As a non 40 something can confirm
I'm a simple man. I see Altered Beast, I upvote.

It's funny to see which things haven't transferred over through cultural osmosis through the years. I would have assumed most people here would still recognize this. Clearly I'm an out of touch relic!

Bro I'm early 30s and I was like "OHHHH SHIT MY CHILDHOOD!" haha
You must have older siblings, altered beast was released in 1988
Actually I'm the oldest! I just had a lot of games that weren't exactly cutting edge at the time lol

Arise from your grave.
POWER...up
Welcome to your doom!
Wise fwom yo gwave.

So nostalgic that you can hear it =)
That’s exactly what I thought of. Great on Arcade
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
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.

Arise from your grave.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't this exact comment.
I really like how the boss at the end rips it's own head off and throws it at you as a weapon.

daaaaaamn fkn altered beast?! hell yeah, I forgot about this game but it was huge in my childhood. RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
I don't get it
Old game called "Altered Beast". You could transform into a few different beasts. Classic side-scrolling game.
Details of the game are here
Was a good 2 player monster beat-em-up.
Good is arguable... Out of all the Genesis games I had I played it the least. Toejam and Earl was where it's at.

Oh hey it's that other game on the Sega Genesis! The one that wasn't Sonic!
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.
Those bastard gnomes!
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."
It was the 80's (Golden Axe released in 1989, to be specific) . It was the style of the time.
Pic from Red Sonja in 1985
And these days you get arrested for having a 6 inch replica of the master sword.

The consensus seems to be that people only played it because it came bundled with the console
If I had a nickel for every quarter I lost playing this in the arcade...

it's insane how recognizable that beast is
God, I loved that game. I have spent so many fucking quarters in pizza parlors on that shit.
Wow, I completely forgot about that game.
