Atari Games Games

Tengen's 1987 NES port of Atari Games' landmark 1985 arcade dungeon game — Gauntlet defines the dungeon hack-and-slash formula with four distinct character classes (Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, Wizard), health that constantly drains requiring food collection, and hundreds of levels of monster-spawner-clearing combat that created the template for cooperative dungeon games.

Atari Games' 1995 Genesis port of the 1994 arcade fighting game — Primal Rage pits prehistoric gods (giant dinosaurs and apes) against each other over post-apocalyptic Earth, using digitized stop-motion creature models, a unique combo system requiring directional inputs, and fatalities that include devour moves and acid vomit attacks.
