Really fun arcade game.

Its alright. just wish the characters had more health and didn't die after 1 hit. other than that this game is fun

Playing this will take you back in time, to a time, where games were 100% marketed towards men. To a time, where game's were hard and were designed to take as much of your money as possible. Except with this version, the game has free play enabled by default. You can increase the amount of continues you have as much as you want. The game its self, is rather short too. 5 stages, each with 4-5 lvls. Game has shared screen multiplayer. Controller friendly. Can rebind keys in the in game options. Fair warning though.... as i said, this game was made in a different time. Like, this game would be given an R-rating in today's world for reasons that become VERY obvious when you play it. Infact.... if you are still in your teens, live with your parents, and they are the religious, strict type, i recommend you dont get this. Because ya.... they will smash your pc with a hammer when they find out/if they see what crime's joe and mac commit in this game. Not almost as bad as what can be done in today's modern game's, but still, as i said, back in the day, i could see this game getting some kid's into some serious trouble with their parents back in the day. EDIT: After having beaten the game (im bad at old school arcade platformers, would have spent many quarters beating this) id just like to add, the controls are not always responsive as much as one would like them to be. Sometime's had a small amount of button lag. You have been warned. Good luck.

[h1]Easy Single Screen Fun ![/h1] Platformers back in the 1980's and the early 1990's were often difficult (especially compared to games being released these days). Sometimes we just needed to relax and play something easy and fun in order to mix things up. Enter 'Joe & Mac Returns', released in the year 1994. This game has the classic 1980's single screen gameplay, but with all the bells and whistles of the 1990's. Expect at least an hour of fun, a few bosses and some good old fashioned "cheeky" humor. A lush colorful palette, nice animations and graphics that stood the test of time. Controller recommended. Have fun !

Although this game with Joe & Mac is not as adventurous as cavemen is, you will quickly notice that there is no shortage of challenges that remain in the prehistoric atmosphere. Defeat all the enemies in time to save the girl and try to catch as many pieces of fruit as possible, not only for the score but also to be able to use it as a weapon and throw it at your enemies, multiple pieces of fruit also make for more powerful attacks. you will also experience boss fights that provide the variation in challenge.
