Titus Interactive also published it, and released the game in 1991. The playable character is a neanderthal armed with a club. In a search for food, the neanderthal must hit dinosaurs and other animals that come in his way. Some hostile beings can't be beat, so the player must dodge them. A boss awaits in every even numbered level. There are seven levels.    Prehistorik received a rating of 85% from Amiga Action in August 1991, with the review stating 'after playing Prehistorik for a few minutes I was not disappointed. Graphics, sound and gameplay are all outstanding. My only complaint is that the puzzle element could have been taking (sic) a little further. A must for any platform or arcade fan.'    A sequel called Prehistorik 2 was released for DOS and Amstrad CPC. The sequel was also ported to numerous Nintendo systems and became a downloadable title for the Nintendo DSi in North America on February 15, 2010.

It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used.
