🎮 Rise from your nostalgia grave and power up for a wild ride through gaming history! 🐺

In this episode of "The Way We Played," we're flexing our memory muscles harder than a pixelated bodybuilder as we dive into the bizarre world of Altered Beast. Join your hosts as they transform this Sega classic from a forgotten relic into comedy gold!

🕹️ What's in store:

  • Uncover the development saga that's zanier than Zeus's family tree
  • Analyze gameplay smoother than a werewolf's pick-up lines
  • Critique graphics that scream "I work out... my pixels!"
  • Relive the audio that haunted a generation's dreams (and memes)
  • Explore the cultural impact that's lasted longer than most gym memberships

👾 Highlights:

  • The true story behind "Rise from your grave!" (Spoiler: It wasn't actually a motivational speaker)
  • Why Altered Beast is the "Mona Lisa of muscular metamorphosis"
  • How this game walked (or awkwardly punched) so God of War could run
  • Personal reflections that'll hit you right in the nostalgia feels
  • Our patented, totally-not-made-up Nostalgia Score™

Whether you're a die-hard Sega fan, a retro gaming enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates the absurdity of a game where you punch wolves to become a bear, this episode is for you!

So grab your protein shake, set your pecs to flex, and get ready for an episode more transformative than a power-up orb. Welcome to your doom... of uncontrollable laughter!

🎧 Listen now, or we'll send a pixelated werewolf after you! (Just kidding, our lawyers say we can't actually do that.)
