Graphics: Turbo vs. Genesis - ye old debate

[Joe Redifer]

Great comparison, the Wolf's kicking stances look way cooler in the PCE version.

That's probably because the kicking stance isn't even in the Genesis version.  It was either include the kicking stance or include "Wise fwum your gwave".  Something had to give.

a great thing in the PCE version as well is, the splattered zombie-parts which throwing out the screen. they don't zoom as in the arcade pendant, but at least they there.

In that case, I'd take "Wise fwum yor gwave" any day .

haha, I'd like to have it all. I'll have to play the arcade 

[Gentlegamer]

I must have a hearing problem because the "Rise from your grave" command in the Genesis Altered Beast has always sounded clear and intelligible to me.

gonna play now the CD version with my system card v1.o

:edit:

Well at least the PCE version got the black and white part right for the second level boss .

[Joe Redifer]

They got that part right for every boss.  The Genesis isn't powerful enough to do black and white.  Piece of shit.

Anyway, if you increase the difficulty on the Genesis version, you'll get more crap on the screen like the arcade.  The Genesis wins in backgrounds (except when they should be B&W) and the PC Engine wins at sprites.

I would definitely give it up for the Genesis on the first level. The backgrounds on the Gen/MD are obviously more like the arcade and have better detail than the PCE. After level 1 though, at least from these screenshots, the differences are much less noticeable and are really a matter of preference.

 If you have a tototek card, you can use the system card 1.0 rom. The tototek card also lets you enable and disable cheats with side switch, though you'll have to look for the tototek cheat code (check out the tototek forums for a list of codes).

[Tatsujin]

don't have a so called tototek card only systemcard 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, arcade duo, pro. that's it.

Cool. What are the differences between the HuCard version and the CD version?  With other games that are on both formats it seems the developers just remix the music and leave the graphics alone. Is this the case with Altered Beast?

The music on the CD version is chip generated. They were too lazy to even give us a proper soundtrack.

So there's no difference at all between the two then?
