All the 40 somethings in here: "Altered Beast!".

Everyone else: "Uh, what?"

As a non 40 something can confirm

I'm a simple man. I see Altered Beast, I upvote.

It's funny to see which things haven't transferred over through cultural osmosis through the years. I would have assumed most people here would still recognize this. Clearly I'm an out of touch relic!

What are you talking about? Every comment I see here is about altered beast.....

Bro I'm early 30s and I was like "OHHHH SHIT MY CHILDHOOD!" haha

You must have older siblings, altered beast was released in 1988

Actually I'm the oldest! I just had a lot of games that weren't exactly cutting edge at the time lol

Nothing wrong with that! Your parents got you what they could afford, and old games are still fun too.

I may be biased though. I bought a PS4 in 2015, and rarely played it. I bought a PS5 this year, and only have 2 games for it.

But my Switch? I literally made the guy on the Nintendo hotline say "Wow.....I wasn't expecting that many games."

And honestly? I'm baffled by how I have so many games on my switch. Especially since they all seem to lean towards "These are older games from the 80s/90s, or emulate the style of those games."

When you can shock a Nintendo represenitive, you know you have a problem.

stands up
