Altered Breast. I mean Beast, Altered Beast.

Having played and beaten the original in the arcade back in it's hey day, as well as the Genesis versions (all 3 craptastic titles), it was nice to see this cd version, because it has cinema's, and nice soundtrack. Don't remember the Hu-Card version. Not that great of a port, but i can think of other titles worse than this for the beloved PC Engine.


Didn't know you can't be angry big bonk on the cd version. Are you sure? That just doesn't make sense.

Wellll...The 'cinemas' consist of a very cheaply made slide show of existing artwork and the in-game music is all chip generated and is the same as the card version, so hardly major selling points.

Nope, on the Super CD version when you (no snickering) eat meat as giant Bonk, Bonk just changes color shades slightly.  His character does not change.  On the HuCard, giant Bonk changes into all three forms of Bonk.  Has to do with the amount of RAM required for SCD play versus direct from the HuCard.  Someone with better working knowledge of the hardware could 'splain better.

Altered Beast isn't that good of a game to begin with. The PCE ports add extra barriers to appreciating an already mediocre game...not a fantastic time.

this is very true.  The game , for as much as I love it, is a clunky bastard.

Often you get some WTF moments when you get caught on a thing trying to jump, or you bounce around like an epileptic at a rave.

I love pain and punishment, therefore the HuCard version is best.

Come on guies, Altered Beast is not that bad.

Yeah... it is.  At least the Mega Drive version is playable.  The PCE version makes me want to puke.  I honestly didn't want to finish the first level in it.  I shut it off and turned on my MD... and I generally prefer the PCE overall.

i played the PCE CD one again this morning before work.

hmm.  Nah, it isn't bad at all.
