Dinobasher Starring Bignose the Caveman

Sega Master System (SMS)Platformer1993

Dinobasher Starring Bignose the Caveman is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Codemasters for the Sega Master System. It features Bignose, a prehistoric caveman who uses a club while travelling through dinosaur-themed environments. The game is associated with Codemasters’ Bignose character and is generally documented as an unreleased or incomplete Master System project rather than a conventional commercial release. Because no standard retail release is established, information about its final content, date, and reception is limited. Available references treat it as a historical prototype or cancelled title, so details that would normally be confirmed from a manual or finished cartridge remain uncertain.
