Prehistorik 2

Prehistorik 2 is a platform game, the sequel to Prehistorik. It was developed by

Prehistorik 2
Titus Interactive for MS-DOS and Amstrad CPC in 1993.

Like in its predecessor, the main character ofPrehistorik 2 is a caveman who goes in
quest for food, fighting various animals[1] and humorous end of level bosses.

The game is a simple platform game where the player walks and jumps their way
through the levels and whacks enemies in the head with a club. Points can be
collected by both whacking enemies and collecting items (including food, diamonds,
video games, etc.).[2] The levels contain hidden food items which can be discovered
by hitting the right spots with the club.

The creators added a lot of detail to the game, which indeed increases the
entertainment factor. If the player runs for a long distance and then stops, the
caveman will be out of breath.

Controlling the game is very simple, with only the four arrow keys for movement
and the space bar as attack button.

Legacy
From 1996 on, a notice stating that the game still works in the year it is played in appears when starting the
EXE file.

Level codes differ on every machine with a different BIOS. For example, if Prehistorik 2 is played via DOSBox, the codes obtained
are different than those when playing inWindows XP.

Prehistorik Man
The game was later ported to theGame Boy as Prehistorik Man.
A separate game, also titled Prehistorik Man, was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.[4] The Super NES game
was in turn ported to the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DSi (as a DSiWare release), with the latter being released in North
America on February 15, 2010.

On release, Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Game Boy version a 6 out of 10, commenting that "The whole game becomes
monotonous as it gets tired somewhat quickly."[5] They rated the later Super NES version much better, giving it an 8.875 out of 10
and their "Game of the Month" award. They particularly lauded the game's storyline, humorous sound effects, strong play control,
and numerous secrets.[6] Famicom Tsūshin scored the Super Famicom version ofPrehistorik Man a 27 out of 40.[7]
