Primal Rage arcade fighter with dinosaurs and mythic giants. The stop-motion aesthetic is unique and two-player mode fun. Technically dated but keeps its prehistoric character.

Description
Prehistoric fighter by Probe Entertainment. Published by Time Warner Interactive, released in 1996 in Japan. Seven digitised prehistoric beasts, gory special moves and stop-motion arenas. Japanese release.
Primal Rage is a fighter of digitized prehistoric creatures by Probe Entertainment, published in Japan by Time Warner Interactive. The Japanese version is markedly less widespread than its Western counterparts, explaining high complete prices despite a modest rating. Collecting appeal rests on the rarity of this JP edition with spine card and the kitsch aura of the arcade title, sought by fans of digitized fighters and Japanese versions of Western hits.
