    Altered Beast is a relic of the arcade heyday that just doesn't hold up today.

    Blimy Sega! Why release this when you had so many other more worthy Megadrive games to choose from? This was a a bit of joke even in 1991. Maybe it's got some nostalgic cheese factor going for it but I'd rather forget it thanks.… Expand
