Joe & Mac (Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja in Europe and ジョーとマック 戦え原始人 in Japan) is a 1991 platforming action game by Data East, initially released for a DE-manufactured arcade board, but later ported to home consoles such as the Sega Genesis (ported by Takara).
You control Joe, a green-haired caveman, as he tries to rescue his and his blue-haired friend Mac's girlfriends, who have been kidnapped by enemy cavemen one night. Joe shoots a weapon by hitting ; he can change the particular weapon by grabbing a new one when it appears (hammers and wheels, for example). and both jump, however has Joe jump higher and curled into a ball; is a shorter jump that can be used to crush enemies. Most versions of the game have a 2 player mode that let the second player control Mac; Takara omitted this from the Mega Drive port.
