DOSBox <3
I've found Prehistorik 2, the sequel to it's predecessor Prehistorik by Titus Entertainment, quite fun game to play and explore. It has secret levels, secret platforms triggerable by hitting them in the air, lots of hidden shortcuts and great replayability.
The game itself has gone abandonware and you can get it at the-underdogs.org or abandonia.com
I decided to start this thread and start giving tips for fastest possible routes to the levels.
For Level 1, jump on a bear high up in the air in the first open gap half screen to the right from the beginning and trigger a platform by hitting air with the club. Press down in the middle of it. You find yourself near the exit, just run to the right, take the green tinderbox and touch the streetlight.
For Level 2, go the the high pole to the right, jump on bear and on the bird too so that you can jump high enough to get over it. It's quite hard. Then just run to the right, go into the cave, take tinderbox and go to the streetlight. You can skip cave and press down under the streetlight to finish level by jumping on the pink switch and getting into first secret level.
For level 3, I haven't yet fully investigated it, but you can finish it by either beating the boss to the right or by using the most upper wasp as a transport to the right where you can finish the level thru the secret level. Could be shortcuts and faster ways here.
Level 4, either run to the right as fast as possible, take tinderbox below the start and run to the right again or use dinosaurs as platform in the killing pit and destroy the left wall there to get to secret level. Could be faster ways and shortcuts here.
Level 5, there are some hut shortcuts and risky shortcut jumps down the trees but you need to press down near end to get tinderbox high in the trees and then finish level. I think I'm missing lots of shortcuts or even a secret level here.
Level 6, not very much improving possible, just go down with the screen and beat the boss. Throwing axe is optional.
Level 7, probably tons of shortcuts, haven't yet investigated it, just know where you can get huge extra points by dropping in hole near end and following the path to refridgerators. Quite interesting to speedrun where the snowstorm starts and some other places too.
Level 8, some press-down warps around the level I think, not yet investigated fully.
Level 9, the fortress is probably full of crazy secrets and warps, long since I played it.
Single segment run would be quite hard but single level runs would be playable. Use passwords (depend on the PC) to warp to necessary level.
Expert should be the difficulty to play on.
I don't know yet how to fix sound on WinXP, ideas? (press F3 to turn the annoying sound off).
