Bloody Roar Primal Fury was one of the best out of the series just for its controls, feel, game mechanics, and new moves added to each character to further diversify the cast. It didn't have the best story and most Bloody Roars would have benefitted from having a deeper story mode, but without a doubt, this one's gameplay, its additional unlockables, characters, and modes made it the best.
Another really incredible thing about Bloody Roar Primal Fury was how it's match variety went through the roof. Due to mechanics like being able to cancel your jumps, not just jump cancelling moves but the opposite, or how you can guard cancel specials, choose to air recover in any direction or attack in the air behind or in front of yourself in during an air recovery, or the perfect timing dodge system, hyper beast forms having unique traits and allowing cancelling off of even more of the character's move set, and so much more, this game literally had no ceiling in its potential. It's a shame it was a Gamecube/Xbox only release and not released on the PS2 after Bloody Roar 3.
Now the only way to play it is through emulation and this game is STILL played competitively to this day. Bloody Roar NEEDS to come back as one of the most fun and insanely deep 3D fighting games. It incorporated a combination of 2D fighting game elements that you would never see in a 3D fighting game, making it the Marvel Vs Capcom of 3D fighters.
Dark ColonyDark Colony is a real-time strategy with heavy emphasis on the actual combat.

You're trying to bomb enemy targets while not getting shot (or rammed) by enemy saucers or shot by ground cannon. If the screen border starts flashing yellow, you are dangerously close to the ground. If the border is red, you are hitting the ground. If the border is gray, you are flying low but not TOO low. If the border is light blue, then the enemy ship is a the same altitude as you.Action Science fiction

Target: RenegadeTarget: Renegade is a scrolling beat'em up (or flip-screen on certain versions) computer game released on the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum systems in the late 1980s by Ocean Software on their "Imagine" label, as well as a Nintendo Entertainment System version published by Taito. The game is a sequel to Renegade and was followed by Renegade 3. When acquiring the license to convert the original arcade game Renegade to home computers, Ocean acquired the option to produce and release their own home-computer-only sequels to the game, and Target Renegade was the first of these sequels.
On most formats, the game caters for one or two players and concerns itself with the adventures of a streetfighter (or a pair of identical streetfighters) known only as "Renegade", who seek(s) revenge against a local crime kingpin named "Mr. Big" for murdering his or their brother Matt. The player character varies, depending on the format, but is usually represented as topless apart from a leather vest and wearing jeans.
Regardless of the format, the cover of the game and the title screen (as seen on the image to the right) portrays a topless street fighter performing a flying kick through a window. In keeping with video game box art and advertising of the era, the character shown in this illustration bears little relation to any character in the game itself. The actual picture is based on Martial Arts Legend Joe Lewis from the cover of his book The World's Greatest Fighter Teaches You How To Master Bruce Lee's Fighting System, but has been adjusted so as to fit in with the character of Renegade.
The game comprises five levels, though details of enemies and weapons vary from one version to another (the NES version in particular is more like Double Dragon than the home computer versions). The NES and C64 versions of the game do not have a two-player co-operative mode.Action
