3	''Big Nose Freaks Out'' is a PlatformGame and sequel to ''VideoGame/BigNoseTheCaveman'', developed by Creator/{{Codemasters}} and published by Camerica. It was originally released in 1992 as an unlicensed game for the Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem and also found itself on the MediaNotes/AladdinDeckEnhancer.

5	[[ExcusePlot The plot is pretty simple]]: a caveman named Bignose is on his way to the bank when he has his bone stolen by a dinosaur, and he goes on a quest to take it back.

7	The gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1'', which came out around the same time. Bignose zooms around his stone-board -- the caveman equivalent of a skateboard -- at high speeds to traverse the environment, which includes a lot of slopes and ramps. The goal is to get to the end of each stage while collecting bones for points. Progression through the game is nonlinear, and you can tackle the five stages in any order.
