Altered Beast speed run

POWER UP!

I honestly never realized how terrible this game was until now.

I-Mockery remembers the game by saying this:

Each power up makes you a little bit stronger, but what’s truly funny about it is while your character grows in size and strength like the Hulk, the size of his head remains the same and his loins (thankfully) remain covered. But it’s not until you achieve the third power-up that the game abandons its bold homoerotic undertones and enters a world of beast-filled rage.

And then…the end:

So what are we left with in the end? Well, your character is apparently now going to be a golden wolf forever and he and Athena are going to get it on. I guess this means that everybody was wrong about the game being gay. It’s clearly about bestiality…….. altered bestiality.

All in all, the video above is worth a good laugh. I can’t believe I used to beg my cousin to play this game with me. You know, come to think of it, I wonder if my cousin even still has that Sega Genesis system with Altered Beast. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it anywhere. It’d be nice to bring it out and play again.

POWER UP!
