PC Genjin: Pithecanthropus Computerurus is a 1989 platformer game released for the TurboGrafx-16, combining classic side-scrolling action with prehistoric themes. The main objective centers on guiding the caveman protagonist through various levels filled with enemies and obstacles, aiming to rescue kidnapped tribe members and progress through increasingly challenging stages.
The game features a steady pace typical of platformers from the late 1980s, requiring precise timing and strategic jumps. A unique mechanic in PC Genjin is the use of a boomerang-like weapon that the player can throw to defeat enemies from a distance, adding a tactical layer beyond simple melee attacks.
Distinctive for its prehistoric setting and whimsical character designs, PC Genjin incorporates environmental hazards such as lava pits and falling rocks, enhancing the gameplay variety. This TurboGrafx-16 platformer blends straightforward level progression with memorable visuals, making it notable among early console platform games.
