Played this game so much back in 1988. First game I beat in the arcade. Those were the days when if you were really good at a game it would attract an audience around the machine as you played. Good times.
Yes, I experienced that a few times (not with this game). Then I'd run out of quarters and someone would pick up where I left off (further in the game than they'd ever been) and quickly die.
I had that going on with street fighter 2. There was only 1 guy I knew of that could beat me. Some Asian cat at the gas station where they had the game.
I love that the credits reveal that the whole thing is a film production, and the cast members all go enjoy a beer together afterwards! We didn't get that in the Genesis port!
I’d like to think that the Arcade was us filming the movie and being part of the cast. With the Genesis version we now are watching the movie as an audience member.
I like how the developers put their signature at the end, and showed them celebrating with beer. Must have been fun to be a developer in those days when teams were smaller and gaming wasn't all industrialized and hollywoodized.
Yeah, and Anita Sarkesian would have organized feminot flash mobs to break the game over "Women as Reward" And gay groups would demand a "Gay Sub-Plot"...
They had this game at the front of the grocery store when I was a kid in the late '80s. My mom would hand me several quarters and go take care of her shopping. Such good memories!
Man I would play this game every morning before school. I remember my best friend would come over and we would play co-op trying to beat this game until we finally conquered it.
11:21 If you pay close attention to the lower right corner of this final boss screenshot, you can notice The Thinker from Auguste Rodin and The Scream from Edvard Munch. A lot of games from Sega have cool little details like that.
Literally, all you need to do is knockout your myostatin gene through gene editing. As you’re presumably younger than a baby-boomer, it’s likely to become commercially available within your lifetime. Become a wolf man!
I beat this game at the movie theater with my brother since it's actually a 2-player game. I think we played it every week or two with $1.00 worth of quarters after watching a movie. And after a few weeks of playing, I was shocked the game was just over. Because I didn't expect it to end so quick. Not realizing that was the final boss.
Yeah I've always felt this game had a very lazy production about it or something. Only 3 level BGM's, wolf beast is used again for the last level, bosses require just mashing of the buttons while being knocked back. I still love the game, I just think it definitely could've done with some tightening
@@LynkxMan by modern standards even as an indie game it would criticized for a lot. My favorite WTF moment in this game is the out of place fish assets on the last level. I also suspect that the 0 damage contact knockback is the result of lazing coding to avoid creating a fair and balanced contact damage system with i-frames.
It would be interesting to see this game modernized. I'm not sure how well it would go, but I feel like the basic concept could be used to create a very interesting and enjoyable game with today's technology.
@@Atylonisus I'm sure this is some weird cynical attempt at being funny...but I said today's technology, not today's game design model. The base game would also have to be quite large in order to monetize it through cosmetics.
One of my more fondly remembered arcade games; you're dead good at it too. Always loved the thought of this being real; to be able to change into some mighty, unstoppable beast and lay waste to evil-doers.
Never realized how scary these levels are, especially when this version also switches the songs on some of the levels here compared to the Genesis version.
Yeah I remember those days when more than 16 colors was like WOW, SO ADVANCED! You even had some real voice audio! "Rise from your grave!". That was high tech compared to the 8-bit home NES.
I remember when I was in forth grade. My father took me to the arcade every weekend and I played this game. I know this game is not the best in the world but it brings back memories of time I spent with my father.
I like how confidently he says "welcome to your doom" after being defeated every single time. That kinda spirit you gotta admire. Last iteration of the boss battle should definitely show them getting those beers. As a kid tho I saw the first boss at a friend's place, we must've been 8 or so. I tried to explain to my folks what I had seen and why it scared me so much, but they just couldn't comprehend wtf I was saying- and tbh who can blame em.
Well, it's just a giant red horned monster emerging from a pile of corpse, rapidly beheading himself multiple times and throwing his heads with open jaws at you trying to eat you alive 🤣🤣🤣
The kind of game which scares and amazes at the same time. I felt this mix of feelings first whit Altered Beast and later with Contra 3 and Mortal Kombat.
I love that you're actually good at the game. Most playthroughs are by folks on emulator with a cheat set up and it's just a grind. Your skill is fun to watch.
You know something...looking at this play through, the thing I'm struck by is the fact that the standard kick, a low kick is in fact a straight nut shot. I mean he's literally going through the game field goaling the testicles of everything with two legs, he kicked that boar-man in the last level so Hard, he spit up blood before he disintegrated and died.
3Rayfire nice thought, but no.. its a lowkick, its aiming at around the kneecaps/lower legs. i dont know about you, but my testicles are a bit higher up on my body
Omg, same! I could never get past the 2nd level just due to the boss’ design & spread-eye attacks. I learned, when I was 17, you could actually get up in the boss’ representation of a face & just spam the lightning attack, all while you’re near him. I felt so stupid after that lol
Its weird how many the graphics look now now and as a kid it was the most amazing thing ive ever seen in my life lol This game was badass back in the day.
I remember when the Sega Genesis just released. Nintendo fanboy at the time, and I went to an arcade and saw this game. My eyes popped out my head and I knew I had to get a Sega Genesis. The Genesis version wasn't arcade perfect but the "cutting edge" of this game made me want one that much more.
Its all about playability,atmosphere and music.98% games today failed on that.Graphics itself mean(t)s nothing.Every bit era got something that other do not possess.It has artistic value beside game itself.
Jesse Steck Even today, I get more satisfaction out of games like Dragon Warrior 2, Legend of Zelda, Battle Toads and am I the only one who remembers Double Dragon and Ikari Warriors? Man, me and my bro used to go Rambo on those two back in the 80s. And who can forget Shinobi? Ninja Gaiden?
Shawn Corcoran Agree,totally.And those games are bad ass even today.Street of Rage series,Shinning Force series,Breath of Fire series,Sonic and Mario series,etc etc...Playstation 1 RPG also kicking ass...I personally love every era of gaming.
Jesse Steck Altered Beast was never known for being extremely complex, but it's still an enjoyable game with good graphics for the time. Gradius II is a better example of cutting edge gameplay for 1988, and it remains still one of the best shooters.
I don’t remember it being this easy I’m 33 and let me tell you this just about made me tear up I spent hours on this game thank you so much 😊 bless you brother Edit; I get to the end and realize it was made the year I was born lol that’s why I liked it so much when I was 6
13:07 is maybe the funniest thing ever. Here I was thinking it was Neff you fought at the end of each stage but nope, he has four identical twins. And they're all just hanging out.
I love these sort of videos. Reminds me of games on the arcade machines where I never had the chance to complete but always wondered how they did. AND where people play for fun, not for a perfect run or speedrun, and do not mind loosing a life/energy as that was part of the game. How it USED to be.
For some reason even though I was born in 2004 my mum bought me a megadrive. It was weird as well because the controller was blue and the console was a black cube with a power button and red light. I still haven’t been able to find what she bought me. It didn’t even have a cartridge slot.
Alex K. Nothing wrong with interspecies love but only if it's magical creature being (ala mer-person or vampire or gargoyle or in this case that man-wolf), alien, humanoid being or monster being.
I just found a vintage Sega tshirt with the wolf power-up head on it and man, core memory unlocked. I almost thought I had dreamt the game, it’s been that long. 12 year old me on school skate night at the roller rink dropping ALL my allowance to dominate on this game!
I never understood why the white wolves souls made you turn into different beasts... it makes sense only in the first stage, where you turn into a wolfman, but they should have used different animals in the other stages since you turn into a dragon, and so on
because they're powerful. people today dont understand symbolism... it has the orb you need, go get it and level up. only they have it. its the same with many other cultures about how one certain thing will help you in some way. be it lucky charm, a certain food, enchanted items, etc.
WTF those were three headed dog things? I played the Genesis version as a kid and I could have sworn they were like deformed pigs or something all this time...This changes everything..
What do you think Altered Beast 2005 did wrong that yet another remake would get right? I think it's doomed to forever be a generic beat-em-up with transformation gimmick. It'll never stand out visually like it did back then, and stretching it from 13 minutes to a few hours demands so much alteration it just won't feel like the same thing.
Petrus Amp Well think about it from the mindset of a kid who's not consciously going out of their way to play it. I feel lucky because I haven't played many 80's games like Mario.
Indeed and nothing like good old interspecies love eh just like Jessica and Roger Rabbit, Star War humans and alien beings, Trek human and alien beings, April and Donetello, Vinnie and Charlene on Biker Mice etc. and nothing wrong with interspecies romance as long as it's humanoid being, mutant being, magical creature being or alien being.

Good old 80's gaming :)
Jess W Altered beast came out in 88 chief lol look it up
will Thomas well for Sega, it was 90s
I first found this game in 1988 in Spain at Xmas on arcade when I was 6 and on holiday 😂😂❤️❤️
After all these years it's amazing to know that in order to have Beast Powers, you have to Pork it up.
I was Born in 96' but still somehow managed to play this game.
well why wouldn't you. it was a popular game and many copies still exist as well as emulation?
Petrus Amp Well think about it from the mindset of a kid who's not consciously going out of their way to play it. I feel lucky because I haven't played many 80's games like Mario.
Jarrick Williams it was on the Sega Genesis plug and play console right? It was the same with me.
Jarrick Williams I'm so fucking old I remember once playing super Mario brothers when it was an actual arcade cabinet
Hey bro I was born in 1996 to
When player 2 steals your orb 👊👊👊👊
Sorry I'll let you get the next one
What plot twist at the ending. Was it just a film recording? Mind-blowing now!!!
Oh mighty wizard, instead of only removing the player powers after the battle, you know, maybe before...
This game is simply a master piece. It's beautiful in all aspects.
One of the greatest video game endings in history!
Indeed and nothing like good old interspecies love eh just like Jessica and Roger Rabbit, Star War humans and alien beings, Trek human and alien beings, April and Donetello, Vinnie and Charlene on Biker Mice etc. and nothing wrong with interspecies romance as long as it's humanoid being, mutant being, magical creature being or alien being.
Era realmente diabólico! Un juegazo
. recuerdo llevar monedas, pero siempre lo tenían en el modo mas difícil 😆😥
Whoever this guy playing this game is the coin laundry arcade legend who we all admired when we couldn't beat the game ourselves as kids growing up.
Holy shit I forgot this game even existed. I had this when I was 8 😂😂
Yep, I remember it came free with Sega Genesis. Played this and Space Harrier all the time when I was around 6-7
A True Masterclass In Art, Storytelling and Videogames!
Welcome to your Doom!
Till this day one of my favorite sega games. Followed by golden axe
WOW I used to love this game when I was a kid 😳😀
I especially love the memories montage at the end, nice touch
Dude even grabbed a beer with the man he spent an entire game trying to kill. Top notch.
LMAO the power-ups just say, "GET IT" .
In the sega version we never toasted beer :(
I love how the old games always using muscle guys as the main hero, even villain.. sexy
