You were a Roman Centurion. You died bravely in battle. Now, a hundred years later, you have been called back from the grave by Zeus, God of Thunder. Even as he grants you new life he gives you a mission. You must rescue his daughter Athena from the evil clutches of Neff; Lord of the Underworld. From the surface to the very heart of the Underworld you must journey, fighting Neff's undead army every step of the way!
Zombies, demons, gargoyles, three-headed Wolves. But in this life you have been given an edge...the power to transform into magical beasts of awesome power! From a man to a superman...to a werewolf, were-dragon, were-tiger and the ultimate...a Golden Wolf! Each form has supernatural abilities. You'll need them all...for Neff is a fearsome enemy. Fail, and Athena's fate will be unspeakable. Win...and you may take a place in the Pantheon of Immortality! Remember...Never say die!

"Rise from your grave!" Wouldn't you obey Zeus if he had gave you this command? I obeyed. I do not own this game, but back in the past, i rented it for a weekend.
Oh God! Sorry, Zeus! What a weekend. My house was full of friends, cousins and all that step people you know. During the day was nearly impossible to play the game. We had only a few hours to play because everyone wanted to see movies in the only TV set on the house.
The night was our only hope. We get all to sleep early on saturday and set the alarm to wake us about 2AM. Me and my little brother woke up before everyone and disarmed the alarm, so in that night we played the game alone. When everyone woke up in the morning we told them the ending of the game during breakfast.

Altered Beast Trivia
Are emulators like RetroCopy breaking the law?
No! The cold hard facts are there are numerous laws in place that make emulators 100% legal - as they should be! In the past a few companies have unsuccessfully threatened and taken other companies that have made emulators to court , trying to bully them out of their way. They have always lost because it is illegal to force a monopoly.
The only gray area in regards to emulators are when people pirate the games to use in emulators.
However in this day and age you can cheaply and easily buy the original games online (EBAY) or at markets and legally use them in emulators.
Not only that but there are also plenty of 100% free software/games (homebrew) available.
Some companies may want you to believe you have to keep buying the same game over and over again to legally play it but this is not true. These companies are laughing all the way to the bank as they slug their loyal fans multiple times for the exact same product.
How do I play this game in RetroCopy?
If you already own the original cartridge/disk/etc then you can look to Download Altered Beast
If you purchase it on Wii Virtual Console (VC) or XBOX Live Arcade (XBLA) you can still legally download it. The reason for this is due to laws which allow you to backup software that you purchase.
Is this game available on Wii Virtual Console?
If you want to play classic games you should choose the most accurate emulator available to ensure you get an authentic experience.
In this case RetroCopy is a lot more accurate than Virtual Console so we recommend using RetroCopy when you can.
