The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I thought altered beast was the pinnacle of two player gaming at one point. I played it recently and decided to do laundry instead.

I remember Altered Beast's graphics being a lot better than they are.

IIRC, the sprites were pretty large for the time.

I was impressed by them, but I was also a child. I remember them being comparable to SNES graphics and...they aren't.

I could never beat the first level when I was a kid. But I played that game over and over and enjoyed every minute of it.

My tolerance for repetition has gone waayy down. It used to be so common to die and then start over in a game, trying to make it just a little further at each go. It never seemed boring to me, but I have very little tolerance for games that make me do this now.

Was down-right haunting for me to hear a game console actually talking!

Lol I'm working on a MAME emulator system and saw the roms for Altered Beast yesterday, and I wondered if I should bother, because I remember playing it some in the arcade. Sounds like I should skip it!

It was cool to waste a few quarters on at the arcade, but the entire game is actually only 15 minutes long, has terribly unrewarding gameplay beyond going beast mode, and is super repetitive.

MKII is still sweet. So is killer instinct, Mike Tysons punchout, tecmo bowl, super dodge ball, most of the Mario games, ff 6 and 7, chrono trigger, the first Mario kart, some of the zelda's, and a ton more.
