Prehistorik Man ROM

Prehistorik Man is a platforming video game for the Game Boy Advance developed by Titus Software and published by Kemco in 2001. Prehistorik Man, like its predecessor, takes place in a fictionalized Stone Age. In the middle of the night, greedy dinosaurs steal all the food from a small village. With winter coming and the village inhabitants facing starvation, the Village Chief summons Sam, a young and agile villager, and tasks him with obtaining food to help the village survive the impending winter.

The player controls Sam by navigating him through a total of 23 side-scrolling levels. The main task is for the player to collect all the food in each level while defeating enemies to make them drop their bones, which is used as currency in the game. The player starts out with three hearts. If the player loses them all, they lose a life and must restart the level. Midway through each level, there is a checkpoint (called a Rees-Tartah) so Sam will not have to start at the beginning once touched.

Sam has many abilities to help the player through each level including running “like a dog” to move faster, and the shout which enables the player to defeat all enemies on screen. Sam’s default weapon is a spiked club but he can find other weapons like spears and axes which will replace any weapon used before, however, these weapons have limited ammo.
