Joe & Mac, known as Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja in Europe and Joe & Mac: Caveman Fight (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 Mega Drive (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 B; he can change the particular weapon by grabbing a new one when it appears (hammers and wheels, for example). A and C both jump, however A has Joe jump higher and curled into a ball; B is a shorter jump that can be used to crush enemies. There is also a 2 player mode that let the second player control Mac; while most ports use a menu at the title screen to select the mode, Takara requires you to hit  START  with the second controller at the title screen to play in 2P mode.
