Original title: "the transformation form that the King of Beasts has never seen before, and the mainframe platform still has such a shameful picture."

What age are the people who played "the King of the Beast" in the game hall? It is no exaggeration to say that those who are a little older are grandfathers. You can see how old this game is.

It may be hard for today's players to imagine the popularity of the King of Beast. Although it was very difficult, it was the top and most popular game at that time, and it could be called the ceiling of action games in the late 1980s.

Before the emergence of "Quick whirlwind", "the King of Beasts" is the most representative of similar games, both home machines and arcade platforms have transplanted works. It is precisely like this that not a few people have come into contact with.

I just don't know which version you came into contact with at that time.

Let's first take a look at the covers of the major game platforms:

The arcade version was released earlier, but there is no cover. In the later stage, the mainframe platform began to pay attention to posters and covers.

The following picture shows the Japanese and American versions of the GEN platform (Sega Genesis Sega five generations). In addition, TCD, TG16 and SMS all use this cover.

ZX, MAX, ST, AMI, C64, and CPC platforms all use this kind of cover. The nearly real-life cover looks more visually impacting, and players only need to take a look at it to understand the general way the game is played.

SMS (American version) (European version) uses the cover, which is clearly a fringed "human wolf" and deliberately draws a moon on the cover. Although it can be transformed into a wolf in the game, it is different from the human wolf in European and American legends, and it has nothing to do with the moon.

Red and white machine version, a variety of ferocious transformation, here has become a docile pet. I can't help it! Children's cartoon style is like this, there is no blood and violence.

In the late 1980s, very few people had red and white machines at home, so many players came into contact with them in arcade arcades. Did you get excited when you saw the character change for the first time?

When we come into contact with this game again on other platforms many years later, we will find that there are not only five transformations in the original game.

Today, the editor will reflect on the screen and transformation of "the King of Beasts" in other games.

TG16 (NEC TurboGrafx-16) could have been a counterweight to red and white machines, but unfortunately Nintendo banned developers from developing games for both TG16 and NES, making the console short-lived. To tell you the truth, is this picture quality that Nintendo can compete with?

If Nintendo didn't have a monopoly, TG16 could definitely crush it. But because of Nintendo's overlord clause, TG16 didn't launch many games and died early.

TG16 Beast King is almost 100% restored to the arcade version, which can be described as perfect in terms of picture quality and fluency.

SMS (full SEGA Master System) red and white machine is not the only one in the eight-bit era, there are too many competitors, of which SEGA is the most competitive. The eight-seat home game console, which went on sale in 1985, has sparked a buying spree in the market.

You can refer to the Beast King released by SMS that year. The picture quality is very good.

The monsters and BOSS that appear in the game are basically restored to the street version.

GEN game machine (American version called Genesis, Japanese call it MD) MD game machine at that time the position of 16-bit machine market is relatively high, even in the initial period of 16-bit machine pioneer, both sales and game quality are the highest at that time.

There is not much difference between the MD platform and the arcade platform, and the difficulty of "the King of the Beast" has increased slightly.

PCE game console (TurboGrafx-CD) We know that no matter what game is released on the PCE platform, there will be some images or villains that we haven't seen before. Because of this, many popular games, even if they are not first released in PCE, are considered PCE games.

The King of Beasts has added an opening screen to the PCE platform:

Red and white machine platform (NES game) although red and white machine was more common at that time, but this game is not very common. There is absolutely no such game in those collection cassettes. I used to see a single card in my classmate's home, and the price is more expensive.

Compared with the arcade platform, the red and white version has several more levels and scenes, as well as a transformation form and some BOSS.

The game has ocean levels, characters can be transformed into ferocious sharks, facing the BOSS is a "sea monster". It's not that difficult, but it looks a little disgusting.

In the game, Fei long also has two colors, which appear in different levels. It can turn red later, and the new BOSS is a winged demon, the most powerful demon before the final BOSS.

After customs clearance, the Beast King defeated the devil, and Athena, who was turned into a bird, finally restored her human form.

The king of beasts took Athena to the temple of Zeus and personally returned the goddess to Zeus. This scene should not be done by all the mainframe platforms.

At the end of the picture, it turns out that the Beast King and Athena are sitting in the cinema, and what happened before is the plot of the movie. The two hugged each other tightly for this hard-won love, and the picture was frozen in this good time. Of course, for us in our childhood, it was a bit shameful to see this.

Children should cover their eyes when they see the affection and love of adults.
