Product Information
Sega's 1988 arcade hit and launch title for the 16-bit Genesis receives its first sequel in the form of Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms. Players are once again summoned by Zeus himself -- from the grave -- to battle an unknown presence. Instead of journeying through the underworld to rescue Athena as in the original, players must embark on a quest to become a Guardian, the protector of all that is seen and unseen throughout the universe. This side-scrolling adventure takes place across 16 different lands, each possessing a key needed to fulfill the quest. <br><br>Of course, there are also magical orbs to find whose very essence has the power to transform the character into a powerful creature of mythical descent. Thirteen beastly transformations are available throughout the game, including that of a dragon and scorpion. Combat involves hand-to-hand attacks as well as projectile and magical blasts. Each creature can be further enhanced after collecting power-ups such as venom and shock wave. Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms also supports two multiplayer modes: a two-player cooperative option and a four-player battle mode.Product Identifiers
