Description
Platformer featuring a stocky prehistoric man traversing prehistoric levels to rescue his friends. Published by Titus Software, released in Europe in 1995. Prehistoric levels with dinosaurs and primitive enemies, bone and rock attacks and world bosses. An original prehistoric platformer on Super Nintendo.
PAL release of this polished, cartoon-styled Titus platformer. Arriving late in the console's life on an already thin European install base, it turns up mostly as a boxed copy with multilingual manual, sought by fans of Titus oddities and late-era European platformers. The short print run and localisation make it a more coveted item on the PAL side, with desirability resting on a clean, complete package and an uncrushed cardboard box.
Is Prehistorik Man still worth playing in 2026?
Prehistorik Man is a European platformer with a successful cartoon style, where a burly caveman crosses prehistoric stages full of dinosaurs. Its colorful execution and good-natured humor make it a pleasant experience, even if a few pacing dips and uneven difficulty curb the momentum. Without revolutionizing the genre, it stays enjoyable to explore. For fans of European sixteen-bit platforming and Titus productions, it is an honest discovery, agreeable in moderate sessions.
