Primal Rage II

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

Primal Rage II is the sequel to everyone's favorite dinosaur fighting game. More arenas, more buttons, way more characters, and an actual final boss! Coming to arcades this Summer this Fall next year eventually yeah, about that...

Currently, the only known working cabinet of the game is on public display at the Galloping Ghost arcade in Illinois, making proper development of a working emulator for the custom hardware used difficult, to say the least. For the longest time, a fork of MAME called MAME4RAGE2 was used to run a ROM dump of the game "somewhat correctly" via gross hacks; proper support would not be added to the main branch until February 2025.

To do: Go through the stage select more thoroughly. I know there's already Sauron's Seawall and Slashfang's Pad... Cover Necrosan's ending text.
