Oh, I DO know Arm Joe, then! Was it released for free? If I haven't played it a little I know I've at least seen some footage on YouTube. Weird fighter but it does look interesting.

Never heard of nebula before thanks. I'm going to try and set that up later today. That game looks so good.

I always enjoy playing Rival Schools. IMO, it's pretty much the hybrid of Tekken (3D perspective and side-stepping) and MVC (gameplay and controls). I also enjoy its artwork and the charismatic characters from this series. :P

Too bad this series was pretty much overlooked and there haven't been a single RS game since Project Justice for Dreamcast. :(

I've never gotten this to run in MAME either. What a great over-the-top fighter. I hope it's not lost to history.


I think you might mean Primal Rage

The game has been digitally preserved, but there are emulation issues still :(

You are correct sir. Primal Rage was the name of that game, not Fury. My bad. Good to hear it's been preserved. I hope someday it can be emulated correctly. I'd love to play this game again.

Why not just play it on the SNES, Genesis, 32X, PS1 or Saturn?

Im gonna go with Bloody Roar (PS1 Days) I havent played since,but the fighting was very good and how characters have their beast forms was great.I also liked many of the character models.

Darkstalkers is naturally #1 for me but tidder/todders between well known and over shadowed by street fighter.I was the only kid playing this then in arcades, that and pac man before one of my long skate sessions.Ahh goodtimes

Killer Instinct was pretty popular back then too, so I wouldnt count that either
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
