NOTES: SEGA Special! At over 45 minutes in length, this episdoe is Chock Full o' SEGA. Our host has often praised Sega's smorgasbord of classic games (on all platforms), but now, for your convenience, nearly all of the PCE ports have been compiled into one succulent entree. A feast for your ears, comrade! A feast for your ears. Predicatably, Odonadon 2000 rears his silicon chip to offer a primer on the "16-bit Wars" of the early 1990's. Things get far more interesting when tensions rise between Odonadon 2000 and our venerable host. "I could kick your ass at Gate of Thunder!" taunts Odonadon 2000. I don't doubt it. Our host has a history of struggling with shoot-em-ups. Also, as a true LOVER OF SEGA, our host prefers the Sega Master System (SMS) renditions of many songs presented in this episode. I'll be honest-there is a special place for the SMS tunes in my heart, too.
TRIVIA CHALLENGE:
(A)According to our host, there is a special place in Hell for the folks responsible for the PCE port of _______________. (83 points for correct answer!)
(B) Circle the correct answers. At the end of the show, our host timidly whispers that the (SMS / PCE) port of Shinobi is a better game, but concedes that the (SMS / PCE) version offers better tunes. (7 points for each correct answer!)

Yes, Altered Beast was released on both HuCARD and CD-ROM formats for PCE. Surprisingly, there are minor aesthetic differences between the games.
