Altered Beast

Let the beast inside of you do its worst in this excellent adventure offering, which sees you taking on everything the Underworld has to throw at you in a desperate bid to save the Princess Athena from the evil Nell, Lord of the Underworld.

Risen from the grave, you are given awesome superpowers, enabling you to transform into different beasts to suit the occasion.

Picking up the spirit balls will boost your powers enough to make the change and take on the host of evil adversaries that stands between you and success.

Altered Beast

As Strongman, your strength is increased tenfold, allowing you to punch and kick your enemies into oblivion. As Werewolf and Weretiger, your skin-shredding teeth are enough to deter even the most ardent of assailants, while as Bear, your bad breath should take the wind out of most enemy attacks.

Use your powers carefully and be sure to stock up on the spirit balls at all times.

You'll have to be very good indeed to get Athena back to poor old Zeus and mastering the different controls for each of your split personalities may take some getting used to. Once you have, however, this is one blast that'll keep you coming back time and time again for another slice of the action.

Again, this one is a multiload, so keep the cassette ready at all times. That said, the atmosphere of this blast is electric and the soundtrack is out of this world. If you haven't seen this one before, make sure you make it one of your next purchases - you won't be disappointed.
