If you think this looks sweet, you should have played it back in 1993
Prehistorik is a 1991 Video Game by Titus Software, with a sequel, Prehistorik 2, released in 1993. They are both Platform Games where you control a caveman and must kill wild animals in order to gain points and complete levels.
Yes, it sounds kind of dull but the games are a lot better than they sound.
The sequel was later remade on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Game Boy under the name Prehistorik Man. The former version was also re-released on the Game Boy Advance.
