Primal Rage is a ferocious fighting game ported by Probe Entertainment based on Atari Games' 1994 coin-op arcade hit. Set in a post-apocalyptic "Urth" where humanity has regressed to the Stone Age, the game pits colossal stop-motion-styled prehistoric beasts and giant gods against one another in brutal combat for supremacy over smoking tribal domains.

TRIVIA

Stop-Motion Digital Animation:
The arcade original famously pioneered claymation-style stop-motion animation for its fighters; Probe Entertainment engineered an impressive SNES port that captured the distinct look and violent flair of beasts like Blizzard, Talon, Sauron, and Vertigo.

Worshipers and Human Sacrifices:
Breaking away from standard fighting game tropes, Primal Rage featured helpless human worshipers running across the arena who could be eaten by the combatants to recover health or sacrificed in brutal finishing moves.
