Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja with booklet

Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, released in 1991 for the NES, is a colorful and action-packed platform game with a good dose of humor. Originally developed as an arcade game by Data East, it was adapted for various home consoles - including the NES, where it shines with simplified but charmingly realized graphics.

In Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, you take on the role of one of two wild-haired Stone Age heroes - Joe or Mac - who set out to rescue their wives kidnapped by rival cavemen. The path leads through prehistoric landscapes full of dinosaurs, mammoths, volcanoes and other prehistoric dangers.

Armed with clubs, bones or even boomerangs, you fight, jump and battle your way through varied levels in Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja. The over-the-top animations, weird bosses and funny cutscenes provide plenty of retro charm.

The NES version of Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja is technically slimmed down compared to the arcade and 16-bit versions, but still offers fun gameplay, a co-op mode (alternating) and the typical Data East feeling: fast, accessible and simply entertaining.

Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja for the NES is a humorous Stone Age adventure that impresses with its loving design and solid action despite its technical limitations. Ideal for fans of arcade platformers and anyone who likes quirky retro heroes in loincloths.
