Big Nose and the Witchdoctor (Unl) (Beta) Game

Big Nose and the Witchdoctor (Unl) (Beta) is a quirky, hidden gem from the wild world of unlicensed NES games—where creativity often ran as wild as the difficulty! You play as Big Nose, a caveman with, well, a very prominent schnoz, on a mission to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend from the clutches of a sneaky witchdoctor. Armed with nothing but a trusty club (and maybe a few prehistoric power-ups), you’ll battle through jungles, caves, and who-knows-what-else in this delightfully oddball platformer.

What makes this beta version extra intriguing? It’s a rare peek into an unfinished, unpolished adventure that still oozes charm. The gameplay is rough around the edges—typical of bootleg NES titles—but that’s part of its weird appeal. If you love offbeat retro games with a side of nostalgia (or just enjoy whacking enemies with a caveman’s club), this one’s a fascinating time capsule from the era when developers played fast and loose with the rules. Just don’t blame us if the witchdoctor’s tricks—or Big Nose’s wonky jumps—drive you a little prehistorically mad!
