Altered Beast arrives to POWER UP you retro needs
One of my first “ever” 16-Bit console titles I played was Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis.

From the beginning level your told to “Rise from your grave” to the “POWER UP” voice every time you picked up an energy orb for your transformation upgrades. Altered Beast will always hold a special place in my heart.

Underrated, But Not Forgotten
I wanted to take a bit of your time to introduce myself. If you visited the various gaming sites out there you’ve probably seen some of my comments, but most of the Bitbag audience probably knows me from my random comments during the chat that takes place as the Warzone is being recorded. For the most part I play fighting games and do more than my fair share of retro gaming. For my first post I thought I would talk about SNK/NEO GEO since KOFXII is coming out soon.

* How to achieve N4G happiness (Torrence)
* Red Faction impressions (Torrence)
* Brink impressions (Hiphopgamer & Torrence)
* Quantum impressions (Hiphopgamer)
* G4TV possibly coming off the air (Hiphopgamer)
* And much much more…
