Description
Platformer featuring Joe and Mac, two cavemen, rescuing their tribe from dinosaurs. Published by Data East, released in the USA in 1992. Prehistoric levels with brontosauruses and pterodactyls as enemies, bone and fire weapons, simultaneous two-player co-op and colorful bosses. American version of Data East's prehistoric Joe & Mac platformer.
The NTSC US version of Joe & Mac, the flagship port of Data East's prehistoric classic, playable in two-player. This is the reference edition, the most widespread on the North American SNES market and a cult 16-bit co-op title. A relatively common hit as a loose cart, its value concentrates on complete in a clean cardboard box and above all sealed graded. The price of the loose object stays modest; condition and packaging make the difference on this ubiquitous version.
Is Joe & Mac still worth playing in 2026?
A port of the Data East arcade game where two cavemen barrel through a colourful prehistoric world with clubs and bone boomerangs. The action is simple, direct and good-natured, with memorable dinosaur bosses. Its repetitive structure has aged, but the cartoon flair and instant fun stay pleasant in short bursts or in co-op. A retro treat for fans of breezy platform-action with no fuss.
