Item Description

Picture Mortal Kombat with the fighters swapped for stop-motion dinosaurs worshipped as gods, and you have Primal Rage. Atari Games' 1994 arcade answer to the fighting-game boom set its battles on Urth, an Earth shattered by a meteor, where ancient beasts awaken to fight for control of what is left. The Super Nintendo version brings that strange, savage premise home.

The roster splits between beasts who protect the land and beasts who want to rule it. Blizzard is a noble, ice-breathing ape; Chaos is his filthy and decidedly less noble rival; Sauron and Diablo are hulking tyrannosaurs, one brutish and one wreathed in flame; Talon is a quick, slashing raptor. Every fighter began as a physical model animated frame by frame and then digitized, which gives them a weight and texture that hand-drawn sprites of the era rarely matched.

Matches have a gruesome sense of humor. Tiny human worshippers scurry around the edges of each arena, and you can snatch them up and eat them to win back health. Special moves are performed by holding button combinations while working the directional pad, every beast has its own finishing moves, and Chaos in particular is famous for finishers best described as unsanitary. Two players can go head to head, which is where this cartridge earned its keep at sleepovers.

Primal Rage made a big splash on the strength of that concept, landing on just about every home platform of the mid-1990s, while its planned arcade sequel never made it to release. That makes the original the whole story, and the SNES cartridge captures its odd blend of B-movie monster mayhem and serious fighting-game competition.
