Description of Altered Beast

Another SEGA arcade conversion done by Unlimited Software. Altered Beast is a typical arcade side-scrolling beat'em up game. You all know it anyway. The conversion doesn't look too good graphically but plays fairly well. Just don't compare it with the original...

The game plays a bit like Quicksilver's Karnov in design and execution, in which the sprites all have their own colours. The game is quite satisfying as beat-'em-ups go, and my only real criticisms are a) if anything the levels are too short, b) the players look like they're doing ballet kicks rather than karate, and c) with the background and 400 bits of zombie flying around it's hard to see what's going on.

But Altered Beast, like its arcade original, pushes the PC to its limits, and although it's a flawed execution in some ways, I'd still say it's a good game.

Altered Beast was one of my favourite arcades at the time from an era where arcades were full of games, not just scamming slot machines. The C64 wasn't the best of conversions, but when I got my Megadrive I had to play this as soon as I saw it in the local video shop (they rented out Megadrive games as well as VHS tapes). Loved this game but it is very 1 dimensional.

I LOVED the Master System version of this game as a kid. I still play it occasionally today. The music, the punch/kicks sounds, when Neff changes into the level boss... it all puts me back to being a 10 year old on Christmas, playing this game and thinking it was the coolest game I had ever played. In my mind, this game is perfect. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

I bought this back in the day when I was going through my Genesis envy phase. This port is complete garbage. It should have been a 16 bit VGA conversion, not this c64 looking clone. I'm pretty certain the Genesis version is home port to play.

I played this briefly on an arcade, but didn’t have enough quarters to enjoy it. This may come close.
