RE: 10 Lesser Known Classic Arcade Fighting Games You Should Play!

in #arcade7 years ago (edited)

Oh, the days of the classic arcades of the 80's and 90's were truly an amazing experience I still treasure today. I plan to continue writing about this era and my own experiences with it for the foreseeable future.

As for Primal Rage II, it was the obscure fighting game the world could only dream of having the chance to play. Decades would go by before the world would finally have a chance to experience this long lost arcade treasure. After finally having the chance to play it myself, I was so confused as to why Atari scrapped the project. I would place my bets this game would've exploded in the arcades back in the mid 90's had it actually been finished.

The Primal Rage series also lives on thanks to things like Mugen, the fighting game engine that re-imagines so many classic fighting games in a new light. I plan to do some videos of the Primal Rage characters in Mugen at some point as well.

I really worked to death on this article, having spent two 12 hour days putting it together, but I love doing compilations and reviews like this. The best part was being able to include all the reviews and game play videos to showcase along with it. There's so many game reviews out there that fall short of actually showing what the games are like in real life. Pictures are great, but the inclusion of video makes the story a whole lot more compelling.
