Ok, I remember renting this game a lot a long time ago, and I'd like to play it again, but I don't know the name. It's for the NES, and it features cavemen. There's a grid on which you control your character, who is a caveman. There is no scrolling of the screen (think bomberman, but the levels are a single screen). I think maybe there's an item on every square you have to collect to pass the level, but I'm not sure. The enemies are cavemen too, but they are all cyclops. The levels had prehistoric themes, like dinosaur bones or tar pits spread across the level too. I think there are three bonus levels that you get enter after completing certain stages, they each have names, and one of them is something something BBQ, and there's a volcano in it. Sometimes, after beating a level, you'll see a cyclops caveman rubbing his chin or something, then a thought bubble will appear and in it will be one the enemies using some sort of new "invention", then in the next level, all the enemies will be using it. One of these are pogo sticks. I remember that the pogo stick level has some sort of trampolines or something in the four corners, and the level is mostly green colored. Well, that's all I can remember, any help is appreciated.
I love Crystal Mines.

The Ninja game could be Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master. It's hard and you can jump on walls. But the description could fit a lot of games. No clue on the other.

Trog is the best Pacman clone ever.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

The pacman clone I don't know, but the rest maybe... Alexx Kid game? There are many of those, and I have only played the first one on Master System. Had some awesome speech as well. "Find the magic ball." :) Also, Master System has a game called Vigilante, the guy didn't look like ninja, but he used some nunchakus :) Nothing else comes to mind. I was and still am a Nintendo Kid :)

Thanks guys! The names tells me nothing unfortunately. I was hoping for a possible time attack of those mystical games ;) Anyways, I agree with Kilu. I was raised with a NES, not a SEGA-machine.
