Shadows of the Beast / Psygnosis


Last week i got Sega MegaDrive Ultimate Collection an seeing Altered Beast i got excited.
As a kid, i had an Amiga 500..(shit had the illest games..nuffsaid) an was blown away by this one joint which involved a warrior character which could shapeshift into a beast.. graphics were way ahead of its time, soundtrack was fuckin dope..anyway, i thought this was Altered Beast..oh how i was WRONG!!

After Googling "Aminga 500 Beast" i found out that:
a) I was thinking of SHADOWS OF THE MUTHAFUCKIN BEAST!!
b) Altered Beast sucks in comparison!!

Check this whole shit out:
Step One: Get this (config)
Step Two: Insert this
Step Three: Disc One Disc Two
There you go..plug an play baby
On a similar note: Psygnosis, the company that put out SOTB, apart from putting out games of a very high standard also put out top-notch covers.. you may notice similarities between Yes's album covers an what's below, that's because they too were all done by Roger Dean. His shit is A*mazing!!!

Enjoy!!

shadow of the beast was classic

each one better than the one before, each with its own atmosphere and character... shadow of the beast iii was way way head of its time....
