Hey guys! I have a game in mind which really stuck into my memories for some reason, and I would love to experience it again. I remember certain details about it, but nothing too strong, I need a real PC games professional to help me out.

Details:

Definatley Windows, Most likely 95/98
Caveman/dinosaur/prehistoric themed
I believe there were a series of mini-games in it
Cartoony
Educational in some way
Not at all 3D
On the level select map thing, if you didn't push any keys, a caveman would say "Are you lost?"
I remember a river on the level select screen.

I hope someone is able to identify this!

Caveman: Ugh-Lympics? Perhaps Prehistorik or Prehistorik 2? Ugh? Joe and Mac: Caveman Ninja?

Thanks for trying! But it definitely had an educational twist to it, and wasn't a side-scroller.

Is it Spelling Jungle? The one where they say "back to the raft" a lot?

No problem, it was a favorite of mine when I was younger too.

Educational and "Caveman" immediately brings to mind only one thing, though I don't recall him being a caveman. All I remember was a bald guy with a staff and the phrase "back to the raft."

I was actually referring to the guy on the raft in this pic,

5813

But now I can see he's not a caveman at all! haha

Now I need to figure out how to run it on a 64-bit Windows 7! =/

Use Virtualbox. You can run Windows 95 in Windows 7!

I remember that King's Quest VII had demos for that entire series on the CD. Even back then, I thought they looked ridiculous. I forgot about them until I heard them mentioned in this video of the Sierra Tech Support Reunion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkQgL9s42WY). They were a pain to support because while they had no bugs, the users couldn't spell and called tech support for help...

HAHA! That's hilarious! They called tech support to help with the spelling? Love it!
