Description

Caveman is a pinball/arcade video game hybrid. Play begins on the pinball field. Spell the word CAVE to acquire an extra ball. Hit certain drop targets or roll-overs to change Tyrannosaurus Rex into bonus-scoring pterodactyls in the video portion. Get the ball locked into one of two channels to enter the video maze. Now, you must use the joystick to move about the maze, killing Brontosaurus. Be warned, however, that after you kill one, it becomes a Tyrannosaurus Rex and starts chasing you. Kill all the Brontos to advance to the Triceratops. Kill all of them to go to a harder Bronto level. You can exit the video portion through channels at the sides and top and bottom of the maze to return to the pinball portion. If a T-Rex catches you, you are dropped out of the video portion back into pinball but you lose that ball.
