[robyculver]

[electricfoxx]

awesome, but short game.

[XoRandomGuyoX]

I personally found Shadow Blasters to be a worse game, but one that also fits with the great music theme. XD

[pontyfaxjr]

I too, hate this game.

still, it has its moments.

:) i remember playing this game in austins shop, it was a demo game set up for kids to play, was amazing, was this one ot the release games for mega drive?

Pooooower uuuuuuuuuup!

Yes, it was a launch title.

I think that everyone who played this game between 1988 and 1995 thought this was a great game, at least I still think it still is looking at the scenario back there.

do a google search for "zophar gym", it'll be the first hit. You'll need a GYM player, though (there's a link to about ten of them on top of the page). I used Ymamp, which workd perfectly.

worst games of all time? this game is my childhood.

[Hazelminker]

mine too, i played it when i was 5 , those were the days :)

[MetalSonicEX]

Mine third! Don't you dare dis the first game I ever played. Why, I oughta... You wanna fight about it?! -holds up plastic knife- I'll knife you!

[vyse19861]

Let's just say that it actually was a good game back then, but when you play it for the first time today with nor prior connection to the game, you probably won't be too impressed because you know better stuff (and I'm not talking about HD stuff here, more about similar games like Turtles in Time or Battletoads & Double Dragon). Altered Beast was made in 1988, after all.

I'm all for personal opinions and don't mean to insult anyone who likes this game. :)

[MetalSonicEX]

You didn't insult me; everyone's subject to their own opinion. I have to agree with you, though. If you never played the game back then, then yeah, it wouldn't be too spectacular these days.

I played this game when I was young, and still love playing it. I guess I just love when you get all the power-ups and turn into the beast, then you can spam boost, lol. I never completely finished this game...

[Killa2327]

It's a great game!
