Description
Primal Rage 2D fighting with dinosaurs and prehistoric monsters. Published by Time Warner Interactive, released in Japan and the USA between 1995 and 1996. Seven prehistoric creatures with signature attacks, detailed stop-motion sprites, arcade and versus modes, blood and fatalities and post-cataclysm universe.
Same stop-motion dinosaur fighter, but the NTSC-U version stands apart with markedly greater scarcity than the PAL. A tighter American print run and retro-fighting demand lift its value, with loose copies costlier than in Europe. Genuine collecting interest on the US side, where the original Time Warner release keeps a sought-after presence.
