[[Prehistorik 2]], a game published by [[Titus Software]], was coded by [[Elmar Krieger]] ([[EGS]]). The In-Game-Music was composed by [[Kangaroo MusiQue]] of [[HJT]]
==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 scrolling.
Graphics clearly show a 16bit based cross development origin.
This game works on CPC and Plus and has a special plus version which clearly displays the differences and commonality of the capabilities of the 2 generations.
Yet perhaps it was showing too much as the game is quite sluggish.
It is also notable that the game has less levels than the 16 bit versions with only 2 complete levels and was probably a rushed release as so many Amstrad productions of the late era.
== Technical ==
Title screen uses 32KB mode overscan. Game uses rupture technique to split the screen into a scrolling section and a section with a panel.
There are 3 special versions selectable:
* Standard version
* Special version 1
* Special version 2
These versions differ by their use of R3 to improve horizontal scrolling and vertical/horizontal sync timings.
Then you can choose 64KB version, 128K version with enhancements or Plus version.
=== 64KB vs 128KB ===
* 64KB version doesn't have a status panel.
=== Standard version ===
* R3 changes between &0c and &05 when scrolling to make the smoother R3 horizontal scroll.
* R2 is &32
=== Special version 1 ===
* R3 = &8e on the title screen
* Game switches between &0C and &8E. R3 is not used to improve the horizontal scroll.
* R2 is &32
=== Special versión 2 ===
* R3 = &8e on the title screen
* Game switches between &0C and &8E. R3 is not used to improve the horizontal scroll.
* R2 is &31

The Amstrad PLUS version, displaying its sweet intro music and the large range of Greys the CPC lacked, achieving a 16bit flavour.
Yet the intro page seems inferior to it's CPC (old) counterpart, due to a poor choice of inks/colours.
