==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 scrollingsvertical scrolling.
Graphics clearly show a 16bit based crossdev cross development origin.
And the PLUS extra capabilities mode, as this This game works on CPC and PLUS, Plus and has a special plus version which clearly display displays the many differences or common share and commonality of the capabilities of the 2 generations capabilities.
Yet perhaps it was perhaps a bit showing too much as the game is quite sluggish too.
It is also notable that the game is unfinished, as it features has less levels than the 16 bit versions with only 2 complete levels compared to 16 bit version, and was probably a rushed to the release as so many Amstrad productions of the late era.
