It’s funny, really. I didn’t actually discover Joe and Mac until the home translation of their arcade game, Caveman Ninja, came to the SNES. I found that sort of odd because I’ve been to my fair share of arcades as a younger kid, so you think I would’ve found it there first. But I digress. This side-scrolling caveman romp is still a lot of fun after all these years, and ideal for two player sessions.

But if you don’t have a SNES, fret not. The original Caveman Ninja has made its way to Nintendo Switch thanks to Flying Tiger Entertainment and the Johnny Turbo’s Arcade line, which previously introduced Bad Dudes to the platform, alongside other games. And just like that game, Caveman is a timeless classic, even if it is a little bit on the short side.

The adventure begins with rogue cavemen making off with your girlfriends (a trope for a game such as this), forcing Joe and Mac to leap into action as they take on human, dinosaur and other foes in the hopes of saving the day. You’ll take on everything from rogue T-Rex creatures to giant plants to weird caveman contraptions that have you wondering, “Wait, they built this before discovering fire?”

Along the way, you’ll pick up weapons that will help you along. You start out with hammers that you can throw, but you’ll eventually pick up better ones during your journey. Your best bet is the boomerang, which has both speed and precision going for it. Just be careful. If you die, you lose it and have to start with the hammer again.
