Altered Beast - Multiplayer?

[wolfman]

Since the game is always listed as a 2 player version, I would like to know whether anybody ever tried it.

My experience is with the CD version, that there is NO multiplayer mode.

Is the Huey different in that regard from the CD? I wonder if someone knows that...

I don't see a two player option on it.

When you hit run the game just starts.

I checked with an Everdrive but I doubt that makes a difference.

In the HuCard version, press RUN on the 2P controller for 2 Player simultaneous gameplay.

Didn´t work on the CD version. Flipped controllers, tried the LT double tap, no works.......

Looks like an urban myth that it is a 2 player game in CD version.

The manual makes it look like a single player game.

PCECP lists it as single player and got most of its info from the PC Engine Catalog.

Where have you seen it listed as a 2 player game?

Doh, well that's why I'm here to learn.

yeah, the hu card version is two player but hard as hell.

I read on PCEP for the HuCard. Didn´t come to think that the CD version would be single player, since it is basically nothing like an "upgrade". Pcengine.co.uk doesn´t mention as well that it is single player only....

Who the hell would make an updated version and EXCLUDE multiplayer???

[geise]

Yeah, the CD Version is actually inferior to the HuCard version.  Personally, I don't care for either version all that much.  At least both are better than Golden Axe on PC-Engine.  Stay away from Golden Axe.

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.

Well, the sad thing is I would have really liked the team mode...like I do on all beat em ups...

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?
