About this product

Product Information

"Altered Beast" was one of the very first titles released for the Sega Genesis in 1989. In fact, this title is the original pack-in to the system. Originally released in the arcade in 1988, "Altered Beast" for the Sega Genesis retains all of the levels and characters that make the game enjoyable. This title rests firmly in the action genre, taking most gamers only around 30 minutes to finish. Players will want to replay this title repeatedly in an attempt to beat their high score.At the start of the game, the demon god Neff has captured Athena, the daughter of Zeus. The only hope of getting her back is a recently slain Greek warrior. In an epic opening sequence, he orders you to rise from your grave. With a flash of lightning, the warrior punches his way from the earth, destroying his tombstone. From there, he must navigate through five perilous levels in an attempt to defeat Neff. You can either play this game alone or with a friend in two-player mode. In two-player mode on the Genesis, each player has a life bar and must work together to win.While your warrior can punch and kick his opponents, his real power is turning into a beast. Throughout each level, you can find orbs that increase your muscle mass and power. These orbs are hidden in special gray enemies that appear at random. After finding three orbs, your character will transform into one of a handful of beasts. For example, on the first stage, you can transform into a creature that is half man, half wolf. Your punches and kicks become fireballs and charging flame kicks, respectively. You can only challenge the boss at the end of the level if you are fully powered up. At the end of each level, Neff shows up and transforms into a giant creature. Avoid this creature's attacks and pummel him with your magic to go to the next stage.In addition to the giant bosses in "Altered Beast," you'll fight a number of enemies in each level. Enemies range from slimes and zombies to cockatrices and minotaurs. Each of the levels features a large amount of variety as well. For example, the first stage of the game has you fighting in a cemetery. Stage 2 takes the fight underground with your character delving deeper as the game progresses.As a launch game for the Sega Genesis, "Altered Beast" was used to show off the power of the system. As a result, this Sega title looks phenomenal. It features large, detailed sprites and no slowdown or lag. The color palette is bright, and the action flows smoothly with no choppiness. The game also retained the voice-overs of the arcade version. The voice-overs are clear and crisp. Zeus will bellow out his opening lines while Neff will taunt you before every fight. "Altered Beast" is a classic game that frequently finds a spot among the top Genesis games. This software is one Sega title you'll come back to play time and time again.

    Altered beast sega Genesis

    Thank you again. I just got into a sega Genesis (again) and I thought it would be nice to get a pack in title that was once sold with a Genesis. That was the thought process which led to looking at Altered Beast. Everything about it is outdated but still in very acceptable condition (and I'm sort of a picky person). I decided to purchase a game genie not long after I got the game cause I only want to play through it without all the struggles of having a set of lives through the entire game. It was nice to see the ending and brings back memories. I'm looking into more games like this but I want to shop more in the $5 - $15 range

    GREAT GAME, poor cartridge

    The game is great. The product I received not so great. There was quite a bit of corrosion on the pins and board. It would not run at all. After a couple hours of gental cleaning it works perfectly now. You kind of expect this with older games, but I figured it would have at least been tested before it was shipped. Tried it in 3 different systems before cleaning. Now it loads flawlessly.

    Altered Beast rules!

    First video game that I ever owned and this will always hold a special place in my heart, but the game is good. At the time, it was as close as you could get to arcade quality for this title. It was a memorable Christmas that year for sure! “Rise from your grave!”

    Its a CLASSIC

    I was always a big Sega fan, the Sega Genesis being my favorite system of the 16 bit era, but you believe me when I tell you I have never played this game all that time back in the 90s until now in 2016, im very ashamed of myself i know. its a fun arcade game with 2 players and decent for its time. Its okay in my book and should be in any Sega collection by default.

    Game Before "Sonic" that 1st made Genesis #1 !

    This is the original "pack-in" title from when Genesis was first launched. Great graphics for the 16 Bit days. Captivating game play that many found addicting from the days when you could actually finish a game - but it was NOT easy.
