deluxe 50" big screen or a twin
sitdown cabinet with 26" high-
resolution monitor. This game is
highly recommended to those of
you that can afford the $16,000+
sticker price. If you can't, I sug-
gest you get 2 sit-down Cruis'n
USA's with the link kit and over-
head lighted marquee, and you
will save a couple of grand.
BATTLEGROUND
Primal Rage is a head to head
battle featuring 7 stop motion
and computer generated charac-
ters from the Jurassic age. Each
has 9 to 12 moves including pow-
erful special moves and at least 2
finishing moves. Available in the
"Showcase 33" and a 26" upright.

test figures, you can not go wrong
with this one.
SPORTS
awarded with their choice of a 7"
street basketball or tickets.
Rage 'n the Cage is my pick of

game.

from the rest is the incentive to
play the game. For when the
player plays a full game and the
proper number of points are
achieved, he/she would be
Many units were sold at the show
and supplies are limited. So if you

order soon. Each unit is hand
made and only 25 per week are
currently being produced.

MORE FIGHTERS
Dark Stalkers is Capcom's entry
into the running this year.
Capcom has done it again. Try-
ing to revive that same old Street
Fighter style of play that made
Capcom a household name. This
time, they bring back from the
dead elements from the under-
world like the Werewolf, Vam-
pire and Frankenstein.
10 characters in all, are forced to
do battle in the same old way as
Ken and Ryu. Although it's the
same old game with different
characters, it is currently our
number one piece. It would be
nice if we could see something
new from Capcom, but as long as
the cash boxes are full, who
cares?
