Prehistorik 2, developed and published by Titus Interactive in 1993, is a DOS-based 2D platform game and the sequel to the original Prehistorik. Known for its quirky humor and smooth gameplay, it became one of the most beloved platformers on MS-DOS during the early '90s.
You play as a hungry caveman on a wild quest to bash enemies, leap across prehistoric landscapes, and collect as much food and treasure as possible. Armed with your trusty club, you’ll knock out dinosaurs, rodents, and other wacky creatures while smashing through walls and exploring hidden areas.
The game stands out with its vibrant VGA graphics, fluid animation, and clever level design, offering a mix of exploration and action. Unlike many platformers of the era, Prehistorik 2 rewards curiosity — secret paths, bonus stages, and food caches are scattered throughout the levels for players willing to dig a little deeper.
The controls are tight and responsive, and the game’s silly sense of humor — from exaggerated enemy animations to goofy sound effects — gives it a lighthearted, cartoon-like appeal. Despite its comedic tone, Prehistorik 2 offers a fair challenge, especially in later levels, making it a satisfying experience for platforming fans.
While it didn't achieve the same fame as Mario or Sonic, Prehistorik 2 has remained a cult favorite and is frequently remembered as one of the highlights of DOS gaming. Its charm and nostalgic gameplay still hold up for fans of classic side-scrollers.
