Primal Rage was released in September 1994. The concept of the game borrows heavily from Taito's 1992 arcade unit "Dino Rex". Atari had intended to create another upgrade for PR 2.3 and was scheduled at this time for January 1995. This upgrade would allow the player to face a boss monster at the end of the game for total domination of the world. The final boss was supposed to be a horned dracolich (animate dragon skeleton) imprisoned in the moon, with three claws on each limb and 3 spines on the end of his tail. It was also supposed to have the powers of flight and the ability to drain the opponent's lifeforce. The final battle ground would be a moon scene with the skeletons of numerous dinosaurs laying around in decaying states. The ground would be covered with craters and giant, glowing cracks. A teleportation warp would exist overhead. Unfortunately, Atari scrapped the idea for this upgrade because Time Warner Interactive been too busy at this time to work on an upgrade and the boss was never came into existence. :( The June 1996 issue of GamePro magazine confirms that Ellie Rovella of Gilbert, Arizona became enraged when her 11-year-old son bought Primal Rage for his Sega Genesis and played the game using GamePro's strategy guide to execute Chaos' golden shower fatality. Rovella was so outraged she not only returned the game, but also launched a grass-roots campaign. As part of this, the fatality was famously censored on the Super Nintendo version by placing a large 'censored' bar over the screen when it was performed. Michael Todd holds the official record for version 1.7 of this game with 5881500 points. Michael Todd holds the official record for version 2.3 of this game with 671500 points. A line of toy action figures based on all seven characters of PR were made by Playmates in 1996. Atari released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (All The Rage). Here is the big list of version 2.3 changes : * 100% health bug from ver 1.7 fixed. * 'fatality'/'no fatality' music added; other music enriched w/more percussion. * A previous high score drops to 2nd when beaten. * All Leaping Attacks can be blocked. * All Stomps can be blocked and/or done in the air. * Armadon can volley his victim after the Mega Charge. * Armadon, Blizzard, Talon slowed down. * Armadon's Spinning Death and Mega Charge don't go under projectiles any more. * Blizzard's Freeze Breath inflicts damage; Freeze Breath & Ice Geyser don't last as long. * Block-damage usually won't kill you. * Chaos' Battering Ram makes an annoying new sound. * Chaos' Cannonball finishing move can kill enemies on any stage. * Combo names, Total Domination, Quick Kill features added. * CPU's 'AI' patterns changed; many old tricks no longer work, but some new tricks do. * Demo mode intro text has letters made of bones instead of black letters. * Diablo, Sauron, most leaping attacks, most projectiles speed up. * Diablo's Torch combos more easily. * Diablo's Inferno Flash can be blocked. * Eating humans adds much more energy to your health meter. * Gameplay speed changed. * Generally, damage to heart & brain meters decreased, but block-damage to heart increased. * Gone are the faint 'blue shields' that used to appear when blocking attacks. * Hop jumps can now be used vs the CPU. * If you're on the ground, projectiles don't knock you down any more. * In free play mode, the words 'DEMO ONLY' appear & CPU can't hurt you. * Little SF2-style 'Christmas Lights' added; they flash with every strike, blocked or not. * One new fatality for each character added. * Simultaneous attack collisions tuned : 'sweet spots' removed, quick->fierce->power->quick 'round robin' priority system added. * Sudden Death lasts for 30 seconds instead of 20. * Talon can attack (or be attacked) as he rebounds from the Brain Basher. * Talon's low 4 is cheesy to use twice in a combo. * Talon's Pounce & Flip does no block-damage. * Talon's Shredder fatality made gorier. * Vertigo has a new teleport and can do both old & new teleports in the air. * Alternate Costumes (vers. 2.3 only) : Highlight a fighter at the character selection screen, then press 1+2, 1+3, or 1+4. * Bowling : Both players must choose Armadon. Do the Spinning Death move and collide in mid-spin three times in a row. A bowling game will pop up. * Volleyball : One player should do a multi-hit combo a worshipper will enter the area, hit him and they will fly in the air. The other player needs to hit the player before he hits the ground--toward player 1, if you keep this up for ten hits, the ref will bring out a volleyball net. Play for 3 pts. * PR version : To check what version of Primal Rage your arcade has, push Up on player1 joystick and pull Down on the player2 joystick simultaneously, during the title screen. * Raining Cows : Play as Chaos in his stage (the Ruins). Arrange for a 'Sudden Death' round to take place (If the third round ends without a clear winner [both characters have zero wins, or one win each], you both get knocked down and go immediately into a 'Sudden Death' round). If you do a 'Fart of Fury' so that the green cloud is in the air as the Sudden Death begins, the sky will rain cows instead of meteors. If you don't do a 'Fart of Fury' on Chaos' stage, the sky will rain bricks. If Sudden Death occurs on Blizzard's stage, the sky will rain ice balls.

Chris McMullen of the Games Domain says it all about this excellent conversion of a hit coin-op fighting game: "Primal Rage has the standard plot.. you know the stuff.. 'wizard' etc.. blah blah 'parallel dimension' 'imprisoned gods'. Hardly remarkable, but then again, these stories are rarely read more than once, and usually only provide the flimsiest of reasons for the combatants to lay into each other with great gusto. But Primal Rage does have that 'spark of originality' that is so hard to find in many games. Gone are the scantily clad amazon women and muscle bound men, and in their place are seven of the most fearsome dinosaurs and and apes this side of a Michael Crichton film, ready to fight with tooth and claw for world domination (what else?), taking place over seven different locations around New Urth. The contenders range from Sauron, a flesh hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex, to Blizzard, an ape from the frozen wastes, each defending their own territory. Once you choose your character, you will be pitched into a fearsome battle, as each dino makes their bid for survival. And there's blood. Lots of it. Blood! Blood! *ahem* Sorry. The graphics are also particularly good. While there is no Super VGA mode (which would invitably slow down the game), the backdrops and animation are more than adequate. The fighter's movements were captured from a number of stop motion 3d models, carefully created, and then moved into position. For example, to get a punch movement, a model's (built on a wire frame) arm would be moved, just a little, then a capture would be taken of the model. The arm would be moved a little more, and captured again, till the whole sequence was completed. Anyone who's seen Jason and the Argonauts will know what I mean. But don't be fooled.. the animation is very smooth, and hardly jerky. Each character is, as is now standard, is equipped with their own set of special moves, which inflict extra damage upon the luckless opponent. These too, manage to be distinctly out of the ordinary, and although there are the standard fireball moves, each fighter is equipped with around 7 unique special moves. In addition to the range of lethal special moves, each player is also equipped with three fatalities (as has become the norm since Mortal Kombat), which allow you to finish your opponent in a number of vicious ways, all sure to corrupt the minds of gamesplayers everywhere. These range from flesh eating, to incinerating your opponent, or tearing various organs out. Gameplaywise, Primal Rage measures up pretty well. There's the usual mix of punches and kicks, or rather, bites and slashes. It's not too hard to pull off decent combos, and the moves are pretty easy to access, even on a keyboard. The moves themselves are pretty imaginative, although there are a couple of dragon punch rip-offs included. Hits do feel like they connect, although the characters don't seem to have quite as much weight as MK2, or Street Fighter 2. Another point, although this can be put down to the arcade machine, is that after conquering all the lands, the player has to take on the all the other fighters together, in the Final Battle. This is an original idea, but I wouldn't have minded a boss character as well. A skeletal creature, perhaps? All the moves are there, including all the bonus games from the arcade. Plus, there are a number of bonuses, including a tournament mode, and access to all the bits of the game that arcade owners only ever got to see. TWG have managed to produce a game that blows away every other Rage conversion, and most of the PC Beat-em up market. " If you like beat 'em ups, particularly Mortal Kombat games and their fatalities, you will probably like this arcade-perfect conversion as well. Download Primal Rage.
