In this episode of Retro Flashback, I take a look at Altered Beast for the Genesis (the first Genesis game featured on the show) through the Wii Virtual Console system. The game also got versions on numerous other platforms including the Sega Master system, PC Engine, PC Engine-CD, Famicom, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Amstrad CPC and DOS. Yeah, it got around.
Altered Beast can be purchased digitally on the Wii and Virtual Console and on iOS. It also has an enhanced version with higher resolution graphics, leaderboards and online play on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. It is also a component of several Sega compilation packs including Sega Smash Pack, Sega Genesis Collection and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.
