIVE UP
This shit stuck with me back in the days and when I grew up and started using the internet I was surprised to learn that this phrase actually became a meme. It's kinda weird because I don't believe Altered Beast is that popular of a game, the meme is probably more popular than the game itself, like 'all your base'

he thinks it's skawwy instead of heroic

>don't believe Altered Beast is that popular of a game
Its more infamous from being a pack in and a great looking(at the time) launch title. I liked it back in the day but only for a play every once in awhile. Anons saying it was never good or know nothing ecelbs putting in their top Genesis games list are both wrong. It deserves its spot in gaming history but that's about it.

>>12065621
The genesis port was a fine game even if it didn't have the final level, though the gba port, being complete, is the superior non- arcade version.

Thought this was a great and impressive game. Thanks for sharing. We'll talk about this one day.
>>
>>12065621
It was a different time, a simple arcade style game was still capable of being highly appreciated in this era because that's literally all games had been until just recently, these days people need games to be like grandiose things they use to replace books or movies to be considered "great"

I feel it is only a decent average game myself but with a cool presentation, but honestly I wouldn't begrudge someone for scoring it higher based on that if it captures them more than say, a few more attacks or freezer movement in SoR or Turtles in Time or whatever

>>12065710
Shame they couldn't follow up with a decent sequel.

naw man that says 獣王記

>>12065121
Mandela Effect, now the Genesis version is crystal clear. It wasn't.
>>
in the japanese version he says "razzle dazzle"
>>
>>12065621

Nah it's a good game.
>>
>>12065621
Its a good but very short game. It also has a weird ending.
>>
>>12065230
It was really cool because sega was so much better than Nintendo graphics wise. I think this game came with sega when it first came out

I feel like people misunderstand Altered Beast's place in the vidya continuum because technically it is a 16-bit game and it gets mogged so brutally by other games of that era.

But despite it being part of the Genesis / SNES era it was the very very beginning of that timeline Its direct comparisons were not Final Fight or Strider. When it came out its main competition was the original NES and while it lacked the complex gameplay of a lot of the later NES titles it completely blew all of them out of the water visually. And that was the point. Instead of making some bastardized or clearly downgraded home port it was amazingly close to the arcade and that was impressive as fuck for what was most people's first game ever played on a 16-bit system.

This
The Genesis port was basically one of, if not the best looking console game of the 80s
>>
>>12068560
Nta, but yeah it was literally a system seller and they even had it on the box, on the TV ads, and gave you one for free, initially at least.
That one and Golden Axe started to cannibalize arcades, and arcade owners soon hated even hearing anyone talk about the SEGA Genesis.
There's a reason this commercial exists.

This game is too short, I want there to be 200 levels and all different transformations
>>
the demo playing at the toy store in 1990 blew my mind
>>
>>12065652
The GBA game is an original game and it's kind of janky

Wait until you see the arcade ending for Golden Axe.
>>
>>12068591
Considering the game is like 15 minutes long and only 5 levels this actually wouldn't be as long as one may think. 60 levels would equal to about an hours worth of time. So 200 levels would be under 4 hours long.

I do think its reasonably realistic this game could have given 20+ levels for its day though with probably more unique transformations. Its a pretty solid port all things considered when you stack it to the rest of the ports.

>>12068591
That would be awesome
