I'll bet you thought it was Sonic the Hedgehog that came bundled with the Sega Genesis system when it was first released. Oh my, you are so wrong. If you recall the commercials put out by Sega, it was Altered Beast that was featured rather than a blue hedgehog in need of some ritalin. Altered Beast was actually released in the arcades in 1988. The Genesis version came out in 1990. There isn't much of a difference between the two. This console was made for colorful 16-bit titles. More programming, real looking characters and environments (compared to Nintendos standards anyway) but in the case of Altered Beast, is lacking more levels.

Tackling the game one step at a time, let's talk about what the heck you're doing.

Altered Beast sucks, and I'm not sure why you decided to review this game 15 years after the fact it definitely is not a classic. I'll take a game with 100 levels over that tripe any day. Also, I'm not sure why you think that people assume that Sonic was the first game released with Genesis, I'm not even a real gamer and I know that much. As far as us being entertained by something with that simplicity; this is a lot of the reason why Sega is not building consoles today.
