Here it is, every fatality in the fabled Jaguar CD port of Primal Rage. As you will quickly notice, the game features a very intrusive loading screen before 95% of the fatalities. While the PSX and 3DO ports feature a slight pause, here you are treated to at least a 5 second full screen blackout wait before seeing a finishing move. I could have easily cut this out in editing, but have decided to leave it in for posterity's sake.

A few other PR Jag CD notes:
- Fatalities are nearly impossible to pull off on a normal 3 button controller, the ProController is a must for this game
- Logistically speaking, this port is extremely similar to the 3DO version. It only lacks the higher frame rate, character shadows and slightly larger sprites. Even the menus and button input to activate the cheat menu are the same, leading me to believe they might be from the same code base.
- Matches between palette swapped characters and mirror matches yield less cut sprites between fighters. I assume this is true of the other 3 32bit disc based ports
- On occasion, this port will CRASH after executing certain fatalities, corrupting either the screen background or sprite overlays. I've posted a separate video of this, and the effect is slightly noticeable after both Sauron's Carnage Fatality and Vertigo's Shrink Fatality in this video.
- The first minute of this video features the game's startup sequence inter-cut with both in game credit screens, featuring what is probably the only video game credit for the band Counting Crows. :P
