Gameplay
Caveman Ughlympics is a Stone Age Olympics played using different combinations of keys on the player's keyboard or the NES controller. The game is made up of six events:
- Saber Race, where the player races against an opponent avoiding both obstacles and the sabre tooth tiger running behind.
- Matetoss, similar to the hammer throw, where the player has to spin their wife/husband and try to throw them as far as they can.
- Firemaking, where the player races an opponent to create a full-burning fire.
- Clubbing, where the player faces off against an opponent holding clubs on a cliff, trying to club the other off the cliff sides or deplete their life meter.
- Dino Race, where the player sits on a dinosaur and races against an opponent, avoiding obstacles on the course.
- Dino Vault, where the player has to pole vault over a Tyrannosaurus rex.
