Hudson Selection Vol. 3: PC Genjin - Pithecanthropus Computerurus

About

This platformer casts you as a primitive caveman navigating 3D environments filled with traps, puzzles, and absurd obstacles. The controls are tight for a 2003 title, with fluid movement and precise jumps. Each level mixes slapstick humor and retro charm, though the lack of online features or multiplayer keeps it firmly in single-player territory. Hudson Soft’s legacy in the genre shines through in the level design, even if the premise leans heavily on goofy anthropomorphic gags. A remake of the 2D original "PC Genjin," this version expands on the formula with 3D exploration but retains the same chaotic energy. Community ratings on rawg.io average 82/100, praising its quirkiness but noting dated visuals. It’s a forgotten entry in the platformer library, flying under the radar outside Japan. The game’s enduring appeal lies in its sheer unpredictability, think boulder chases, dinosaur fights, and a computer upgrade that somehow makes you a caveman. Short, punchy, and oddly memorable.
