$100?! 🤯 I got an Atari Primal Rage arcade machine for HOW MUCH?! 🦖 🌋 🦍 

Legit one of my top fighting games ever with 3rd Strike. people compare this game to MK which i understand, but in actuality, the closest cousin to this game, gameplay wise is Darkstalkers series. Both games released with Chain combo systems in 94. and honestly, PR's is more expansive since u can end chains with specials. basically u can do easy combos. buttons as: (1) 2 3 4 you could do 1, 2, 1+2 (together) will execute a combo with all characters. 1+2 and 3+4 gives u a 3rd heavy strike like street fighter. so Sauron, a basic combo could be: Jump 3+4, 1, 2, 1+2, HOLD 1+3 away toward u dont have to time it really, just tap it out at an even pace and on the last hit hold the buttons and hit the motion. u can also do chains in the air, such as using 4, 3+4 after a normal jump which can do 2 hits before u touch ground to launch the rest of your combo. once u learn it and get a feel u wouldnt want it any other way. i complained about it so much when i was first learning the game a few years ago but once it clicks its so nice. theres also 3 different jumps (which KoF would also do) down to up: is a super jump forward, down, up: is a short leaping lunge jump basically doing a shoryuken but pressing up towards at the end. it kinda works like a dash to get in close without opening yourself up too much. its fast and a great way to start a combo with 3+4 or 1+2 or other buttons depending on the character its sad theres not a 100% emulatable version of Primal Rage because of its expert encryption. there was an effort a few years ago but the project was shot dead in the water. iv speculated that it was an effort to towards release for Arcade1up but was axed. Gruntzilla94 did a great job getting PR2 emulated, i dont know why WB Games would go out of their way to kill a PRage emulation project

Hope to see this one fully restored, this is pure Atari awesomeness. The quirky Atari games from the arcade golden age (80s through early 90s) are some of my favorite arcade games of all time, i.e. Paperboy, Toobin', Pit Fighter, Primal Rage, Marble Madness, Hard Drivin', STUN Runner etc.. Atari just had a conceptual creativity & coolness factor that no one else had.

The NT2515 monitor is really nice when it is working. Hard to find flybacks for tho...

nice pickup Charlie, I let one get away at an auction years back it went well over what I thought it was worth and with a dead monitor , I dunno what it is , but I think most of those cabs I have ever seen ALWAYS has the left side art missing or torn to shreds

Good. You need more 1990s arcade games. No offense, but you are stuck in the 80s! Spread your love around to other arcade decades!

Restore it !!!

Nice!

I like your hat!!!

lots of RAGE!!!! . 🐯-VS- 🐷. is my favorite two!... and the 🐰-VS- 🐥

Make it a 6 button set up and add Primal Rage 2 (mame4rage)

I played/watched this game lots in my college campus arcade in its day. That one was a huge version with the monitor set up a bit back from the control panel, which was ideal for onlookers. The most popular finisher was Chaos' "golden shower".

This is a good cabinet to load a bunch of fighting games in

🦖 🥊

I was never a huge fan of the fighting games I think that they are really cool but the gameplay is just boring to me. I used to have a killer instinct but I traded it.

Mannn wish i had a garage for machines..i have a primal rage pcb but i get a watch dog error all the time i put it on a switcher in my mk4 cab..

Should be called "This week's $100 pickup/steal with Charlie"

Any chance you could do a short video on how you get your cabinets on the furniture movers? It’s always sketchy when I do it. Thanks for the videos!

Awesome pickup Charlie! My only suggestion is you go into the test mode and test the controls. I actually think that should be the first thing you do. Also, you had that control panel open it would have taken 1 minute to clean the glass and CRT tube. It makes the video easier to see. You seem to have an aversion to cleaning glass. I'm tired of looking at the dirty screens Charlie! 😢

Rage! Played a ton back in the day. Great pickup .
