Altered Beast with Arcade Voice Samples

This is a ROM hack of Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis, created by the user Rikuchan. It replaces the game's original sound driver with the actual voice samples ripped from the arcade version. That means when you power up or transform, you'll hear the classic arcade shouts instead of the Genesis's synthesized attempts. The hack doesn't change anything else - just the audio, so if you always felt the Genesis port was missing that arcade punch, this is the fix. What you actually do in the game remains the same as the original Genesis release. You move left to right through five stages, punching and kicking undead enemies like skeletons and demons. Every few levels you collect spirit balls to power up, eventually transforming into a werewolf, a dragon, or one of the other beasts. Each form has different attacks, and you fight a boss at the end of each stage. The core loop is simple: walk forward, fight, transform, fight harder enemies. For fans of the arcade original, this hack is the best way to experience Altered Beast on the Genesis without the awkward voice work. It's not a deep or long game - you can finish it in under an hour - but it's a nice preservation effort that fixes one of the biggest complaints about the home port. If you're into ROM hacks that tweak audio or just want to hear the wolf howl properly, this one's worth a quick playthrough.
