Gameplay

Prehistorik 2 was well produced, being one of the latest Amstrad 8 bit production.

It is a classical Platform Game, with horizontal and Vertical scrollings.

Graphics clearly show a 16bit based crossdev origin.

And the PLUS extra capabilities mode, as this game works on CPC and PLUS, clearly display the many differences or common share of the 2 generations capabilities.

Yet it was perhaps a bit too much as the game is quite sluggish too.

It is also notable that the game is unfinished, as it features only 2 complete levels compared to 16 bit version, and was probably rushed to the release as so many Amstrad productions of the late era.

Yet the intro page seems inferior to it's CPC (old) counterpart, due to a poor choice of inks/colours.
