Maybe it's because I loved Captain Caveman as a kid. Maybe it's because it was an idea I didn't see coming and had no advance info on. Maybe it's because it reminds me of the "release the stone of shame!/attach the stone of triumph!" moment in the Simpsons. For whatever reason, this just really, immediately appealed to me. I particularly dig the idea of using boulder to clog a volcano. very cool! I wasn’t going to comment on two games in a row, but I can’t help it — I LOVE THIS ONE!
