That is a licensed game based on a Nickelodeon CGI cartoon, so I suspect it's not all that great, but I'll have to give it a try! EDIT: It sounds like the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox games were actually quite good, at least according to a few reviewers. Neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I've slightly touched both the 2D and 3D versions and for yet another wannabe licensed platformer style game it actually wasn't terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 I stumbled across this awesome, officially licensed collection: It's selling for less than $25 shipped brand new, so I figured I had to pick up a copy. I know RetroBit's emulation systems have not been very popular but hopefully their multicarts are okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 From my understanding it's one of the few things they make you could call reliable and worth the bother. I mean I guess reliable fits, they probably should still work in another 10 or 20 years. The thing is, you get a new board, new chips, new everything, just the old game code but presented in a little new way with it being a legit multicart. Given what not the first, but Joe & Mac 2 costs, it's a solid price. Same can be said for their other packages as I think they did the R-Type 3 one and that games price is awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Sorry to bump this for such a questionably relevant reason, but YouTube keeps throwing Homestar Runner Strong Bad emails at me, and in this one we learned that Strong Bad is a fan of Caveman Ugh-Lympics. So I am in good company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altered Beast featured a caveman character evolving into a Beast. Not to be that guy...but dinosaurs and cave people were about 65 million years apart. ? My favorite Caveman theme is probably the Tandy tabletop: If Toki qualifies, that's one I liked on the NES, too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My favorite has to be Bonk's Adventure for the TG-16. I'm currently 9th place with a terrible run on Speedrun.com. Only other games I have that might fit the theme... Bonk's Revenge and Evolution: Dino Dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGameCollector Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Here's a funny idea for a Tony Hawk mod. Since Big Nose the Caveman had a skateboard in Big Nose Freaks Out, someone should make a 3D model of Big Nose for one of the PC Tony Hawk games, then add the Millencolin song "Caveman's Land" from their 2019 album to the soundtrack and then post a video playing as Big Nose with that song playing. Especially since Millencolin already had a song that was used in THPS2. Edited June 16, 2022 by TheGameCollector 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Well, I have a homebrew for Atari called Prehistoric Times,...But TBH, I remember very little about it and I should have been in bed hours ago ... I mainly wanted to give full props for being comprehensive, and for mentioning Tail of the Sun! I played it for a bit back in the PS1 days, really enjoyed it!...I remember clearly being in E.B., someone asked about Tail of the Sun and I chimed in with "Awesome Game!", and the 2 kids behind the counter looked at me like I was from Mars. I guess they didn't want to be rude..."Maybe we just don't get it!" they replied almost in unison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Neo Geo shooters I’ve played the most! That Flintstones game looks amazing graphically and not bad gameplay wise. I’ve never heard of it. Very cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to play it all the time on the SNES, but this is the first I'm hearing of this multicart - pretty cool! Still play Joe & Mac Caveman Ninja on the Amiga once in a while. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trog on NES is definitely a solid port, but I'd strongly recommend firing up MAME for the arcade version. You can play 4 players at once, which is a real hoot and those claymation graphics and animation look awesome. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mushroom Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 There is apparently another Flintstones game for the NES. "The Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak". It is so rare that it costs about $1000 for an original cartridge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
