Line 2:
A 1991 Platformer Arcade Game by [[Data East]]. Set in [[Prehistoria]], the object of the game is to [[Damsel in Distress|rescue the titular duo's harem of]] [[Nubile Savage|cave girls]] from a band of rival cavemen and their dinosaur pet bosses.
 
It has seen quite a few home ports, namely the [[Super NES]], [[Sega Genesis]], [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], [[Game Boy]], Amiga, DOS, and Zeebo. It was followed by two SNES sequels: ''Congo's Caper'' (1992) and ''Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics'' (1994). There was also an arcade spin-off in 1994 titled ''Joe & Mac Returns''.
 
On November 6th 2009, French developer [[Golgoth Studio]] announced that they were working on a [http://golgothstudio.com/devblog/category/joe-mac/ new installment in the series in DLC format]. Lack of updates since then places the new ''Joe & Mac'' squarely in [[Development Hell]] for the time being.

* [[And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating]]: In ''Lost in the Tropics''.
* {{spoiler|[[Abhorrent Admirer]]: If you go down the middle and lower paths after the final boss, the ending will show you being chased by either an overweight middle-aged cavewoman or a male neanderthal in a drag. Though Joe and Mac have the same scared reaction when they're being chased by groupies.}}
* [[And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating]]: In ''Lost in the Tropics''.
* [[Bamboo Technology]]: Mook cavemen riding a foot powered helicopters. They throw bombs at you, for some odd reason.
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: The cavegirls, all tied up in various forms during boss fights. This [[Bowdlerized|was removed from the SNES version]] [[Fetish Fuel|for obvious reasons]].

** Also, there's Cola as a collectible food item, which was common in [[Data East]] games.
* [[Smooch of Victory]]: After every boss fight, the rescued cavegirl will kiss your character on the cheek, restoring his health. If two players are playing, only the one who dealt more damage to the boss gets it (much to the other's chagrin).
* [[Title Confusion]]: ''Joe & Mac 2'' is known as ''Tatakae Genshijin 3'' in Japan and ''Joe & Mac 3'' in Europe. The Japanese title makes sense, since ''Congo's Caper'' was ''Tatakae Genshijin 2'' over there, but the change from ''Joe & Mac 2'' to ''Joe & Mac 3'' is a bit more puzzling (unless they were counting ''Joe & Mac Returns'' as "Joe & Mac 2", which came out almost at the same time).
* [[Womb Level]]: Results in a giant realistic-looking beating heart as a backdrop.
