In recent months, several classic games have been remade, re-released, and re-done. For example, Spy Hunter and Pong. I was thinking about some classic games that really need to be re-made. The first one on my personal list, would have to be Caveman Ugh-Lympics. There was a game that was both fun, and hilarious. For that matter, there haven’t really been any good caveman games lately. I remember playing BC: The Quest for Tires, and Grog’s Revenge, and enjoying them immensely. I think they (who are “they” anyway) need to make more caveman games. Forget all this hyper-realistic super-strategic stuff, I want to hit someone over the head with a club while they’re trying to make a fire.
I suppose that’s what wrestling games are for.
Granted, Caveman Ugh-lympics took advantage of a popular genre (at the time) and turned it on its ear, and granted, the whole “summer games/winter games/decathalon” genre isn’t really pushing game sales figures through the roof. I still think people (people like me) would enjoy watching their little on-screen caveman running for dear life from a sabre-toothed tiger, or trying to pole-vault over a dinosaur.
So, EA, if you’re listening (which I know you’re not) - look through the archives, and update some of your great titles.
