Longplay and review for "Altered Beast" on the Amstrad CPC!
(Plus all versions comparison!)

WISE FROM YOUR GWAVE! And Happy Halloween! (If you're watching this video on the day of release!) 🎃

Zeus has resurrected you to journey into the underworld, to rescue his daughter Athena from the evil clutches of the demonic Neff! Battling zombies, undead creatures, demons and huge monsters along the way! What you didn't expect to battle was horribly unresponsive controls, terrible scrolling and graphics that look like a toddler has vomited Lego bricks across the screen! A true Halloween horror! Oh well... perhaps there's still a decent game in there? Let's venture further into the underworld and find out along with the history of the game and checking out the other computer/console versions...
