This would be an awesome plot for an Alterered Beast sequel (and a satisfying thought to keep while working out)
It would be awesome for those who played the original game and those who have no idea what it is!
If I had a nickel for every quarter I lost playing this in the arcade…
Thats called a tax refund…I think…wait…
I never saw an arcade cabinet for Altered Beast and only played it in Genesis where it was kind of a shit game compared to Golden Axe.
Man I gotta go back and play Golden Axe again.
Don’t sleep on “Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder”, while not available for Genesis, definitely the best version there is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6inP3NQPXY
And if you’re ok with some “jankiness”, there are several fan made versions worth your time for OpenBOR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUybVkHLRMo
Just played and beat Golden Axe 2 (arcade) with my kid. It’s great.
Golden Axe 2 was only on Genesis.

Yes, there was a game actually called “Golden Axe 2” on Genesis, but I was talking about the second Golden Axe arcade game.
I thought you might be. It’s a great one! It’s not called Golden Axe 2, though.
Yeah it really holds up, too, IMO.
Sega does, what arcadedon’t.
Featuring the Ax Battler! The famous… swordsman.
He beats up lots of guys with axes tho
The consensus seems to be that people only played it because it came bundled with the console
Those bastard gnomes!
that flying kick is hilarious
Imagine having to go on some adventure where you sleep directly on the desert floor and it’s full of deadly hand-to-hand combat killing hundreds of people, and thinking, “I’m gonna wear my white and red bikini and red boots.”
She’s so hench she doesn’t need armour
It was the 80’s (Golden Axe released in 1989, to be specific) . It was the style of the time.

And these days you get arrested for having a 6 inch replica of the master sword.
So there are already tons of annoying enemies in Fromsoft games, but if they ever put one of these fuckers in something, it would be the single most annoying enemy in any of their games.
Supposedly, there’s a movie in the works, because of course there is. I’d better see a gnome getting beat six ways 'til Sunday.
Mostly because, SORRY. YOU CAN ONLY KICK STRAIGHT UP.
Arise from your grave.
Arise from your grave.
I’d be surprised if there wasn’t this exact comment.
POWER…up
Welcome to your doom!
And rescue my daughter! I didn’t resurrect you so that you could just lounge around. You’ve got a job to do!
“Nah.” walks left instead of right
That’s exactly what I thought of. Great on Arcade
So nostalgic that you can hear it =)
I, for the past several years, have seriously been saying this to my imaginary audience every morning when I wake up and engage the energy necessary to get to the kitchen and make a coffee. I had a girlfriend in 2019 that would get a kick out of it.
I thought you were going to say you said this to the dishes you left soaking, right before you do the dishes.
Wise fwom yo gwave.

I really like how the boss at the end rips it’s own head off and throws it at you as a weapon.
I wonder if thats where Aqua Teen Hunger Force got inspiration from.
“BORED!!! BORED!!! RIP OWN HEAD OFF!!! BLAARRGGHHH!!!”
FYI if you have Nintendo switch online subscription you can still play altered beast, the Sega classic

Wow, I completely forgot about that game.

You made me look, now I laugh and agree. Thanks!
Oh hey it’s that other game on the Sega Genesis! The one that wasn’t Sonic!
Altered Beast
“Rise from your graves.”
What was that?
… The name of the game?
I’m sorry, a podcast I listen to has that sound bite as part of their intro. I wasn’t sure if you were a fan, “Rise from your grave” is inextricably linked with “what was that?” In my brain.
it’s insane how recognizable that beast is
Altered Beast-Mode
