2D one-on-one fighting games exploded in popularity in the mid-90s, thanks to the immense success of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Keen to grab a slice of gamers’ dollars, Atari’s Primal Rage hit arcades in 1994 and came home to the Saturn in ’95. Featuring seven dinosaurs, the player fights in a ruined, post-apocalyptic Earth (Urth) with little cavemen humans running around cheering on their chosen dino-god. Regarded at the time as the best home conversion of the arcade game, this title is an interesting entry into the 2D fighter genre.
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
