Prehistorik World! - (PC GAME) The Next Great MMORPG

I'm using the title screen from the original 1992 Prehistorik–II, by Titus Interactive: Used here to give an impression of the general ‘feel’ that I'm thinking of. Of course the actual game would have 3D graphics and the works. But I think this shot has imagery that really makes the idea clearer.

The World Long Ago...
A flowing river cuts through a dense forest, deep in a lost valley. The Mountain range envelopes the forest and in the distance, an active volcano spews soot and sulfur into the clear sky. Pterosaurs nesting in these hills fly through the air, with their eerie cawing resounding across the valley. A system of caves lies at the base of that mountain range. In these caves dwells primitive Man. Some grip clubs in their rough hands, about to set off into the forests to hunt beasts. Yet others sit by the fire ready to cook meat.

You find yourself amongst these men. The world is real and alive, and there is no limit to what u can do in this world. It’s up to you to carve out your destiny. It’s your Adventure!

You and your friends can embark on an epic adventure in this prehistoric world! You may meet new people from other tribes and discover forests teeming with prehistoric wildlife – from dinosaurs to (now) extinct mammals and reptiles. Some too powerful and dangerous to approach. Others may be hunted for food and resources. Yet others may be docile and friendly. You may even tame them to work for you, or serve as your mount!

In this world there are other people. Other tribes! Some may be friendly to you and your friends. Others may be antagonists. And yet some enemies may be befriended. Its up to your tact, your communication skills, your diplomacy.

Will you make new friends, or betray your old ones? Will you be banished from your tribe to roam the lands alone until you find others willing to take you in? Or perhaps, without the support of your friends you may even perish in these foreign lands…

And yet, through your skill for survival, it may be that your renown will spread through the lands and every caveman shall be in awe of your greatness. Perhaps you will find new pastures, and found your own settlement.

Whatever the outcomes, in this Prehistorik World, the choices are yours to make.
