First, the concept for Joe and Mac is brilliant. Killing dinosaurs to save cave babes with green hair? What part of that isn’t awesome? You get to throw stone wheels or bone fragments (and when you get far enough, even the mystical FIRE–ooh) at bad guys, you fight sea monsters and pterodactyls and you do all of this against a pre-civilization background. This game mostly works in the old school mario left to right screen format. However, every couple levels or so, you come across something new (a water level, a level where a pterodactyl sweats mightily to haul your butt to the top of the trees while you fight beehives so that you can fight an even bigger, evil pterodactyl) which help keep things fresh so it doesn’t turn into Castlevania. Also, this game is actually pretty long and even with continues, it’s tough to get through the end bosses on the number of lives you have. I distinctly remember losing my last life on the totally trippy pink brain level (I know, crazy)and experiencing a level of frustration that most video games simply can’t elicit from me. However, just a few days after chucking the controller at the tv, I was trying again. And I love, love, love the sounds in the game. The music is cheerful and has lots of caveman-type drums and there’s something really wacky and somehow perfect about the myriad grunts and screeches the cavemen and monsters make as you play.

It came as described. Game played great without any bugs. This game takes me back to my childhood.
TLDR –
As far as two player fun goes, this is my favorite SNES games. My wife and I can just sit and play this together for an hour. You play one of the two cavemen, Joe or Mac, and the mission is to rescue the “cave babes” that all the Neanderthals scared off. Most of the enemies are dinosaur or Neanderthal type, and are very animated and fun to watch. There are several power ups for your club like wheels, bones, and fire. You can set the game to whether or not you and player 2 can make contact with each other, which both allows you to ride on top of each other’s head or strike each other. It’s a very fun game – you just have to give it a try. 1 player is also fun, but 2 player is best. The music and sound are also superb. The only downside is there is no save function, but it’s not a real problem because it’s not a long game.
