Streets of Rage Remake mod - Altered Beast Arcade

Cm_Blast wrote:It’s time to rise from your grave and play this new mod: a full adaptation of the five stages from the Altered Beast arcade transformed into a more classic Streets of Rage style. This mod has nothing to do with the experiment I did back in time, but I though that (at least) a simple mod could be done with the original arcade, so here it is.

The scenarios have been modified to fit a more classic gameplay, so there is more room to move up and down than in the original scenarios meawhile foreground layers do not block the vision to the player.

Features:
- Five long scenarios full of enemies to fight.
- Enemies based on the original game.
- Custom enemy placement and health.
- Kill the white Cerberus so you can increase your power… I mean, getting food.
- The white Cerberus will drop double the food if there is a second player.
- Final bosses accompanied with some of their minions.
- You finally can rise for your grave.
- Borrowed some sprites from the Megadrive version.
- Over 30 minutes of a hard game for everyone.
- Running is mandatory due pits in mission 3.
- Recommended the Sor3 way to fall on pits, so you don’t die 1 life each time you fall into a pit.
- A very good well deserved ending.

It’s suggested to walk while advancing: kicking the white Cerberus to make them drop the food it’s going to be a difficult task in later levels.

Mission 3 is going to be painful due the way the Cerberus/Bikers behave. I place an extra life to compensate a bit. Full Stage Clears will guarantee score enough to get some more lives, but you can expect to die like any Arcade game.

Have to play it very quickly...

vince wrote:Just finished it, and soooo nice! The first Altered Beast was good, this one is excellent. The backgrounds are better, thare are breakable items, cutscenes, palettes color and names, more customized musics, and very well done enemies placement (the bike/dogs with food are very frustrating when we miss them, but that's the game).
I thought you will do a bonus scene, I don't know, something a little less serious about Altered Beast included in the mod, but not important.
Besides, I miss your jpg with original game/palettes mod comparison for this one, as you did for Cadillac & Dinosaurs and many other mods.

vince wrote:The problem is not the bubble effect, the problem is that the effect doesn't have the good size (see the bubble on the beak of the bird):

Maybe because I play fullscreen, but the result is ugly.

Actually, before playing it, I got a bad feeling about any mistakes, especially those Bikers. Finding a mistake here is not an easy task unlike another MOD since they are passing by just once and there are a lot of them. To make it worse, they are not always appear alone, sometimes they come in pairs (or even more), come in different path at the same time which impossible to kill them all, and the most annoying part is if they come with another type of enemies that knock you down and make those bikers escape easily.

For now, I found 1 Brown Biker with name Orthrus on stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and if I'm not mistaken, there is a Brown Cerberus which dropped a food on stage 4 (you said if we could get a food only if killing White Cerberus, right?)

That's all I know. It's possible if there are another mistakes I haven't found yet due to their numbers and of course their speed. Damn, they are so fast @_@
