Prehistorik [DOS] Walkthrough

------- Prehistorik is a 2D platform game released in 1991 by Titus for the DOS and other computers at the time. You take control of a caveman who goes around beating up a bunch of prehistoric creatures with his club and collecting food. There&a bar at the top of the screen indicating how much food you&collected - you can&advance to the next level until you fill up this bar. The creatures you defeat add up to your food meter as well: pound them on the head with the club a couple of times to knock them out, then walk over them to add them to the food meter. Be careful though, because if you leave them lying on the ground for too long after knocking them out, they&get back up and come after you again. There are 4 levels and in between each level there is a boss battle, for a total of 7 levels. Yes, 7 whole levels, IF you count the boss battles which are really just one screen, so technically there are only 4 distinct stages in the whole game ! You know this can only come down to one problem: the difficulty ! It&one of the most unforgiving games I&ever played on the DOS and this is due to the mechanics of the game. First of all, attacking is a joke: you press the space bar to swing your bat, but the bat barely stays out a second ! It just pops out for a split second and then disappears ! You can&hold down the space bar to swing the bat continuously either - you have to tap it like crazy ! Because of this, your timing has to be 100% accurate and make sure the enemy is as close...
