Remember when fighting games were all about chunky sprites and button-mashing your way to victory? Primal Rage on Game Boy takes me right back to that era—where your fighters were either dinosaurs or giant apes, and every match felt like a kaiju battle in your pocket.

At first, I thought the tiny screen would ruin the chaos, but nah—somehow, watching a pixelated T-Rex rip into a gorilla with terrible posture still feels brutal. The controls are simpler than the arcade version (obviously), but you’ve still got those weird special moves like spitting acid or summoning lightning. Took me a few tries to pull them off without the manual.

It’s janky, it’s loud, and the AI cheats sometimes. But that’s part of the charm. If you’ve got a soft spot for 90s handhelds or just want to see a velociraptor uppercut a yeti, this one’s weirdly satisfying.
