I was fortunate to be one of the main Game Testers on this game back in 1994, helping the dev team tune and balance the game. It was a lot of fun, especially because the dev team had a hard time beating me and always calling me cheap. :P Steve R, Frank K, Chris T, Dennis H, and Jason L -- if you guys see this comment... hollah!! Let's team up again and finish Primal Rage 2!! :D
I met the MK dev team like John Tobias and Ed Boon when I was flown down to the Chicago office to help test one of their games. At that time they started working on MK4. Pretty cool guys. I remembered those guys throwing bunch of CDs around like ninja stars, trying to knock things out and also trying to get them to stick on the walls. I would see them once in a while at our Milpitas office (Bay Area) whenever the company had an All -Hands Meeting. I did meet a couple of their testers, but can't remember their names. One of them was a skinny rocker looking guy.
Larz so out of curiosity, any info on why the controls had you holding buttons and then using the directional pad for moves instead of the more common street fighter or mortal kombat style inputs?
The controls was one of the main things I complained about when I first worked on the game, but the dev team just wanted to be different from the other fighting games. We did have a version where it was just like Street Fighter where you can tap at the buttons instead of holding them down, and it also included 6 buttons instead of 4. The 5th and 6th buttons were just the combination of the two punch buttons and kick buttons, but you can also stick with the usual 4 buttons if you wanted to. I believe that version was for the Japanese market, but I can't remember if it ever got released. We did eventually use the common 6 button format like Street Fighter for Primal Rage II, but of course that game didn't see the light of day.
Larz that's some really awesome insight! I loved everything about the game but the controls always were a tad wonky. Unfortunate the sequel never made it to shelves. Thanks for the reply!
One of the best games ever. I remember calling up the company and getting them to mail me a list of all these moves, before you could find everything on the net.
theguybrarian I wish they revived this game, like SF5 that its constant in its looks, I dont want them to change the characters looks into something too mundane or ugly if they did.
This arcade was placed next to Mortal Kombat in a Mexican restaurant down the street from my house. Being a kid with limited funds, you can imagine the agony I went through trying to decide what I would spend my two or three hard earned quarters on.
Elbi Chomio Must have been Rage if you're here, glad to have you on our side. ;) Jk there really aren't sides (can't confirm actually) but that sounded funny and cool.
I remember having to choose between Primal rage, Mk 3 and killer instinct. It was Christmas and I was stood in Currys ( uk electronics store ) & I couldn't decide which 1 to have so my dad ended up buying me all 3. What's better is he let me open and play on primal rage before Christmas.... I miss my dad!
I miss the arcade days. You’d go out to eat at any restaurant and you could pretty much guarantee they’d have awesome video games you could play, be it this, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc.
I remember waiting in an airport for HOURS to get on a plane to Italy, must have spent like $30 on quarters playing this arcade game in some random hallway next to some vending machines. Fell in love with it.
Tyrant Gregcag I had a toy of her too. Well, it was my brothers' technically, but I always liked it. XD They also had toys of Sauron, Diablo, and Talon.
+Zachary Jorgensen they even made toys for Necrosan and Slash Fang, who were gonna be in the sequel. I loved the toy line for PR as a kid, I still have my Talon figure.
+James Palmer Such a shame that the sequel was never officially released though... And I would really like to see a new third one with today's graphics.
Wow, this was a blast from the past! I used to play this all the time when I was little. A man, close to where I used to live, had the arcade version of this in his store. That machine drained me of my allowance on so many occasions. lol I finally found out it was on the SNES, so I started renting it instead. Also had the action figures too. Yeah, you could say I was a big fan of this game. ^-^
Used to play this at my local arcade and on my home PC on the daily as a kid. Ended up having dreams about it at one point. A remaster of this would be a blessing.
To be fair, he is also the most moral among the gods, so from that point of view, his fatality where he sends his opponent's soul up to Heaven makes sense.
I also thought that was odd. It is fitting that he can send you to Heaven instead of just eating you, but they could have given that same gimmick to Armadon, instead of having that supposedly "Good" protector-deity literally BATHE in his opponent's blood.
That's funny, I was helping my parents move out of their house about a year ago and we were going through some old toys of me and my brothers and I found Sauron ( 0:07 ) and Talon ( 0:38 ) toys from years ago.
yea my friend had Talon and i got one that wasn't in the game it was just a new addition to the toy series it was a saber tooth thing was hella bad ass
I believe they made a Saber Tooth for Primal Rage II but that game technically never came out I believe there is a few prototype Arcades out there or what not I'm sure you can get some videos of it here on RUclips as well. That's what's up though!
I really hope this franchise returns one day, sure the game isn't too fantastic but it had this really cool charm to it and some very memorable characters. Vertigo and Diablo were my 2 favourites, Vertigo had such a unique, striking design that really made her stand out compared to the rest of the cast whereas Diablo was just badass, he literally sends you too hell!
I wouldn't mind if they brought back the two new monster from Primal Rage 2, but I really hope that they don't add in the whole human aspect, since it's so out of place. If anything, it can probably have at least one or two of them, while the others are DLC, but it'd be a shame if they are in the story. I'd rather see more new monsters and dinosaurs, such as a Spinosaurus, a Carnotaurus, etc., all in an HD, beautiful graphics remake.
I remember playing this game for the first time at a Peter Piper Pizza in the Springs of Colorado. I had a copy for the SNES. I now own the PS1 copy, and it still works!!
Sauron was my favorite back then. he was just so intimidating and scary and the idea of the victor eating their opponent was so disturbing. I loved this game and still do lol
Primal Rage was one of the first games i ever played i was around 4 years old and although i don't remember much i remember being enamored with the music that played when you conquered the other lands. its really cool to finally see the rest of what the game offered i went back to it a few years ago and couldn't get past the weird control scheme.
I want a Primal Rage DLC in Gigabash. If you don’t know what that is it’s a giant monster fighting game that HAS Godzilla as a DLC character. It also has Ultraman.
+magicscreenman I heard someone say once that, since he's disgusting and disease-ridden, that when he jumps into someone's water he's poisoning their water supply.
Ahhhh the memories! Back when I was a lil tyke most of my friends weren't allowed to play this. My mom was really into games so she bought it and let us play it. It's amazing how far games have come.
Just imagine a remake, with updated dino models, some more dinosaurs/beasts in general, and HD! Some of those locations would look gorgeous in today's graphics, and fatalities could be upgraded to look even more gruesome!
I had one of the high scores when I was like 12 on this game at an arcade machine at a swapmeet some streets from where I still live. Now I'm 21 and boy does this bring back memories, wish it was on ps4 I'd buy it for nostalgia alone. This game deserves to be remastered with maybe a bit more content (story/maps, beasts, it being playable against other people might not hurt either)
I remember playing this game all the time in my local Chuck.E.Cheese with my dad. He would always kick my butt at it but dam does it bring back the nostalgia its one of my best child hood memories
This game brings me back to when I was about 20.....a lifetime ago. Funny thing, the combos my buddies used where phenomenal, but they only knew few finishers. Thanks for uploading this vid.
I loved not just the premise and the design, but the actual fight mechanics of this game. Hopefully we’ll get a reboot. Even if we have to wait a millennia for a holodeck version.
My love of dinosaurs as a kid started with this game. Then I learned that dinosaurs were like this. If this were our post-apocalyptic world, I wouldn’t mind.
I remember playing this all the time, and there's an old arcade game of it in a rest-stop in NJ that I stop at whenever I pass through! Always played as Vertigo, and she's the reason I have a tattoo on the back of my neck :)
Loved this game. Like my favorite arcade game to see at this old koa we always stopped at during vacation. Played the shit out of it. This would be a fun game to see remade easy
God damn them polish in this game Such an outstanding transition from arcade to console Also you know what we need? A team of fans to revive the series/make a successor
Wow! All of Diablo's finishers are awesome! I thought everyone had at least one rather silly finisher just for the sake of it, but Diablo has none. All of his finishers are badass!
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Playing as dinosaurs and gargantuan apes is pretty cool. It saddened me when the sequel got cancelled. I'd like to see this game make a comeback sometime.
I remember playing this in Laughlin all the time! There was no other arcade game I would play. Armadon was my favorite because there was a move where he curls up and smashes the opponent. Very brutal
Talon is close to the accurate raptor, because the real dinosaurs weren't just scales, they also had feathers especially on the head. I truly love the colors of this raptor as well!
How badass would it be if NetherRealm Studios did an updated version of this? Imagine this game with the graphics of Mortal Kombat X. Arrrrgh I want it so badly.
+Life And Death Just curious I just got this game for the ps2 and I can't pull off but Blizzards 2 da moon fatality do you have to be at a certain distance to pull off each fatality or what cuz I'm holding the right buttons to do other characters fatalities and can't pull a certain one please message me back and let me know thanks.
I read on the primal rage wikia that since Chaos is so filthy (probably due to wallowing in his own excrement for eons), he contaminates the water supply, and kills everybody that way.
Jamie Acree Eons? I dunno, I read that he was a man of science before the Cataclysms. Yes, *man* . He was human. I dunno how he came to be a deity unless Chaos was a separate entity who chose this human as a vessel, and the profile I read doesn't explain very well his reason for fighting the others.
Jamie Acree So, I was incorrect about Chaos being a man of science, and so was the wiki! For shame... Anyway, he was a shaman, and apparently he fights the other beasts to appease a goddess so she can change him back.
Freaking loved this game. I REALLY wish they would remake it the same way they did Killer Instinct. I love the way the animals act like wrestlers in a ring. XD
Never thought Id see the day somebody put a youtube vid of this game out there. This was da shit back in the day. Diablo and Talon and Sauren was my mines. Vertigo was the hardest to play as for me.
One of my all-time favorite arcade games, I even had the poorly performing Sega Genesis port at home. Sad to see how badly the animation has aged, but the character designs are still fantastic!
This game is still a classic! Definitely the Arcade version is best, I have ports on various consoles but always find myself playing this version when I play Primal Rage.
Man, this old gem needs to be brought back. Can’t imagine how good it would look and play with modern tech.
@@Hobby555_ what does Nintendo have to do with it?
@Travis The Maximus hobby is probably 12. He doesn’t know what he is talking about

August 1994. The Game was overshadowed by the Home Console release of Mortal Kombat 2.
Sounds like you need to play more games.
@@toddzombie8777 Sounds like you are gay.
Love how Diablo just straight sends his opponent to hell
"TO HELL WITH YOU!" (Stomp) "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!!!"
Inversely, Blizzard (his arch-enemy) sends his opponent to Heaven.
I like how all the monsters do a victory dance when they do their fatality........except for Diablo. He's having none of it.
@@mdalsted I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WASN'T INTENTIONAL.

Who said it wasn't? I think promotional material called Blizzard and Diablo the Gods of Good and Evil, respectively.

so this game is just classic mortal kombat but with animals ? ........... EPIC
And most of those animals are prehistoric!
robert20351
Dinosaurs and giant apes. Makes it feel like King Kong and many Ray Harryhausen films, don't you think?

The bowling alley in my hometown had this arcade in it, and I remember watching the demo as a kid. Vertigo always scared the crap out of me.

Am I the only one that is confused as to why *BLIZZARD* does not have an ice related fatality?
Samuel Albouze Yeah, he could've frozen em and uppercutted the opponent while they were stuck.
To be fair, he is also the most moral among the gods, so from that point of view, his fatality where he sends his opponent's soul up to Heaven makes sense.
I also thought that was odd. It is fitting that he can send you to Heaven instead of just eating you, but they could have given that same gimmick to Armadon, instead of having that supposedly "Good" protector-deity literally BATHE in his opponent's blood.
possibly to difer his and vertigo's finishing, which petrifies her opponent
Defeating evil ain't pretty.
The guys behind killer instinct could easily remake this game and give it an M rating, I'd definitely play it!
I wonder how the graphics would look if a new one was being made.

I find that strange, because this game wasn't meant for kids. O__o
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Playing as dinosaurs and gargantuan apes is pretty cool. It saddened me when the sequel got cancelled. I'd like to see this game make a comeback sometime.
The contrast between Blizzard's and Diablo's fatalities.
The ape sends them to heaven while the dino sends them to hell.
This game came out with the best toys.
I remember playing this in Laughlin all the time! There was no other arcade game I would play. Armadon was my favorite because there was a move where he curls up and smashes the opponent. Very brutal
imagine this with the detail of MK X
My first time ever playing this game was at shakeys, good times
I played this game all the time when I was a kid. I even had a talon toy. I also had no idea that fatalities existed in this game either lol.
I remembered playing this all the time as vertigo back in the days but completely lost the name of it. Childhood memories :'^]
Talon is close to the accurate raptor, because the real dinosaurs weren't just scales, they also had feathers especially on the head. I truly love the colors of this raptor as well!
How badass would it be if NetherRealm Studios did an updated version of this? Imagine this game with the graphics of Mortal Kombat X. Arrrrgh I want it so badly.
yeah that would be badass I even made a story for it
That needs to happen
One of my favorite games of my childhood. I loved how if you conquered the whole game you got to eat the villagers hahaha
30 years old and people still want this back, including me
thank you so much for also putting down the special move list and what buttons they are!
All good, have fun killing!
thank you!
+Life And Death
Just curious I just got this game for the ps2 and I can't pull off but Blizzards 2 da moon fatality do you have to be at a certain distance to pull off each fatality or what cuz I'm holding the right buttons to do other characters fatalities and can't pull a certain one please message me back and let me know thanks.
+Life And Death
And I have the same version from Midway Arcade Treasures sorry.
Brian Snider Stand about where I am in the video, if it doesn't work it's been so long I'll have to try and figure out why.
I love the canonball into the pond, how is that a fatality? more like a escapingthesceneofthecrimequicklytality
His gimmick is that he's chaotic. He doesn't do anything that makes since.
I read on the primal rage wikia that since Chaos is so filthy (probably due to wallowing in his own excrement for eons), he contaminates the water supply, and kills everybody that way.
Jamie Acree Eons? I dunno, I read that he was a man of science before the Cataclysms. Yes, *man* . He was human. I dunno how he came to be a deity unless Chaos was a separate entity who chose this human as a vessel, and the profile I read doesn't explain very well his reason for fighting the others.
Jamie Acree So, I was incorrect about Chaos being a man of science, and so was the wiki! For shame... Anyway, he was a shaman, and apparently he fights the other beasts to appease a goddess so she can change him back.
More like a FRIENDSHIP
I used to play this when I was three... ah the nostalgia...
So did I and my sister. I look back on this now and have no doubts as to why she and I have a violent creativity.
Freaking loved this game. I REALLY wish they would remake it the same way they did Killer Instinct. I love the way the animals act like wrestlers in a ring. XD
never heard of this game back then but i’m sure I’d play the hell out of it
Even if the fatals are more simplistic than MKs at the time, the details are much more graphic and visceral.
2:37 Oh I'm sorry, did Chaos just yeet himself away from the body?
Such a great game for its time & i remember having action figures of blizzard and vertigo.
Just remembered playing this game as a kid in the late 90's. Definitely deserves a reboot.
Man…. This takes me back. Besides mortal kombat, this was my go to arcade and armadon was my guy wrecking house
You see that guy right there that diablo that's the reason me and my cousins aren't as close as we could be
jama655 Why you both wanted to be him or you both rekd eachother with him?
Probably both
Sick ass game that needs a remake
The finishing move from 1:51 is my favorite.
Never thought Id see the day somebody put a youtube vid of this game out there. This was da shit back in the day. Diablo and Talon and Sauren was my mines. Vertigo was the hardest to play as for me.
This may sound wrong, but looking at Sauron, Talon and Vertico eat makes me hungry.
Mortal Kombat makes me hungry for meat too. ^^
Mileena will love you
One of my all-time favorite arcade games, I even had the poorly performing Sega Genesis port at home. Sad to see how badly the animation has aged, but the character designs are still fantastic!
This game is still a classic! Definitely the Arcade version is best, I have ports on various consoles but always find myself playing this version when I play Primal Rage.
The ports were all passable. But the 32X one was rushed.
The one thing I hated about the SNES port was that they swapped Blizzard's victory and defeat screams with each other.
