Joe & Mac is a platformer released in 1992 for the Game Boy. Players control two cavemen characters as they navigate through prehistoric levels filled with enemies and obstacles. The main objective is to rescue kidnapped villagers while progressing through various stages, each with distinctive prehistoric themes.
The pace of the game is moderately fast, requiring players to time jumps and attacks carefully to avoid hazards such as dinosaurs and traps. A unique mechanic involves using a variety of primitive weapons, including bones and clubs, which can be upgraded or swapped during gameplay to adapt to different enemy types and challenges.
A distinctive feature of Joe & Mac is its cooperative two-player mode, allowing friends to team up and tackle the levels together, which was less common in handheld platformers of its time. The game’s blend of simple controls, colorful graphics, and prehistoric setting creates an engaging experience centered around action and exploration.
