I never saw an arcade cabinet for Altered Beast and only played it in Genesis where it was kind of a shit game compared to Golden Axe.

Those bastard gnomes!

Imagine having to go on some adventure where you sleep directly on the desert floor and it’s full of deadly hand-to-hand combat killing hundreds of people, and thinking, “I’m gonna wear my white and red bikini and red boots.”

It was the 80’s (Golden Axe released in 1989, to be specific) . It was the style of the time.
