===================================DISCLAIMER================================== I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com), IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on. Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of hassle in my mailbox. So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks. Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear anywhere at the following URLs: http://www.cheatcc.com http://www.cheatindex.com This document Copyright 2004,2017,2022 Daniel Engel =============================================================================== Joe & Mac FAQ January 17, 2022 Daniel (DEngel) Engel dan.engel.2017 [AT] gmail [DOT] com twitch.tv/dengelchill ############################################################################### (A) TABLE OF CONTENTS ############################################################################### Table of Contents (A) This Table of Contents (B) Controls (C) Items (D) Enemies (E) Walkthrough (F) Experimental ############################################################################### (B) CONTROLS ############################################################################### The controls for this game are very simple, and are as follows: A - Jumps.

Gastronomy The enemies in the game that aren't bosses appear in masses at random locations on the screen, the only thing that can be predicted is at what parts of a stage they start appearing in. Also be warned that this game is VERY hard and frustrating, especially when compared to the SNES Joe & Mac which was quite an easy game. ======== Stage 01 ======== Avoid the pteranodons while you kill cavemen and bushes and head right. High jump over the baby t-rex's when you see them and continue right. Here's your first mini-boss a t-rex, he's very easy if you high jump and throw axes at his head. This will force him left with each hit and he'll die quite easily, then you can continue the stage. Avoid the pteranodons while you kill cavemen and walk over a giant t-rex. Check what weapon the caveman is carrying and if it's a wheel or fire get it, otherwise keep your axe. Destroy the helicopter and walk over another giant t-rex, then kill or avoid the helicopter as you continue right to the boss. Here's your first stage boss a giant t-rex, he's very easy if you high jump and throw axes at his head. Of course you'll have to time this to jump over his rocks and small t-rex's but other than that it's a pretty easy battle. ======== Stage 02 ======== Head right and jump the rocks as you avoid the pteranodons. Grab the weapon if it's a wheel or fire, then continue right. Jump across the ledges as you kill the plants, beware of their seeds. Also be careful of the electric fish between some platforms. Continue right to start the battle with the mini-boss, a giant plant. There isn't any real pattern to this guy, so the best bet is to just high jump as much as you can and fire shots at the giant plant until it dies. Make sure that you don't get too close to it though, otherwise it will eat and kill you with one bite. Avoid the many pteranodons and rocks as you jump over platforms on your way right. Get the weapon if it's a wheel or fire, otherwise continue right. Once you pass the wall in the background you will be close to the stage boss. The stage boss is a large pteranodon, and you fight him while there are baby pteranodons trying to hit you. Try your best to dodge the baby pteranodons as you high jump and hit the big one, or shoot up at it from the ground when it flies low. The battle isn't tough really, but can take some time. ======== Stage 03 ======== Avoid pteranodons and electric fish as you head right, then get the weapon if it's a wheel or fire. Avoid more pteranodons and electric fish, then check the next weapon for a wheel or fire and continue right to the mini-boss. This giant water beast isn't all that tough, just make sure you high jump a lot. This way you'll clear his shots and be able to hit him in the head easily, also high jump over him as he comes at you. Avoid rocks and pteranodons as you head right, then kill some cavemen and check for a wheel or fire weapon. Jump some tiny t-rex's and avoid the pteranodons, then jump a pit and check for a wheel or fire weapon before going right to the boss. For this armoured dinosaur go right underneath his mouth, then his shots should miss you. Now adjust yourself slightly (face left) until you can hit him by firing straight up, do this until he is dead. ======== Stage 04 ======== Jump running cavemen, rocks, and birds as you go right. Kill the rock-throwers and continue right to the mini-boss. Here you will fight a t-rex, while pteranodons fly above. You can kill him pretty much the same way as the t-rex that you fought earlier in the game, but you'll take some hits from the pteranodons. Also he doesn't back up when he gets hit, so just use high jumps and aim for the head to win the battle. Destroy the helicopter and head right as you avoid birds and pits. Check the weapon for a wheel or fire and continue right, then avoid more pits, electric fish and birds until you reach the boss. You're fighting another large pteranodon here, so just try your best to avoid the baby pteranodons as you kill the big one and end the stage. ======== Stage 05 ======== At the start of the stage you'll be jumping over some running cavemen and many birds as you head right. Get the weapon if it's a wheel or fire, then continue right jumping over more running cavemen, birds and baby t-rex's. Now you fight a T-Rex as the mini-boss of the stage. If you hide under him and high jump up to hit him when it's safe (the pteranodons are in your way most of the time) the fight should be over fairly quickly. For the next part of the stage you'll be jumping cavemen and birds as you head right. Get the weapon if it's a wheel or fire and jump more birds and some rocks. Now you'll fight the last boss of the game, a giant caveman. Dodge his rocks and the birds as you attack him in the head with the axe and you should have a pretty easy fight. Now you can watch the ending to the game and enter your name if you got a high score. ############################################################################### (F) EXPERIMENTAL ############################################################################### I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to send money, so it's here for those people.
