獣王記
獣王記 ([i]Juuou-ki[/i], lit. [i]"Beast King's Chronicle"[/i]) is a 1988 beat'em up arcade [[video game]] developed and manufactured by [[Sega]]. Its North American title is [b]Altered Beast[/b].

The primary designer was "Uchida Makoto":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makoto_Uchida , also responsible for the creation of the first [[Golden Axe]] game.

The game is set in Ancient Greece, and follows a beastman warrior [JP version] / centurion [EN version] who is unsealed/resurrected by Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena, and to do so becomes able to turn into beasts such as a magical [[werewolf]] with the use of power-ups to fight against legions of monsters and the undead. 

After its initial arcade release, it was ported to several home video game consoles and home computers, most notably the [[Sega Master System]] and the [[Sega Mega Drive]], for which it was a pack-in game. The Mega Drive version has been ported into the [[Nintendo 3DS]] as "”3D Juuouki”":http://archives.sega.jp/3d/juouki/ in 2013.

For its 2005 [[Playstation 2]] remake with a more [[science_fiction|sci-fi]] setting, use [[Juuouki ~PROJECT ALTERED BEAST~]] tag.
