Primal Rage capitalized on the digitized, gory brawlers that were popular in the ’90s. It’s got a decent premise and lots of blood, and the gameplay appealed to a decent amount of fighting fans. That being said, was it really necessary to release a 32X version? Did the extra hardware make a difference?

Férias Frustradas do Pica-Pau
Just about every cartoon character has had a video game, so why not Woody Woodpecker? Some time with this poor title is all one needs to find out. Just about everything is below expectations, and the result is a classic example of great ideas being poorly implemented. But hey, at least it lives up to its name!
Aaahh!! Real Monsters
Viacom New Media had a healthy stable of popular shows in the ’90s, many of which were on Nickelodeon. Naturally, most of those shows had video games on the consoles of the time, and the Genesis saw its fair share. Among them, Aaahh!! Real Monsters was one title that tried a team dynamic that worked to mixed results.
FIFA Soccer ’96 (32X)
Sandwiched between the 16-bit and true 32-bit versions, FIFA Soccer ’96 for the 32X is a middle child that actually deserves its neglect. It does nothing to stand out, and it offers little reason for a purchase over its siblings, outside of collecting. Still, it’s undoubtedly the best soccer game on the 32X.
Super Skidmarks
Racing is fun, but racing with cows is SO much better! That’s a feature of Super Skidmarks that other racing games don’t offer, and the only thing really setting this game back (aside from a weird way of keeping cars together onscreen) is the fact that it doesn’t really run well on NTSC TV sets thanks to its PAL exclusivity. If you can play it though, check it out!
