It's striking how differently Altered Beast looks & plays between the System 16 arcade & MD/Genesis versions. The home version was very much watered-down, it was a major downgrade. Arcade had much better-defined, larger, much more colorful, much better animated sprite graphics. It had cool scaling effects when your foes broke apart & when Neff grew large before he transformed into the stage boss. Arcade's gameplay was more difficult too. Compare both versions w/ Sega Genesis Collection on PS2.
The manly reviews are great I have to say and they take me back to younger days playing golden axe and altered beast in the arcades. Love the way player two did an impression of a lemming on level 3 though. laughed my ass off.

The Japanese version (on Sega Mega Drive, same console different name) was released in late 1988.
The U.S. Genesis version was then released in 1989, it came packed in *with* the Genesis.
