Big Nose the Caveman (USA) (Unl)

In Big Nose the Caveman, players assume the role of Big Nose, a prehistoric man with a distinctive large nose, who finds himself stranded in a strange land after being carried away by a Pterodactyl. The primary objective of the game is to help Big Nose find his way back home, while simultaneously collecting as many bones as possible. Bones serve as the in-game currency, allowing you to purchase useful items from a mysterious shop.

The gameplay of Big Nose the Caveman focuses on classic platforming mechanics. Players guide Big Nose through various prehistoric-themed levels, including jungles, caves, volcanoes, and swampy areas. Big Nose is equipped with a stone club as his primary weapon, used to attack dangerous prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs, giant insects, and other wild animals. Additionally, players can jump on enemies' heads to inflict damage or avoid them.

Throughout the adventure, Big Nose needs to collect special items like stone wheels, which help him move faster or overcome obstacles. There are also rare gemstones that grant high scores or other benefits. Big Nose's health system is represented by an energy bar, and when this bar depletes, the player loses a life. The game has a limited number of lives, and once they run out, it's game over.

A distinctive feature is the presence of hidden shops, where Big Nose can use the collected bones to purchase items such as health refills, extra lives, or temporary power-ups. Managing bones and deciding what to buy is crucial for surviving through increasingly difficult levels. Big Nose the Caveman demands skillful control and quick reflexes to overcome traps, enemies, and the harsh environmental challenges of the prehistoric world.
