Altered Beast - Multiplayer?

Like geise said, you're really not missing out by not having a two player version on CD. In fact, you're probably losing something by playing Altered Beast...on any system. One of Sega's worst I would say.

Yeah, I've never understood what people saw in this game, even back when it was new. It's got big sprites, I guess... that's a thing, right?

Just old memories...played it in my holidays on the arcade when I was young...never got to play it till the end cause the money was gone by then 
Guess that this is a good reason why.

Sega released a lot of mediocre arcade games at the time.
It wasn't until the console versions were released minus all the shiney that
they couldn't stand up on gameplay, but this was true of lots of arcade games.

It's true about a lot of games around that time but I think Shinobi still stands the test of time and so does Golden Axe (the arcade version, not the PCE version). I just never clicked with Altered Beast. But you're right, having a 2-player option (and having someone to play with) would make this less mediocre.

You´re right with Shinobi - that is still on my list. I remember playing it endlessly on the Master System in the shopping centre....wow its really that long ago. Must be 25 years now.....man
