Amiga Longplay [417] Primal Rage

[EloneKitty]

This is the first fighting game that I owned (genesis btw). You execute special moves by holding A/B/C buttons and then inputting directions, rather than the other way around. I always liked that, because your character doesnt flail around like an idiot before doing his special move. I liked the brain bar, if it drains, you get stunned. This is anticheese because you cannot block indefinitely. And yes, you do need a gamepad. Dont you wonder, why did our keyboards by now not bypass this limit?

wtf, smoke on the water???

Is this the Sega 32X version? If it is then that's why it sucks. The arcade Primal Rage is way more appealing.

@Triforce9426

No this is the Amiga version, otherwise the title would say Sega 32X longplay ;)

[waltermcbobom]

Urth lol

[cyberyanmar]

and i thought genesis version was bad

[y2k4ever1]

nice port

[glitchhunter09]

Figured out why stuff is hard to do. Keyboards suck. Get a game pad.

[raptros]

i loved primal rage i know every special move for every character and i can pull em off as easy as that, it's not that hard people are just used to SF system, i find this system easyer then SF, and i've been so used to playing it on the pc with a keyboard that it's just the only way i play it. but i gotta say this port not so good :S 32x version is still the best port in my book

Cubex55,i don't know if you are aware,but in this game,you do the moves while holding a button,then let go of the button to get the special attacks out.

This is why all my mates hated the game,just couldn't get used to it ,after coming from playing street fighter 2 for years.

[cubex55]

cubex55 doesnt exist, its just the host acocunt :)

IT was me who played it - ScHlAuChi - but i didnt know about the let go stuff, maybe becasue im used to Streetfighter like you said ;)

And yes doing this longplay was horrible ;)

[1dosucol1]

Compare this version ,to the port on the atari jaguar,the latter gets dumped on,easily,the only thing not as good as the poor jag port will be the joystick controls(probably ;) .There's even long load times,on a cart.

[glitchhunter09]

This vid was made on an emulator. All ports of Primal Rage have a rom encryption that has yet to be properly emulated. On the home console ports, (including Amiga.) this prevents fatalities and some special moves from being performed. Its kind of an anti-illegal hardware protection. The arcade version has this protection too but it acts differently than the console ports while emulated. Minor instances of blood and sometimes the blood from fatalities is brown. Leaping attacks miss frequently.

[glitchhunter09]

@glitchhunter09 Turns out that this little "rom encryption myth" is bonk aside from the arcade version. The Genesis version works fine on Kega fusion with a gamepad and I have access to all the available moves in that version. Fighting games should never be played on keyboards.

Why does the announcer say "ray" and not "Rage"?? lolzzz

[glitchhunter09]

I kind of like this version's reditions of the music. Mainly because they sound different than what I'm used to.

[kuma08chokoreto]

I lol'ed when I heard that sample from smoke on the water in the bgm of the first stage

[YoSniper]

The lands are all messed up in this version. The cove is the southernmost point, the cliff is the icy part, and so forth.

[dabbasw31]

In the press it was called "Jurassic Kombat". That's in fact what it is: a try to made cash from both the dinosaur hype in the early 90s and the Mortal Kombat hype.

[nooblet911]

it looks like a decent port to me. solid sounds, animation, background animations, ect.

don't like the game itself, not even the arcade version, though. I was impressed by it when I was a kid, but it plays like a 2nd rate mk clone

[abaddon5]

Did anyone else notice that the lands on the "planet" screen were all mixed up?

[SnowboarderDoby]

this version is boring but the arcade version is better

[kangocop]

The track in sauron's stage happens to be a hybrid of the first sonic 3 stage and smoke on the water by deep purple lol :-D

[glitchhunter09]

There was a bug with the bonus round text and the final battle phrase was shortened to just final. Why the hell would someone create an 8-bit game on a disk? I thought I had seen it all then this pops into my face. Looks like the group in time warner and probe responsible for this game were lazy.

[Samoutuomas]

I had this...it was depressing. I always got an urge to play every second month or so. So I put the disk in, waited, and after the first round I shut down the amiga and went to read comics. :/ Thanks god arcades existed back then.

[superturbo2]

the arcade was nice, but playing the amiga version just makes me go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[Gauntlets]

It's like they coulda made dis 4 GB color or somethin!

[OpticalFascism]

I never knew they used the melody from "Smoke on the Water" for the music. Aren't there any finishing moves in the Amiga version? The video is really boring. Same move over and over again.

[sdjaar]

What is the machine? PC? SNES? wich year? :) Good VID

[BeeSeeingYou]

amiga

[merrymonday]

I remember this game. This was around the time that side-scrolling fighters were becoming popular. Early 90's? The big thing that was a shocker to parents ( and all my friends thought it was cool) was the "Golden Shower" move done by the yellow colored ape. He peed on the monster that he was fighting, and that was a big no-no for most moms!

[JackiePaquito]

What year is this from?

[superturbo2]

1995

[JackiePaquito]

Thanks!
