Altered Beast

Altered Beast, made by Sega is the representative of the arcade genre very popular during 80's and 90's. The story is the one of always, a lady has been kidnapped by an evil monster and we must save her. The game is made by level in the typical platform way and you must defeat the enemies jumping, punching and kicking them. At the end of eache level the monster will block you, so, be careful. In every level you can collect some special items to transform in a different animal (a wolf, a bear, ...) and use special powers against the enemy. 8

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.
