This is a maze game reminiscent of Pac-Man where players assume the role of Theropod-like dinosaurs (with Styracosaurus-like heads) Rex, Bloop, Spike, and/or Gwen, through 49 islands set in the land of "Og", home to the one-eyed cavemen known as the "Trog".
Players must pick up all colored eggs lying around the map as the titular cavemen wander around, attempting to eat them.

Unlike what's in Pac-Man, the dinosaurs can attack at any time with a punch that does not require a power-up.
The power-ups randomly spawn to help finish the level; these include red flowers that increase the player's speed; ice cubes that freeze all on-screen Trogs; pineapples, which turn the character into a full-grown T-Rex and temporarily eat Trogs and a firebrand which bestows a temporary fire breathing ability on the dinos.

There are three levels of difficulty: Easy, Advanced and Expert (although the arcade operator can set the difficulty in the operator menu to make the game more difficult on easier levels, without the player's knowledge of the true global difficulty).
Advanced Mode rewards a 200,000 level bonus and Expert rewards a 400,000 level bonus. As the levels progress, the cavemen become smarter and invent new ways to capture the dinosaurs.

They eventually create fire pits and wheels to burn and flatten, respectively, the character and springs to bounce themselves all over the screen. Catapults and transportation chambers in latter stages help evade these attacks, however these are also usable by the Trogs resulting in some tactical gameplay options.
