6 altered beast - finally made it to the fifth round!

Dear Readers,

Since last time I've been having lots of trouble on the third round and couldn't get past for a long time. Then I finally did and passed the fourth round too!

5 altered beast - jump kicks are faster! Scored 262,000 points

Dear Readers,

Professor Asobin gave me a hot tool tip when the game was loading. You can kick a lot faster when you're in the air!

4 altered beast - skill setback

Dear Readers,

Played some more Altered Beast and was out of practice. Big setback in skills!

3 altered beast - round 3, the bear jumps like sonic!

Dear Readers,

Now to round 3. It's another depth lower than the last round and has midsection platforms, stalactites and stalagmites.

2 altered beast - round 2, eyeball plant thing

Dear Readers,

I eventually made it to this stage. Underground cave with purple blobs, big rattlesnake dragon things and that stubby beaky thing from Golden Axe.

1 altered beast - rising from my grave, round 1

Dear Readers,

I always had trouble imagining who would be nostalgic for Altered Beast. It must be the power of it being a launch game, as well as a pack-in game for the SEGA Mega Drive. Either way, it's always coming up in SEGA rereleases and the 3D Classics Collection is no different. Let's actually sit down and play it!

2 maze walker - beat the game!

Dear Readers,

I played another good long session of this game and I reached the end! I had to use the Helper Mode though, which gave me much needed 30 lives to start with!

2 sonic the hedgehog - got all emeralds!

Dear Readers,

For the first time ever, I got all six chaos emeralds in Sonic 1! Hooray!

1 maze walker - plodding along in 3d

Dear Readers,

One of the big draws for me to buying SEGA 3D Classics Collection was the inclusion of this Master System game, which originally had an option to be played while wearing 3D glasses. I was tickled by the fact that they went to the trouble to adapt this for 3DS!

1 sonic the hedgehog - half the emeralds

Dear Readers,

Recently I played the whole way through Sonic 1. I haven't done that in years, probably during his 15th anniversary when I beat it for the first time! The version I played is the SEGA 3D Classics Collection for Nintendo 3DS.
