preceded by = "Prehistorik ""Prehistorik 2" is a sequel to the
platform game "Prehistorik ". It was developed byTitus Interactive forDOS andAmstrad CPC in 1993.Like in its predecessor, the main character of Prehistorik 2 is a
caveman who goes in quest for food, fighting various animals and humorous end of level bosses.The game is a simple platform game where the player walks and jumps his/her 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). 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. Also, without drinking for a long time, the caveman's lips will turn purple.
Controlling the game is very simple, with only the four arrow keys for movement and the
space bar as attack button.Instead of having to collect at least the right amount of food to be able to reach the next level as in "
Prehistorik ", in "Prehistorik 2" it is only required to get a lighter before the player can go to the next level. All in all, there are ten levels plus three bonus levels.Legacy
From 1996 on, a funny notice stating that the game still works in 2008 (or whatever other year the computers date is set to) appears when starting the
EXE file.Some PC setups with newer hardware and processors may experience problems during gameplay, however this is usual when running an older program on a newer configuration.
An interesting feature of this game is that level codes differ on every machine with a different
BIOS . For example, if you play Prehistorik 2 inDOSBox , you'll get different codes than playing inWindows XP .The game was later ported to
Game Boy andSuper Nintendo Entertainment System versions, called "Prehistorik Man ", which was later ported too to aGame Boy Advance version.ee also
