Is Prehistorik Man Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk 

The shout is an actual Tom & Jerry sample! Recorded by William Hanna himself in the 40s.

That is literally the Tom scream.

The best part of this game is that every level you’ll be introduced to new game play mechanics, instead most platform game just changing the theme. What the game probably suffered most from is that is got released far into the lifespan on the SNES. So very few people have a nostalgia factor playing.

As someone who grew up with the Genesis, sometimes I think kids who grew up with SNES just didn't fully appreciate the beautiful array of colors games like Prehistorik Man brought to the table.

That is absolutely William Hannah's iconic yell that they ripped straight from Tom and Jerry and you can't convince me otherwise

This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I remember the bright colors on the box when renting it from video review. Eventually when they closed I remember buying the game with the box. Such a great game

I've always loved this game growing up, the characters actually go a little deeper than what he brought out, the scientists invents different tools for you to use, the one with the hat informs you about different enemies in the area, so they each have a purpose in how they help you, its actually really awesome the way it feels like an actual adventure, and you feel like the other characters really do join you, it is flawed but its actually a lot of fun.

Total length of video: 375 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3.5 secs. .93% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".

1:27 That swaying ice platform floating in the semi-transparent water is pretty cool though.

As someone who grew up with old Prehistorik Man games on PC, I liked the SNES version a lot.

“... offers a bit of MEAT on the BONE” Well played. Well played.

As soon as I saw the shout attack I knew I'd played this game before, that was the trigger that jogged my memory 😁 I remember playing this when Top Gear and the soccer games were already rented, I live in Brazil and those were the most popular games here 😃

I adored this game back then. I think it has enough variety to not make it a "generic platformer"...

I'm just shocked that Titus made a halfway decent game.

Nice variation of the snes drunk intro

I used to love this game when i was a kid... good memories.

I'd have loved it as a kid if I had a Super Nintendo back in the day! It would make a perfect rental.

This looks a lot better than I originally thought after seeing that Titus logo. Ill give this a try when it drops.

That first level music is so good.

I love this game, for me one of the best titles Titus developed for the SNES. And it's counterpart on the Original Gameboy is without a doubt one of the best looking games the platform had to offer, very impressive technically and with an awesome soundtrack!

That scream is Tom's scream clearly

Thanks for bringing back this hidden gem i appreciate that awsome work keep it up

Haha "the old guys wife...ah daughter." Nice Anna Nicole Smith joke there.

The control and camera has to be bad for him not to like it, cuz the gameplay clips make this game seem amazing!

I love this game despite its flaws. It was one of my faves when I was a kid, used to rent it all the time.

One of my absolute fave snes games growing up. Exploring the giant levels and finding all the food !!😄😄

Love this game since I was 8. Great video as usual!

Thanks for this video, I am one of those butt hurts that is all pissy there ain’t no earthbound on the switch, so it’s great having a channel like this to really let me know if these random snes games are worth my time, also just wanted to say I’m super happy I found your channel and I love all of your videos, my first console was the snes (I’m 17 btw) and watching your channel gives me huge nostalgia trips

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in Prehistorik Man, by AC/BC. The actual game looks pretty solid, but I rarely want to play platformers like this, and euro platformers tend to have that slippery movement and floaty jumping so it all feels imprecise.

with the light level, you can press the shoulder button and can control the firefly. it makes that level WAY more manageable

The GB version had a killer soundtrack.

I really like platformers so this looks pretty sweet imo.

"Why 16 continues? I don't know, I don't like uneven numbers" -SNES drunk's nemesis.

Looks like a fun little game. Hopefully will pick it up some day!

"It's the one that says bad mother bundle on it."

So you collect gems, jewels...but bones are currency....riiiight.

Yeah, this game is actually really good. I do think you are way too hard on it - but at least you point out some real flaws that do exist in the game, like some of item-platforming levels. One thing that "ruined" the game for me is that you actually get 4 bones from enemies if you defeat them via jumping on them - which made me use the club less. I do think the club is kinda awesome in this game, it feels good when you start hitting on an enemy - so there to be an incentive to not use it is boring. I think it is same with the weapons - they are all amazing, but you get less bones again. Still, that's just a thing that's up to the player to decide if they want to use or not. IGAvanias have the same flaw.

I actually love that camera style. If only sonic games had a camera like that so I could see where I was going...

For some reason, it seems Brazilians like myself have fond memories of this game. In my case, my parents went to Paraguay on a trip which was known for tax-free, cheap electronics and brought me a (probably pirated) copy of this game. Fond memories, indeed.

Game looks pretty good and I missed out on it during the initial release. I'm excited to give it a try tomorrow.

When I was a kid this was one of the games that made me feel like I was “playing a cartoon.” I usually got that feeling from Genesis Disnep games like Mickey Mania and Aladdin. I was always amazed by games that looked like cartoons at that time. Comix Zone, Maui Mallard, this game, Bonk games, and things like that fascinated me.

Dude you were not kidding about the scream attack - that is straight out of Tom & Jerry.

I had the GBA port when it came out. Was pretty fun. It felt so satisfying to pick up colorful fruit and meat and see the score numbers crank up!!!

All the different gameplay mechanics / level design gimmicks remind me (for better or worse) of Earthworm Jim. Also those icebergs heaving in the water look legitimately fantastic!

One of the games I haven't seen on here yet are the Star Trek TNG games. Would love to see you cover those. Love the channel by the way. It's a great trip down memory lane and is just really chill and relaxing to listen to.

Loved you cameo with Riggs this morning.

I remember playing this game on the schools computers it was the Space bar destroyer

I loved this game as a kid. I admit that it may be not as polished as I remember but still a great and fun game.

Thanks,ive been waiting for this since i know this channel.Its like 5 years.

Honestly, I would still almost rather play this game than Chuck Rock.

Who the hell gave a thumb down?? Thanks for review as always, Drunk!

So much nostalgia for this one. Never made it past the wheel level without the cheat code.

Fun Fact: Sun Glasses and Bigass Sneakers are one of Man's earliest inventions in Caveman times.

I remember Prehistoric 2 being very unique and fun back in the day, the original Prehistoric was a bit on the generic side and although I never got around to playing this one, it seems like a mix of those two.

@ 5:21 Ohh you DID make that jump :P

Always wanted to try this, the screenshots in the magazines looked nice. Caveman Warriors is kind of a spiritual successor but doesnt look that good.

I loved Prehistorik 2 on MS-DOS and this seems like that but more elaborate. Played it a little after getting into retro gaming and it seems nice.

I like the sprite animation looks great.

did that guy say "damned" in a SNES game?!? if I had seen this as a kid in the 90s that would have been a major selling point lmao

The getting hit by Jerry Mouse part had me laughing out loud

Hey SNES drunk, thanks for the awesome video. :) Stay healthy, looking forward to your next video. :D PS: Here are two upcoming games you might wanna check out and make videos to: Eastward and Hazelnut Bastille (the latter is a "A Link To The Past" clone).

Every time you review a game I want to go out and buy it I might actually try and get this one

The gb game has an amazing intro and great music.

Was legit waiting for this

That yell though! 😂

this is a really good game the only thing I hate is the clunky camera but for the most part it's great

I just recently played this game for the first time....on the Evercade (Interplay Collection 2). I thought it was pretty decent on the little handheld, with the various save states helping get though the game.

🤔 actually, that hang glider looks pretty cool. Spear as weapon + platform is neato. Looks like a good game?

This is a great game for the SNES.

Haa! 1:34 That really does sound like the Tom & Jerry scream. i know what i'm watching before going to bed tonight 😄👍

Huh, I did not notice the camera workings! I didn't even know about this game before it was added to Nintendo Switch Online, although I do know Titus from Titus the Fox - To Marrakech and Back. I enjoyed it a whole lot! It is very hard, but that was fun also. As you said, the gimmick controls are hard to get used to, and I feel that it's a shame that each only gets used once. Sure, they're hard to use, but once you finally learn how to do so, you beat the level and don't get to use it again for the rest of the game. I however only have two major issues with the game: first, it should have had a more conventional save system. The continue thing is cool, but the issue is that if you don't have enough bones and are playing on the Super Nintendo, you just have to give up when you want to quit. This wasn't an issue for me, as I could use the save state function, but I think it is definitely a major disadvantage of the game. Secondly, while the levels are a lot of fun to 100%, the game as a whole is not set up for it. You don't know how much you've found in a level until you've completed it, and you can't go back into it once you have. I was hoping to unlock a level select after beating the game, so I could go back to the levels I hadn't found everything in yet.

This game is great. You can also buy saves in the shop. The lighting effect level reminds me of Rayman. British platformer power move.

I honestly can't think of a single thing that Joe & Mac do better than Prehistoric Man except for the co-op mode. Better graphics, animations, music, variety in and size of levels, it's not even close.

Looks fun tbh. Nice graphics too.

I had this game for PC back in the day and could never get passed the first stage because of the camera issue you mentioned. I would always get massive headaches!

Well I guess I'll be checking this one out just for the shout attack

I honestly loved this game as a kid

As a wee kid I just got the 2nd game of this series on PC and it was really good, the music is nice and some levels can be quite creative.

The game is beautiful and I would've probably fallen in love with it as a kid. And I actually have fallen in love with the Game Boy version, due to its killer soundtrack, graphics and effects made by demosceners. Haven't even played it it much, it's just pretty to see.

That Tom the cat yell gets me all the time LMAO

For the SNES Drunk intro, you should do it in the style of The Three Stooges doing "Hello...Hello (higher note)...Hello (higher note)...Hello! (alltogether)." Sssnnnn....Sssnnnn (higher note)....Ssssnnn (higher note)....esdrunk!

Have you reviewed The Magical Quest 1-3 on Snes by Capcom? They're all great, especially the first one.

There's also a Prehistorik Man on the Game Boy, although it's a separate adventure. I can't say that it's a great game (it's certainly less forgiving), but it's probably the best-looking game on the Game Boy, complete with parallax backgrounds.

4:00 are you also prone to motion sickness on first person games?(surely you don’t play those but most likely have tried)

You're absolutely right about that yell. It's lifted directly from Tom & Jerry.

Great story great graphics tight controls

Hail snes drunk thanks for another great review

I've played the Dsiware port and found it to be alright, except that you have to hold up or down to run which is awkward. I'm not sure if it's like that in this version.

It looks very nice for a speedrun

The graphics are actually pretty damn good on this game.

This is a decent game one i didn't know about until it was released on Switch online service.

I remember my older sister playing this game on emulator many years ago, but didn't get past the 2nd level because the emulator was so outdated it introduced graphical issues on that particular level - graphical objects meant to be transparent (in this case, the clouds) becoming opaque, obscuring almost everything. Also, seriously, how were they able to get the voice sample of Tom's scream in this game?

It would cool to see a video of Video Game deal breakers. All those little things that can ruin a gaming experience. A friend talked me into buying this years ago, and I should play it again.

I like how this game looks this game definitely reminds me of Chuck Rock

Putting “Mother Bundle” on my vision board

Dammit. Now you got me wanting to watch Tom & Jerry after hearing that scream. Thanks lol

i only knew the pc version, prehistorik 2. And for me as a kid was a lot of fun

Joe and Max and Joe and Mac 2 is by far my personal favorite.

I really love this game!

This is a really beautiful game. It's up there with some of the best looking SNES games
