I enjoyed this, would like more of them. I am a sucker for getting and playing all versions of a game eg elite, gauntlet, turrican, out run!

what he said.

great video!

I would.. but there are far fewer versions of Beast 2 and they're mostly similar.

Nice video! It was very interesting to see that there are 2 Genesis versions in addition to the other platforms.

frsoldier · 16 July 2008, 08:16

ahh pretty good chip tune the one for commodore64

Monsterland · 16 July 2008, 08:49

Great video, I'm also rather impressed by the Master System version which look relatively good. I've had a whole lot of worser looking MS games back in the days! The PC Engine version looks good too especially for an 8-bit system.

Does this video include the rather commendable Atari Lynx version? Or the C64 version?

Is there somewhere to get this in AVI/MPG/MP4/IFF format please?

s2325 · 16 July 2008, 12:51

Yes, Lynx and C64 versions included.

Yes, both.

Minuous · 16 July 2008, 12:56

That site doesn't seem to work properly here, must need JavaScript or something, it would be nice to have them in an Amiga-friendly format.

laffer · 16 July 2008, 15:15

You can download the original AVI (Xvid) file here -

However, it's not worth it.. I wanted to test just how good I could get the quality on Youtube and Vimeo so I selected the highest possible quality.. which resulted in a 200+ meg file for 7 minutes

EDIT 2 - I encoded a lower quality version (still Xvid, AVI).. little over 60 megs. I'm currently uploading it on Yousendit, I used the email on your site as the receiver address. I'll post the link here as well when it's done uploading.

EDIT 3 - https://www.yousendit.com/download/T...Mm0zeUpFQlE9PQ

What the hell you trying to watch it on?

Leffmann · 17 July 2008, 01:50

Nice video, I never knew there were so many ports! I've always wondered what sales numbers they reached with their SotB series, as they were so appreciated. Would be interesting to know.

Don't worry man, I wasn't implying anything of the sorts

I respect all great retro platforms.
