Shadow of the Beast, called Shadow of the Beast: Mashou no Okite (シャドー･オブ･ザ･ビースト 魔性の掟) in Japan, is an action game developed by Psygnosis for the Commodore Amiga and published by Reflections Interactive. It was brought to a variety of systems including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System in 1991 and 1992 respectively. It was followed by Shadow of the Beast II and the Amiga-exclusive Shadow of the Beast III. The Japanese Mega Drive release featured improved graphics and sound at the request of publisher Victor Musical Industries.
