A port of The Humans
The gameplay of The Humans has similarities to Lode Runner and Lemmings. Your job in this action puzzler is to help prehistoric man to evolve by helping them discover tools, the wheel, weapons, or even fire. Each level in the game will have a given task to help in this, and you are allotted a number of characters who must accomplish the task. The player can switch from person to person while moving the characters around each scrolling puzzle, and teamwork is essential to success.

More interesting than either of the other 2 Jaguar games so far, but it's still a pale imitation of something better, in this case Lemmings. It's got much more of an interesting aesthetic identity, and it actually has music this time, but it's still very very slow and boring and not worth playing more than a couple levels of. It's not even Jaguar exclusive either lol, if you really wanted to play this game you could have gotten it on the Genesis or SNES too.

LEMMINGS, but a lot more needlessly complex and a LOT more British.
It at least looks okay and works fine, but is super boring and at best probably makes you want to play its much better inspiration instead.

This does feel a lot more competent than something like Cybermorph or Trevor McFur, but it still doesn't particularly thrill me. Feels slow and imprecise in general, it's annoying getting one guy over a gap then repeating it over and over. I realize by this point we're well into the 90s so I can more competently judge these games as mediocre rather than need to consider if they might be fair for the era. Maybe if I liked Lemmings I'd enjoy this more

Lemmings except I want to literally die of boredom.
This is legit so boring and the music seems like it's made to be annoying just to piss you off, I seriously would not be able to ever sit down and beat all the levels as I literally got so damn bored playing this, atleast in lemmings something interesting happens, this boring asf clone doesn't.
Don't play it.

It's fine I suppose, the aiming of the spear could stand to be a lot more responsible but its a serviceable enough puzzle game. Just once again, another Atari game just nowhere on the calibur of other games being released in this era.
I swear, anytime you boot up a European game there's like a 32% chance it's some derivative of Lemmings.
Not gonna lie, this stuff isn't really my cup of coffee. I had more fun getting the stupid cavemen to fall off cliffs and kill themselves than trying to fiddle with the awkward control scheme of the Jaguar controller on my Xbox pad. It actually had a worse user rating than Fight for Life on GameFAQs, which is kinda odd since it seemed mostly playable from what I gathered for about ten minutes. Maybe if I was a Lemmings guy I'd play long enough to see the horrible stages later to see how garbage it truly is, but for now I'm gonna assume it was because us dopey Americans just don't get the genius of Lemmings and would rather play Twisted Metal or something. I mean, I sure would.
Anyways, here's a monkey in a Outrun car waving goodbye in the game over screen.
