Big Nose's American Adventure

Big Nose's American Adventure is an action platform game developed by Codemasters and published by The Codemasters Software Company Limited. Released in 1991, it follows Big Nose, a caveman transported to modern-day New York City.

After setting up camp beside a zoo, Big Nose sets out to free the caged animals. The game spans three levels across Manhattan, the Wild West, and the Golden Gate Bridge, with multi-directional scrolling as you move through each area.

Other people and creatures roam the levels and must be shot or avoided. Touching them costs one of three lives. Big Nose can be controlled with either a joystick or keyboard.
