It was called Trog! I'm pretty sure there's an NES version. (i looked it up lol) but yeah, the arcade game was great.
Start with Pac-Man. Thing chased by enemies eating pellets. Make all the art claymationy. Make Pac-Man a dinosaur and all the ghosts evil stupid cavemen. The cavemen aren't undefeatable though! You can punch them and/or lead them off cliffs (the edge of the map lol). Also, instead of eating a giant pellet to turn the ghosts blue, you eat a giant pineapple to turn into a huge dinosaur so you can run around eating the cavemen.
This game was just so fun. I'm quite happy. The arcade we went to also had a Rampage machine. That was great.
Ok yeah, I'm done.
Edit - Here's a screenshot.

I even went to this big arcade last week, called the Funspot up in New Hampshire with my Boss, and we played for hours. I didn't see this there though, tons of other classic arcade games.
I really feel like I missed out on something.
It also had a cameo in Terminator 2.
It's not something people hear about.
