From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Joe & Mac, also known as Caveman Ninja and Caveman Ninja: Joe & Mac, is a 1991 platform game released for arcades by Data East. It was later adapted for the Super NES, Mega Drive/Genesis, Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Amiga, Zeebo, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The game stars the green-haired Joe and the blue-haired Mac, cavemen who battle through numerous prehistoric levels using weapons such as boomerangs, bones, fire, flints, electricity, stone wheels, and clubs. The objective of the game is to rescue a group of women who were kidnapped by a rival tribe of cavemen. The game features a health system by which the player loses health over a period of time, apart from during boss battles. A two-player mode is available, and in some versions both characters are capable of damaging each other.
The original arcade version and Amiga, Mega Drive/Genesis, MS-DOS and Zeebo ports have the distinction of allowing the player to select between different routes at the end of boss battles. Also, after defeating the final boss, the players can choose between three exits – each one leading to a slightly different ending sequence.
The game has been ported to various systems, some of which drop the name Caveman Ninja, referring to the game simply as Joe & Mac.
A Super NES version was developed and published in 1991 by Data East. In December 1992, a version for the NES was released. It was developed by Elite Systems and published by Data East. A Game Boy version, released in North America and the United Kingdom in April 1993, was developed by Motivetime and was also published by Data East. Finally, in late 1993, another version was developed by Eden Entertainment Software and published by Takara for the Sega Genesis and TecToy for the Brazilian Mega Drive in early 1994.
The Mega Drive/Genesis version is considered a close match to the arcade version. The Super NES version is a reworked game which features an overworld map used to choose the levels (unlike in other versions where all of them have to be played), which were longer, plus some bonus stages (either in the levels or out in the world map). Some of the weapons are missing and can no longer be charged up. The final boss is also different, and there are only two endings. The NES and Game Boy versions lack the option of choosing levels or endings. Both feature variants of the arcade boss.
The Japanese version of the game includes a beginning scene in which cavemen enter a hut and emerge while dragging cavewomen by their hair. The scene was removed from the US release, with Data East stating, 'We didn't want kids to see [the Japanese display] and think it was okay.'

Top 10 Classic Mac Games

Mac gamers didn't always have the access to all the games PC gamers had, so most of them cherish a unique list of MacIntosh only titles. Here's a list of 10 titles I fondly remember playing as a kid - and probably many long-time Mac gamers will recognize some of the titles in the list.
1. Crystal Quest (1987)
Crystal Quest is a fast-faced game in which you control a circular spaceship that shoots its way through stages. The game is completely controlled by mouse, but what really makes this one stands out are the hilarious sound effects. Passing a portal, picking up a star bonus, or shooting a blop enemy and most enemy sounds are all accompanied by funny, weird and memorable audio tones most Mac gamers will instantly recognize when hearing them.
2. Shufflepuck Café (1988)
Shufflepuck Café is probably the earliest game I played. This air hockey game / 3D Pong clone is also completely controlled by mouse and was originally developed for the Apple MacIntosh, but received many ports on other platforms later on. The game is memorable for its frantic gameplay and weird enemies (like the robot waiter on the picture below).
3. Glider PRO (1995)
Glider PRO was created by the same developers as Crystal Quest (namely Casady & Greene). In this game you control a paper plane flying through a house, while avoiding furniture and making use of hot air streams to keep floating up. The game has easy on the eye graphics, nice relaxing music and is easy to control - but is harder than you might except.
4. Power Pete (aka Mighty Mike) (1995)
Power Pete, later released as Mighty Mike, was packaged with Mac OS 7 on MacIntosh Performa models. The game was developed by Pangea Software, a company specialized in Mac games. It is a sort a Gauntlet game for kids, with funny sounds, nice graphics and easy controls, but I feel the game lacks a little depth on the long run.
5. Marathon (1994)
Marathon is a game that made Mac games mature. Bungie, that later went on to develop Halo, created an interesting and atmospheric first person shooter with many puzzle elements. The actually playing field is quite small and the enemy animations are a bit choppy by recent standards. It's a good game, but in all honesty I didn't enjoy it as much as Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, that eventually also came available for the Mac.
6. Bubble Trouble (1996)
Ambrosia Software was a shareware company that developed many high-end shareware games for the MacIntosh. Among the best of their games is Bubble Trouble (that has nothing to do with Bubble Bobble, if you were wondering). In this wonderful and colorful game you take control of a fish that has to collect diamonds by pushing through a sort of bubbles and avoiding enemies. It's very addictive and well produced and could have easily pass through for a true commercial release.
7. Hellcats over the Pacific (1991)
Hellcats over the Pacific is a very easy and accessible flight simulator, with 3D polygonal color graphics that were revolutionary for its days. The enige of this game was later also used for the more advanced F/A-18 Hornet flight simulator game.
8. Swoop (1995)
Swoop is another game by Ambrosia Software and probably the best Galaxian clone on the MacIntosh. This game has an amazing sound track, and great audio effects. It also looks very good. Again, high above shareware quality, like all of Ambrosia's shareware titles for the Mac.
9. Firefall Arcade (1993)
Firefall Arcade, also released by Pangea Software, is one of my favorite Mac games of all time - and also the best Centipede clone I ever played. The game can be controlled by mouse or keyboard, but I prefer the latter. The sound effects are great, but the best thing about Firefall Arcade is the AMAZING soundtrack. Regular levels are alternated with bonus stages, which is great. It's also a blast to try to better your own or the high scores of your friends. Along with Crystal Quest probably the Mac games I played the most.
10. Pathways into Darkness (1993)
Pathways into Darkness is the predecessor of Marathon and that game is the predecessor of the successful Halo franchise. Developer Bungie created a combination of a first person and an adventure game. The playing field is actually very small, because most the screen is used for other windows in which you have to manage your weapons and objects. Controlling the game (with keyboard for gameplay and mouse for object management) takes some time getting used to, but gets interesting in the long run.

Retro Games For Mac

My absolute favorite was Arashi, the better-than-Tempest Tempest clone. I wish someone would update it because I've yet to play a better of this type. Marathon 2's story line was fantastic, the setting very much in the vein of their later Halo.

Good article as usual. It's funny though. I never owned a mac, but I swear I've seen that screenshot of Shufflepuck Cafe before. I just can't for the life of me think of where..
