Physically, ''Caveman'' resembles a conventional pinball machine, but with a video screen embedded in the top of the playfield and a small joystick in front of the player's position. During gameplay, when the player shot a ball into either side of the screen, the table would lock the ball and start a simple MazeGame. Using the joystick, the player would move a caveman, catching extra balls and hunting dinosaurs. The player would return to the pinball game if he exited the maze or got eaten by a ''T. rex.''
