Doctor Mad

I'm so old, my Megadrive came with Altered Beast 👍. I guess I've gone... retro-old 🫢

@DoctorMad speaking as someone who is younger than the Genesis: how is Altered Beast? I've only really put a few minutes into it and didn't quite get it.

@constancies <1> It's certainly an... 'experience' 🤭
It's cheesy fun and an arcade classic you can finish in 10 minutes with some interesting art style and game concepts. Basically: kick & punch the baddies as fast as you can, pick up the blue spheres so you can transform in an 'Altered Beast' and then the fun doubles when you become near-invincible. </1>

Back in the day it turned quite a few (young) heads as it was an impressive arcade-to-console port. Something SEGA sure advertised for it's blazingly fast machine.

Also, it's the game that preceded Golden Axe (by the same team), so 'retro-historically' quite important.

Play it on any potato and enjoy! 😅 🕹️ 👌
