In the single-player arcade mode, the player selects any character and faces with a series of fights against computer-controlled beasts of increasing difficulty. There are 16 selectable difficulty levels. The player gains dominion over each portion of Urth as opponents are defeated. Instead of a final boss, the final battle (accessible only at difficulty level 7 or higher in the Mega Drive and 32X versions or difficulty level 10 or higher in the Saturn version) consists of fighting all the other monsters one at a time in a single battle. Opponents that were previously defeated with a finishing move take more damage from attacks. This match has no time limit, and the character does not gain any health back in between opponents. However, the fight is preceded by a "feast" mini-game where the character can increase his or her health bar by eating as many worshipers as possible within a time limit. A second player can challenge the first at any time by pressing {{Start}}, with the winner continuing the game.

    Primal Rage (プライマルレイジ) is a 1994 arcade fighting game by Atari Games. The following year, the game saw ports to the Sega Mega Drive, Sega 32X, Sega Game Gear, and Sega Saturn, amongst other platforms, developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Time Warner Interactive (with the exception of the 32X version which, like T-MEK, was published by Sega instead).

    The Japanese Saturn version, released nearly two years after the Western releases, is notable for being the only port of that time to be released under the Midway Manufacturing name, removing any mention of Time Warner Interactive as the company had been absorbed into Midway's home division a few years prior.

    A Sega Mega-CD 32X version was planned[7], but cancelled.

    Story

    A massive meteor strike has devastated Earth. Human civilization comes to an end in the ensuing cataclysms and humanity regresses into tribes of Stone Age dwellers. A primordial rainforest covers the land and the continental landmass has shifted into the shape of a fire-breathing dinosaur skull. The planet is now primitively referred to as "Urth" by the survivors of the cataclysms. Seven fearsome creatures with supernatural abilities emerge from their slumber deep within the Urth's crust, and become worshiped as gods by the humans, who form segregated clans beneath the ones they follow. The beasts themselves are divided between those who wish to keep peace on Urth, and those who attempt to plunge the world into further chaos for their own benefit.

    Gameplay

    Mega Drive, 32X, and Saturn versions

    Urth

    Primal Rage is a two-dimensional fighting game in which two players select characters resembling prehistoric beasts to battle each other in one-on-one combat for dominance of post-apocalyptic "Urth." Characters were created from models and stop-motion animation. The goal is to deplete the opposing character's health bar before the player's own runs out, with matches played to the best of three rounds. The health bar is depicted as an artery attached to a heart that beats faster as damage is taken (exploding upon defeat). Each character also has a stun bar, depicted as a spinal cord attached to a brain, that shows how close the character is to being dizzied. After an opponent is defeated, a brief moment is allowed for the player to perform a finishing move to end the match in a more dramatic fashion, similar to Mortal Kombat.

    During fights, human tribesmen wander in the background to worship the combatants as gods. Performing a combo or getting dizzied causes a worshiper to run into the foreground, where the creatures can devour them to regain health. Players can have up to three worshipers, depending on their score.

    Characters move with Left or Right and duck with Down. They jump with Up and jump backward or forward with Up-left or Up-right. They can jump faster and farther after holding Down for a moment. There are "upper" and "lower" attacks, which vary depending on the character. Upper attacks typically consist of high punches, slashes, or chomps. Lower attacks typically consist of low punches, kicks, or tail whips. Characters perform an upper attack with X (quick) or Y (fierce) and a lower attack with A (quick) or B (fierce). Quick attacks are faster, while fierce attacks do more damage. Holding both the quick and fierce buttons together (X+Y for upper or A+B for lower) performs a "power" attack that does more damage.

    Unlike most fighting games, where the special moves are performed by moving the D-Pad followed by pressing one or more buttons, Primal Rage features a system where the player holds down certain buttons, performs the directional movements, then releases the buttons to execute the attack. Grapples and finishing moves are done using similar button combinations. Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent when standing or crouching. Not all special moves can be blocked. Some health and stun damage is still taken when blocking, but it is reduced. Characters are momentarily stunned when their stun bar is filled, though the bar recovers quickly when not taking damage. Taking a large amount of damage in a short time against an opponent with a considerable health lead can trigger a "Berserk" mode where the character does significantly more damage for 20 seconds.

    In the Mega Drive and 32X versions, when playing with a Six Button Control Pad, special moves can be mapped to Z or C. Each character has three mappable special moves, and the player can pick two of them to use in the options. When playing with a standard three-button control pad, upper quick is  START , upper fierce is A, lower quick is B, and lower fierce is C (and there are no shortcuts for special moves).

    In the Saturn version, an upper power attack can be done with Z or a lower power attack can be done with C, rather than needing to hold two buttons simultaneously. These buttons can be used for special moves that require pushing multiple buttons simultaneously.

    Modes

    In the single-player arcade mode, the player selects any character and faces with a series of fights against computer-controlled beasts of increasing difficulty. There are 16 selectable difficulty levels. The player gains dominion over each portion of Urth as opponents are defeated. Instead of a final boss, the final battle (accessible only at difficulty level 7 or higher in the Mega Drive and 32X versions or difficulty level 10 or higher in the Saturn version) consists of fighting all the other monsters one at a time in a single battle. Opponents that were previously defeated with a finishing move take more damage from attacks. This match has no time limit, and the character does not gain any health back in between opponents. However, the fight is preceded by a "feast" mini-game where the character can increase his or her health bar by eating as many worshipers as possible within a time limit. A second player can challenge the first at any time by pressing  START , with the winner continuing the game.

    The game also has a single-player training mode, where the player can practice against a dummy opponent with infinite health, and a two-player versus mode, where two players can battle each other (with settable handicaps for each player).

    The Saturn version features two additional two-player modes, Tug of War and Endurance. In Tug of War, the character's health bars are replaced by a single shared "Tug of War" bar. Inflicting damage on the opponent fills the bar with the player's color; covering the entire bar with the player's color wins the match. There are no rounds or time limit. In Endurance, players picks four characters each and fight until one player's characters have all been defeated.

    Characters

    Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, Left and Right should be reversed.

    1 Upper quick
    2 Upper fierce
    3 Lower quick
    4 Lower fierce

    The Mega Drive and 32X versions of the game allows the player to assign the special moves marked as Special 1, Special 2, or Special 3 to Z or C in the options.

    Finishing moves can be done at any distance; the character automatically moves into the correct range before starting the move.

    History

    Release

    Home console versions of Primal Rage debuted on the 25th August 1995 in the US (backed by an $8 million USD marketing budget)[4] and Europe[7]; dubbed "Primal Rage Day" by publisher Time Warner Interactive. Across all platforms (Mega Drive, Game Gear, Super NES, Game Boy, and IBM PC), 1 million copies were sold worldwide on launch day[22], with higher-end machines (including the 32X and Saturn) having to wait until November 14 for their launches[4].

    For subscribers of the US Sega Channel, a "limited" version of Primal Rage was made available between the 1st and 24th of August, with the full game being made available for 24 hours on the 25th. On the 26th, a different build of the game was put up, which, if completed, would present players with an 800 number which could lead to players receiving prizes[22]. 24% of subscribers took part in the event[22].

    There were reports of the game being removed from the shelves of some stores after a mother caught her 11-year-old son playing the Mega Drive version of Primal Rage and executing Chaos' Golden Shower finishing move, in which Chaos urinates on the opponent with urine so acidic that it melts away his opponent's flesh, leaving only the bones. The mother was so disgusted by this that she not only returned the game but launched a "grass roots" campaign that caused the game to be removed from some stores at various locations (for all platforms, even the Super NES version, which had this finishing move censored).

    Versions

    Mega Drive version

    The Mega Drive version of Primal Rage was handled by Probe Entertainment, who had previously produced similar conversions of Mortal Kombat II for home consoles (including the Mega Drive). It is based on version 1.9 of the arcade game.

    While Primal Rage on the Mega Drive retains all of the moves from the arcade version (albeit sometimes in slightly altered forms), in order to fit the game onto a 32 megabit (4MB) cartridge, the number of frames of animation were cut drastically. Sauron, for example, went from 943 frames in total, to around 180[23].

    The sprites and colors were scaled to fit the limitations of the Mega Drive hardware. While most of the combos from version 2.3 of the arcade game were carried over, the port is more based upon the older arcade versions 1.7 or 1.9. Attacks and finishing moves exclusive to version 2.3 were not included. Combos work much like that of the 2.3 version, but there are some differences. Talon's Shredder finishing move follows the older versions of the arcade game (rather than leaving the opponent standing mangled and cut-up as in 2.3, blood flies everywhere like in the older arcade versions). Diablo's Fireball finishing move is different from the arcade version (instead of firing a gigantic fireball at his opponent like in the arcade, he fires three small fireballs that spin and fry around his opponent).

    The port has adds the ability to customize the controller, when using a Six Button Control Pad, to map two buttons to different special attacks. There are three special attacks for each character available on the options to choose from. Probe Software founder Fergus McGovern makes an appearance in an Easter egg, as he did in the company's port of Mortal Kombat II.

    32X version

    The 32X version builds on what was seen on the Mega Drive, though it uses the new hardware to deliver more colourful character sprites and more arcade-accurate backgrounds (powered by the Mega Drive, but without the need to reserve colours for characters and other visual elements). Sound effects are also improved.

    In this version, the "Okay Right?" cheat is removed from the cheat menu.

    Saturn version

    On the Saturn, Primal Rage is far closer to its arcade counterpart, but still makes sacrifices to better suit the hardware. Some frames of animation are missing, as are certain sound effects. Differences in horizontal screen resolution result in slight changes to sprite sizes: the arcade has an internal resolution of 336x240, while the Saturn version uses 352x240.

    The Sega Saturn port is nearly the same as the PlayStation port but has some exclusive features. Both versions add a full-motion video opening cutscene, but the Saturn version also contains FMV introductory and ending cutscenes for each character. There is an option to disable the FMV to resemble the other ports (which restores the arcade endings). However, the Saturn version does not display combo names like the PlayStation version does and also suffers from long loading times. Most of the problems relating to music and animations present in the PlayStation version were fixed in the Saturn version. Some of the sound effects are missing. Like the PlayStation version, Blizzard's death and win sounds are switched. The AI is much closer to the arcade version 2.3.

    drx of hidden-palace.org released an alpha build of the Sega Saturn port of Primal Rage in May 2010.

    Game Gear version

    Most of the changes for this port are identical to those of the Game Boy port, though the Game Gear version is in color. Vertigo was excluded, many moves and combos were removed, and each character only has one finishing move. However, the Game Gear version retains the Golden Shower finishing move for Chaos, which was replaced with an acidic puking finishing move in the Game Boy port.
