    I thought altered beast was the pinnacle of two player gaming at one point. I played it recently and decided to do laundry instead.

      I could never beat the first level when I was a kid. But I played that game over and over and enjoyed every minute of it.

        My tolerance for repetition has gone waayy down. It used to be so common to die and then start over in a game, trying to make it just a little further at each go. It never seemed boring to me, but I have very little tolerance for games that make me do this now.

      Lol I’m working on a MAME emulator system and saw the roms for Altered Beast yesterday, and I wondered if I should bother, because I remember playing it some in the arcade. Sounds like I should skip it!
