Altered Beast sucks.

Gray_Area:
Yup, the only cool thing about AB was the graphics, and it sold short very quick.

@drventure: the simplicity of Pong was such that it was easy to get over the lack of graphics, and easy to get into playing the game.

No.  Its because AB has no real skill requirements.

 Its slow. Its easy. And you can just keep continuing.   Had they made no continue feature, it would have at least
added to the value of trying to get to the end.  But even then, its longevity isnt good due to its lack of depth.

 Pong may have simple graphics, but its much more difficult.  A fast reflex challenge.  A game of skill.

 Game of skill, always maintains value.  People still Bowl. Play skeeball.  Darts.  Etc.

 :dunno I always loved (and still do) playing Altered Beast. It was the reason I bought a Megadrive. Each to their own I suppose.  :dunno
Well Fed Games:
Thankfully my wife's Genesis came with Sonic. Every time I play Altered Beast it feels like I am playing one of those Tiger LCD handheld versions of a video game. But it had a certain cool factor back in the day.

I agree. Never been a fan of Altered Beast myself. Horrible, quirky gameplay. It's just nostalgia for me, that's all.
