FYI if you have Nintendo switch online subscription you can still play altered beast, the Sega classic
All the 40 somethings in here: "Altered Beast!".
Everyone else: "Uh, what?"
I'm a simple man. I see Altered Beast, I upvote.
As a non 40 something can confirm
Bro I'm early 30s and I was like "OHHHH SHIT MY CHILDHOOD!" haha
You must have older siblings, altered beast was released in 1988
Actually I'm the oldest! I just had a lot of games that weren't exactly cutting edge at the time lol
As a 40 something can confirm
It's funny to see which things haven't transferred over through cultural osmosis through the years. I would have assumed most people here would still recognize this. Clearly I'm an out of touch relic!
Altered Beast-Mode
Arise from your grave.
POWER...up
Welcome to your doom!
So nostalgic that you can hear it =)
That’s exactly what I thought of. Great on Arcade
I, for the past several years, have seriously been saying this to my imaginary audience every morning when I wake up and engage the energy necessary to get to the kitchen and make a coffee. I had a girlfriend in 2019 that would get a kick out of it.
And rescue my daughter! I didn't resurrect you so that you could just lounge around. You've got a job to do!
daaaaaamn fkn altered beast?! hell yeah, I forgot about this game but it was huge in my childhood. RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
Oh hey it's that other game on the Sega Genesis! The one that wasn't Sonic!
I really like how the boss at the end rips it's own head off and throws it at you as a weapon.
Wow, I completely forgot about that game.
Bro shinesparked without the booster, what a madlad
Not even a blue suit.
FÜCKING incredible I know, bro even sequence broke the kraid battle, what a legend
I don't get it
Old game called "Altered Beast". You could transform into a few different beasts. Classic side-scrolling game.
it's insane how recognizable that beast is
I never saw an arcade cabinet for Altered Beast and only played it in Genesis where it was kind of a shit game compared to Golden Axe.
Those bastard gnomes!
Imagine having to go on some adventure where you sleep directly on the desert floor and it's full of deadly hand-to-hand combat killing hundreds of people, and thinking, "I'm gonna wear my white and red bikini and red boots."
It was the 80's (Golden Axe released in 1989, to be specific) . It was the style of the time.
Pic from Red Sonja in 1985
And these days you get arrested for having a 6 inch replica of the master sword.
Man I gotta go back and play Golden Axe again.
Don't sleep on "Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder", while not available for Genesis, definitely the best version there is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6inP3NQPXY
And if you're ok with some "jankiness", there are several fan made versions worth your time for OpenBOR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUybVkHLRMo
God, I loved that game. I have spent so many fucking quarters in pizza parlors on that shit.
If I had a nickel for every quarter I lost playing this in the arcade...
