The game starts in a cave with many exits. The aim is to guide the caveman back to his tribe without falling foul of the many dangers of a wild and primitive world: wild animals, river journeys, deserts and mountains.

On your travels, you find various objects which could be useful in overcoming the hazards. It is up to you to decide if it is worth picking them up, but remember that the most unlikely objects can be useful in the most unlikely situations.

The tape loads easily and excellent use is made of the function keys.
