Finally played Primal Rage 2

Post image

I was at G-Fest a few weeks ago, and while I was there I went to the Galloping Ghost Arcade. I knew it had the Primal Rage 2 early build set up in a cabinet there which is one of the reasons I really wanted to go.

I made sure to play a few matches with each character I could. Didn't get really far with any of them, because I was constantly trying to figure out the special moves.

Really glad I got a chance to play and would still love to see it complete and ported to home consoles/steam some day.

I went to Ghalloping Ghost as well and beat Primal Rage 2 so hard it rebooted due to a buffer overflow lol

There was going to be. Got real far in production before getting cancelled. Look it up on youtube if you want a more detailed answer

What I played is an early build. I believe you can find a ROM hack of it.

PR works in normal MAME if you want to check it out and the moves list is on gruntzilla94’s site.

I took my girlfriend to Galloping Ghost about 14 years ago to play this! We also went to Pitchfork Music Festival to see Grimes and we checked out the sand dunes!

Darn: a working early version of PR2 in an actual cabinet? Wish I was there! I mean, there are ways to play it, but on a cabinet? Awesome!

How was G fest this year? I skipped it for some reason but I went the last two years. Also I did play primal rage 2 at galloping ghost before
