This guide is for the new fighting game called Primal Rage.
Fighting games have recently swamped the arcades. They range from really bad
animation and graphics to just a plain old copy of another game. Primal Rage
tries to change that.
But you say, "Who made this? Those dudes that made Asteroids?" Yup,
that's them. They have released two games in 1994 and Primal Rage is one of
them! Using what's called "Stop-Motion Animation," the graphics are intense.
You are given seven characters to choose from ranging from prehistoric
dinosaurs to mythological creatures. Atari has put a lot of work into it.
Two years worth. The special moves system is also new and different (see
Special Moves).
Go see for yourself!
Primal Rage debuted at the 1994 CES in Chicago and was voted "Showstopper"
by Game Pro Magazine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. Moves list ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-----------------
2.1 Normal Moves
-----------------
Primal Rage has only four buttons and a joystick. The first column of
buttons are "Quick" attacks. The second are "Fierce."
Player 1 side joystick and button configuration:
Up Up
Back Up Forward
O O O Quick Fierce
\ | / O O
Back O-- --O Forward
/ | \ O O
O O O
Down Down Down
Back Forward
Key:
O = button pressed
. = button not pressed
High = Do this motion at the top of the joystick
Low = Do this motion at the bottom of the joystick
Away = You should end up with the joystick pointed away from opponent
Toward = You should end up with the joystick pointed toward opponent
Semi = Do a semi-circle
1/4 = Do a quarter-circle
Full = Do a full circle
Counter = full circle counterclockwise when facing right
Clock = full circle clockwise when facing right
? = Unknown
For example:
Low-1/4 is | \ --O which is Sub-Zero's (MK) freeze motion
Toward O O or Ken's (SF) fireball motion.
All characters:
O . = Quick Bite . O = Chomp O O = Big Chomp
. . . . . .
. . = Quick Tail . . = Tail . . = Big Tail
O . . O O O
Move specific to Talon and the Apes (Chaos and Blizzard):
. . | (Down) = Slide
O O O
-----------------
2.2 Special Moves
-----------------
In most other games, a special move is performed by moving the joystick
and then followed by the button(s). In PR, it's the opposite. The
buttons you hold down determine which special move to perform, and
moving the joysticks determines when that move comes out. Remember to HOLD
down the buttons until you are done with the joystick movements! Some moves
last longer if you hold down the buttons like Diablo's Torch.
All joystick movements are when you are facing right. So REVERSE the
movements when you are facing left. (Clock becomes Counter and vice versa).
All Special Moves listed work on a 1.7 machine (see Misc Stuff).

2.3 Combos
-----------
Yes, you can do some devestating combos in PR. You can also volleyball at
least twice before your opponent hits the ground. And there's a bonus!
Thunder claps the number of hits-in-combo. This only happens if you do
at least 4 hits _and_ at least 35% damage. If you haven't seen it, the
thunder and lightning are incredible. Especially when you're not expecting
it. (but I guess you are now. =)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3. Brain Gague ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under your health bar (the big artery extending from your heart) is your
Brain Gauge. Each time you take a hit, your brain gauge goes down.
If you run out of brain power, you lose control of bodily functions and
are stunned. Luckily, brain energy regenerates fairly quickly over
time. Some moves, like Vertigo's Voodoo Spell, will suck all the brain
energy right out of you, putting you into immediate stun. Other's,
like the ape's choak-holds, cut off the oxygen to your brain and suck
energy off _very_ quickly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Anthony Cannon
------------
4.1 Offense
------------
There are a series of un-blockable moves in PR that I like to call leaping
attacks. All of these are initated from the ground and involve the dino
leaping at you, landing on your head, and usually doing something nasty.
For example, Sauron wrestles you to the ground and rips a chunk of
flesh out of your neck. To make matters worse, leaping attacks are guided.
No matter where you are on the screen, they'll go right for you =).
More? Some also hit even if they barely nick your body. I've had
Sauron land on my extended tail during an attack and still gotten
pummeled =). Suffice it to say that if you see someone leaping out you,
get out of the way! For some attacks like Talon's brain basher, you just
have to take a few steps forward or backward. For most others, your
best course of action is probably to jump back and counterattack.
I've found that jumping in Primal Rage is suicide. Almost everyone has
a special move or a Quick-Fierce that's almost designed to take out a
jumping opponent. For example, Talon's crouched Quick-Fierce bite
where he lowers himself to the ground and snaps at the air with his
teeth. I think the apes may have some success with jumping because they
both have attacks that reach _way_ down, but I don't recommend it for
the dinos. When I'm playing Talon, the only time I jump is when I'm
playing someone I know I can beat or to get out of the way of a leaping
attack.
------------
4.2 Defense
------------
Blocking in Primal Rage starts off simple: to block a high attack, pull
directly away from your opponent on the joystick. The exact method of
blocking low attacks, however, is still a mystery to me. So far, I've
been able to determine the following:
- You can block any low attack immediately after blocking a high
attack by moving the joystick down and away (the standard
defensive crouch position)
- There are some low attacks that you _cannot_ block low unless you're
still in block-stun from a high attack.
- You can "go through" projectiles like Armadon Flying Spikes by doing a
special move like Vertigo's Voodoo Spell.

/BLIZZARD/
//////////
Blizzard is a noble god. The essence of the animal spirit.
Frozen for a millenia at the heart of an immence glacier in the
Himalayas, Blizzard was released when the Urth met the great
meteor. He lived high in the mountains descending only when
threatened and with his animal power and age-old wisdom he was
unstoppable.
With no threats remaining he returns to his mountain retreat.
One day, though, a new force will invade his land from across the
endless ocean.
This text is followed by a picture depicting Blizzard sitting in a
thrown-like ice chair. He is calmly looking down at several of his
worshippers who are at the base of his thrown.
Picture Caption: BLIZZARD'S SOLITUDE
///////
/CHAOS/
///////
Chaos was a human wizard that transformed himself into an ape. After
beating all the other creatures, he changes back to his human form to rule the
Urth.
The picture shows the human Chaos with a babe and a big Chaos-looking
ghost behind them.
////////
/DIABLO/
////////
Diablo is evil in its purest form. He was released from his
firery prison, deep within the Urth, drawn by the pain and torment
caused in the great cataclysm. Now that he has conquered the planet,
he lives to torture it. With none left to oppose him, he begins to
burn the entire planet sparing only the cruel and viscious. He turns
the world into a living hell.
For centuries he will revel in the inferno he has created, until at
last his rule is challenged by a traveler from across the great sea.
Followed by a picture of Diablo standing near some kind of structure.
There are a few worshippers at his feet. There are also hanging bodies
and other violent images.
////////
/SUARON/
////////
Sauron is the god of Hunger. When released from his sleep of ages by
the catastrophe, he soon realized that he must devour human flesh to remain
immortal. The hungry hordes of humanity worshipped him, but lived in dread
fear of his presence. Many humans soon sought refuge with other rulers of
the planet. Sauron had no choice but to defeat the others in order to feast
on their followers. Now that he has devoured most of the land, he sets off
in quest of new lands and new meals.
This text is followed by a awesomely sick picture. It depicts Sauron
standing in the background next to a huge pile of millions of eaten
bodies. A dead body hangs from Sauron's teeth. In the foreground there
is a mostly eaten, fleshless body and another body with his skull broken
open with his brains spilling out.

Quick and tired of your opponent yelling, "That's cheezy!". Well,
PR has it's own cheez alert! If you do something that the _game_
thinks is too cheezy (usually doing the same leaping attack over
and over again) it will flash a "No Cheese" sign. No sign, no
cheese. End of argument. =)
Each creature can reach down and chomp a human worshipper (that's right,
pick him up and eat him). You can gain health from this. This leaves you
vulnerable however and most of the time you get hit before you eat the guy
and the guy goes flying out of your hand.
Each character seems to go ballistic when they are low in energy. It only
happens after they get knocked down. After they get up, they go into that
state. It is believed that your hits are worth double. You can tell if you
are in that state if your character is flickering and has blue words under
your character's name.
Armadon - ?
Blizzard - ZEN
Chaos - INSANE
