Altered Beast

Zeus has called upon you! Only a brave and fearless warrior can save his beloved daughter, Athena, from the cunning clutches of Neff, the evil Lord of the Underworld.

Summoned from the grave, you are bestowed with supernatural powers. Collect "mystical" spirit balls and transform into an awesome array of creatures with formidable forces. As The Strongman, Werewolf, Weretiger, and Weredragon, rip the flesh of devilsh demons. As Werebear knock out your enemies with one bad breath!

You hear distant ceies of the beautiful Athena and as the terrors of The Underworld tighten their grasp, the beast within you rises to face the final battle.

With five complete rounds, the onslaught of Neff's underlings is staggering. But Neff promises to be the most loathsome enemy yet, so prepare yourself for the worst. And remember, Zeus didnt bring you back from the grave to fail!

HINTS.....
To transform into an altered beast, defeat the three-headed wolves and the spirit balls they release. You must capture 3 spirit balls before you can turn into an Altered Beast.

Wolves release only 1 ball per defeat. If the game is played with 2 players, 2 spirit balls will be released from the wolves.
