Play Joe & Mac on sega Online

Joe & Mac came out on the Sega Genesis in 1991, published by Data East. It was one of those side-scrolling platformers that felt right at home on the system, full of color and simple, direct action. You didn't need a complicated story; you just picked a caveman and set off to rescue some kidnapped cavewomen.

You control either Joe or Mac, moving screen by screen through prehistoric jungles and caverns. Your main goal is to fight through dinosaurs and other enemies using weapons like bones, stone wheels, and boomerangs. The game has a steady pace, but the difficulty can spike with precise platforming over pits of lava or water. It feels chaotic and silly in a way that makes you want to play just one more level.
