Booby Kids is a platform game developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System, set in a prehistoric world where players control a young boy navigating through levels filled with cavemen and dinosaurs. The objective is to collect treasures while avoiding lethal encounters. Players can use traps to temporarily immobilize dinosaurs, but a single hit from any enemy results in instant defeat.
During the prehistoric era of humanity, cavemen and dinosaurs compete for ultimate supremacy. A young boy has to collect important treasure without being killed by the rampaging dinosaurs. All he can do is attempt to temporarily paralyze them with a specialized dinosaur trap. All treasures must be collected before admittance to the next level is possible. One hit from either a dinosaur, caveman, or other type of enemy instantly kills the player.
