Altered Beast for Duo any good?

BJMFH · Jan 1, 2002

Is the Duo version of Altered Beast arcade perfect? For some odd reason I just love that stupid game and if I can get a better version of it I would like to. Does anyone know if the duo version is at least superior than the Genesis one? The reason I'm asking is because I saw a copy on ebay. It seems a bit pricy but if it's arcade perfect I wouldn't mind getting ripped off.
Here a link to the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1315949129

I prefer the Genesis version. If you want the arcade perfection, get the original PCB.

I dont know, its not worth owing the PC engine ver unless you are a completist.

If you want arcade perfection and dont want go through the trouble of pcbs and Super Guns, just get (gasp) mame and the rom.

I would get the DC Smash Pack but I heard that those games weren't even ports of the originals. They were all like ports of the PC versions. At least that's what I heard.

the smash pack is actually a genesis emulator

its not extremely bad, but the sound kinda sucks

its not worth more than $10 which is pretty much what its selling for <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">
