I noticed Prime Target behind you! A game I had the demo for when I was younger, and played a lot. I've looked for it, but it appears it was only on Mac, and I dont think I ever found it anyway (3rd demo level, subway/sewer with punk junkies with shotguns used to scare the hell out of me. Damage Incorporated was another great Marathon/Doom engine FPS that CD had the demo for. Any chance you'd ever take a closer look at either of those?

Having tried them both I actually prefer the Sega CD version for its superior audio quality. In particular when played on my current emulation setup where I have it hooked up to a 5. 1 surround sound system. The tracks on the CD version sound quite nice pumped over virtual surround sound. Back in the 90's I also had surround sound and I would have killed to have this kind of audio quality from my games. I was stuck on SNES though.

I'm looking for a side scroller that I used to play on Sega Mega Drive as a kid. There was this kid with one tooth sticking out dressed in a leopard skin and carrying a club. I can't remember much of the gameplay. There were some boulders rolling down the hill that he had to evade. There was another game featuring the same character and it was more complex. Had mounts and stuff. Does anybody recognize any of this?

Yeah, Core design made a series of great amiga and mega drive games. Chuck Rock II was one of them, I love the Amiga CD32 version, and the Amiga 500 version is the one I spent more time with. The Mega Drive version is pretty neat as well, I would call it a tie. The first Chuck Rock though was better on the MD, apart from the censored dinosaur pooping thing that is.

I only first heard about this in your Sega CD video (I'm too young to have been around then and only got into retro games/computers recently, and ever since then, I've wondered:
Is this in any way related to Bonk on the TG16? I mean they were both out around the same time, and both of them are platformers about a stone-age baby. That can't be a coincidence.

Wow. I would have loved that game when I was a kid. Back in 1993, I was balls deep with Doom 2 so I may have completely missed gem like that. Graphics are amazing. It has 4 or 5 layers of parallax scrolling and not to mention smooth level scroll or sprite scaling. You can definitely tell the programmer put alot of talent and love into this.

Loving the new series. I have never played this game but it looks awfully similar to Prehistorik, a game I played the crap out of when I was younger. Any chance you will cover Prehistorik some time soon? :)
Also, is the title of this game that thing Knuckles keeps saying in Sonic Heroes? -Chuck rock yeah! -

I believe the term you are looking for is -pillow-shading-. It's a fun technique, but in (pixel) art it's usually used as a bit of a derogatory term.
Like many other commenters I prefer the Amiga version of the game, as sometimes the Genesis colors just hurt my soul: )

no way!
I thought I would never ever find out what that caveman game game was called,
which I played at my cousins sega many, many, many years ago.
It's chuck rock! thanks! :P
(actually I never looked it up but always wondered what it was called)
