Kick. Ass. I haven't played this in a long time.

 

[whisper2053]

Cart is on the way. Now to play the waiting game.

 

[Kid Panda]

I predict ASID will post a god score in three days.

Don't be so sure of that brotha.

I'm finding Altered Beast AC tough.

SNKorSWM alluded to avoiding power ups to extend the stages for a higher score. This is feasible in the Genesis port, but not in the arcade version IMO.

I'm going to play both, but I'll be playing AC for survival.

 

[andsuchisdeath]

Genesis

andsuchisdeath - 513,000 - 2-1

I don't know why it didn't occur to me that the game loops. Oops.

What Genesis owner doesn't have Altered Beast!? For shame!

How many times can you skip the boss before it makes you fight him? I think it's twice right? I couldn't imagine fighting some of the bosses with little to no powerups.

I think it is twice.

Me neither.

 

[whisper2053]

My Genny/MD selection is pretty limited.

 

[ballzdeepx]

Heres my Genesis score, you guys might as well just pack it up now because this shit aint gettin topped.
Got to stage 3 boss.
184,000

 

[andsuchisdeath]

Two things.

1. Shouldn't the Genesis scores be put in the Genesis table?
2. I believe ballzdeep's score is just stage 3 (loop one). The table reads that he reached stage 1 on loop 3.
I listed my score as 2-1 because it's stage 1 of the second loop. Single loop stages should just be listed as "1-3", "1-5" etc.

 

[Tyranix95]

Moved.

Hey ballz,

Death is calling you out, man.

So what's the deal. Is it 3-1 (Boss) or 1-3 (Boss).

Two things.

1. My score is almost three times his score. Wouldn't a loop 3 score be a little higher?
2. He never said he reached loop 3.

I'm calling YOU out Tyranix.

 

[ballzdeepx]

Ah my bad sorry guys,
That's only the third level boss on my first loop so 1-3. I wasn't being serious about a good score rather how piss poor my first attempt was.

 

[Tyranix95]

Just messing with you.

I love ballz's bravado in post #11.

 

[ballzdeepx]

No worries! One day I might be able to beat this thing, but I have a feeling Death is going to be dominating this one.

 

[Tyranix95]

It's funny, in this game, the guy you have to beat is Death (Hades).

 

[andsuchisdeath]

I've basically become the New York Yankees.

[whisper2053]

Welp, it's none of the above, but it's the best I've got atm.

whisper2053 - 126,600 - stage 2 - PCE CD

Also my first time playing the game.

Ever.

Lol.

 

[Tyranix95]

I'm gonna put you on your own table then.

Save you from death, for a bit.
