  I got so good at this game, that I was able to 1 credit it with Talon. I couldn't get through the whole run without taking damage, but I was really close. Primal Rage and Killer Instinct were always my favorite fighting games, for when you got tired of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat lol but honestly I spent more on Primal Rage than any other game, just because it clicked with me (I prefer the hold the button specials) though some of the opponents had better ways to counter different move sets, like Sauron is very anti-air and Blizzard stalls you from anywhere. I really liked this game, and the video was very well done.

  There was even a small Dragon Magazine article in the 1990s that gave monster stats to Blizzard, Vertigo and one of the other dinosaurs for the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The hype for Primal Rage really was something.

  Vertigo was my favorite. Even had the toy growing up.

  I just love how you go into the history and context of all the games. You deserve way more subs, my man. Excellent content always.

  My bother and I had several of the toys growing up. The character designs were the coolest thing to 10 year olds. We weren't fighting game enjoyers, but the zeitgeist of MK, SF, KI, and PR during the 90s meant you loved those games and their effect on pop culture no matter what.

  I was absolute trash on every version of this game, but I loved the toys. Especially Talon and Vertigo.

  I tried so hard to pull off the finishers in this game. The only one I could ever get to work was Diablo. <br>Now that you said it ( The game is included on a Midway Treasure collection) I had to go check my old box of games in the basement and sure enough, I have it. <br><br>I might have to open up the PS2 and fire it up.

  I have been waiting for this video! Primal Rage is one of my all-time favorite games. I have heavy nostalgia for this series and have read the novelization of the game (not very good) as well as the comic series. From the videos Ive watched or conversations I have had at conventions, some things I want to point out: the move input system was developed in that manner as a balancing mechanic; basically if you are button mashing you have a better chance of accidentally hitting a combo that way as opposed to remembering a specific pattern like in mortal kombat. They put a lot of effort into making sure the game was balanced between pro and new players.<br>Speaking of mortal kombat, the characters were designed off of the original MK cast IIRC. blizzard to subzero and chaos to kano make enough sense, but i don&apos;t know where it becomes reaching. There are also third fatalities for each character depending on the release and i think chaos&apos;s golden shower was center of controversy between patches. There are some neat secrets like human bowling, volleyball and the raining cows but i dont know if that was in the arcade version. I could honestly go on ad nauseam. It is such a gem of a fighter.
