Altered Breast. I mean Beast, Altered Beast.

So, I've never played Altered Beast on the PCE.  Been thinking about picking it up.  Should I grab the CD or HuCard version?  Looks like the HuCard version come available less often than the CD-Rom. 

[nectarsis]

Neither lol.   Just remember if you do nab the cd you'll need a japanese 1.0 card.

Please reference this thread. It should answer any questions about Altered Beast.

I still haven't played the %$#&ing game.

Please grab both and post a comparison thread!

You're pretty much screwed either way.

CD version is easier.

Come on guies, Altered Beast is not that bad.

well its not that good either.

[shubibiman]

Sure it's not but it doesn't deserve all the harsh comments

pce is top in sprites.
md in backgrounds and scrolling.

put em both together you would get a very nice arcade port!

Long story short, the HuCard.  I did up reviews for them if you'd like to get some details or see some screen shots:

Boy, this is turning into one of those heated Bitstream VS PCM debates.  Those A/V nerds sure know how to pour on the haterade.  My 8 year old son pointed out a similar disparity to me.  He preferers the Bonk 3 HuCard to the Bonk 3 SCD because, "you can't be giant angry bonk on your CD, daddy."  I wondered if there were some of the same difference with Altered Breast.

You should be careful letting an 8 year old play with a game with as much value as bonk 3 cd.  Send it this way for some safe keeping.

But as with altered beast, everyone knows the master system is tops, minus the 10 FPS of course.

I had an altered beast watch game. It was awesome.

lol, that game should have been called Clunkered Beast.   


For what it's worth, neither is really BAD, I guess.   It's just if you are used to the Genesis one, it leaves a little to be desired.

Nice tunes though, as usual.
