Big Nose Freaks Out is a fast-paced, unlicensed platformer released for the NES in 1992 by Codemasters. Players control Big Nose, a caveman whose bones were stolen by a prehistoric monster, as he rides a stone skateboard across various side-scrolling levels. It features momentum-based gameplay, requiring players to maintain speed while dodging dinosaurs, collecting bones, and navigating tricky jumps.
The objective is to reach the end of each stage, recovering bones and defeating enemies along the way to confront the thieving monster. Standard NES controls apply: use the D-pad (arrow keys) to move and balance the skateboard, A (Z) to jump, and B (X) to swing your club at enemies.
Maintaining momentum is crucial for clearing large gaps, but going too fast can easily lead to crashing into hazards. Mastering the club swing in mid-air can help you dispatch enemies before you land on them.
