Altered Beast sucks.
Cynicaster:
My brother and I were actually excited that Altered Beast was packed in with the Genny. We played it a lot. I don’t know how we were able to stand it, but we did.
I’m thinking the game got a “pass” just because it looked good for the time. I remember it popping up at the bowling alley, and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.
But playing it now, I agree, the game is a freakin’ hot mess. The way your character kind of “accelerates” and slips and slides around when you change directions, the unfair hit detection, the way your guy flies back when hit, the white lion leaping across the top of the screen giving you no chance to hit him… gah, it’s horrifying.
Still, I love the music on the title screen and first level.

I entered the Genesis Party late and got Streets of Rage 2 which was awesome. The whole reason I got the genesis was because of seeing altered beast in Toy's R Us and then once I actually had the genesis I never bought Altered Beast. Go figure lol.

Well, I still say "welcome to your doom" sometimes. Can't say I quote too many other cruddy games.

Ha ha! I remember that we had both a Pong and a Genesis in my dorm room. The Genesis got dusty. The pong... Was KING! We played for bragging rights!
