Don't forget to extract the data files from that Altered Beast disk.

normally a black screen just after the 'nag' means a pirated key.....

anyone think this game might have been almost playable if it had some decent controlls?

[Retro-Nerd]

Even then it doesn't aged well. Pretty boring Sega stuff from that time.

If you really want to play a home version, then the Mega Drive port.

PC Engine version seems good too (but never tryed)

[Retro-Nerd]

Avoid the PC-Engine version (HuCard and CD). Redrawn graphics and really bad controls. The Mega Drive version is the most faithfull arcade port.

indeed, since the megadrive is a cutdown hardware of the arcade system16 hardware

I did play this version a lot on a friends Atari ST and found it to be pretty ok.

The arcade original isn't the pinnacle of arcade control so it translates better than most ports.
