Developed by Titus, Prehistorik Man arrived on the Game Boy Advance as a platformer. This GBA release is a port or adaptation of a game that first appeared in 1995.

It is part of the Prehistorik series. The series also appears on other systems with Prehistorik Man (SNES) and Prehistorik Man (Game Boy). Titus also made Virtual Kasparov, Kao the Kangaroo and Top Gun: Combat Zones for the GBA.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Prehistorik Man is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
