Item Description

Most early-nineties platform heroes sold speed and attitude. Chuck Rock sells a belly. This big, bellowing caveman fights by bumping enemies with his stomach and launching flying kicks, and his mission is gloriously simple: rescue his wife Ophelia from Gary Gritter, the rival caveman who carried her off. Core Design first released the game on the Amiga in 1991, and the Super Nintendo version brings its rubbery, cartoon prehistory to Nintendo's console with plenty of slapstick intact.

The rocks are the clever part. Chuck can hoist boulders over his head and hurl them at dinosaurs, but he can also set them down and climb on top to reach higher ledges, so nearly every stone you pass is a puzzle piece as much as a weapon. He is heavy and deliberate rather than nimble, and the jungles, swamps and caverns are paced for that, crowded with goofy dinosaurs and woolly mammoths that are more comic than menacing. The fun comes from working out what to do with the boulder in front of you, then watching a caveman settle the matter with his gut.

There is a great bit of trivia behind it, too. Core Design, the Derby studio that made Chuck, went on to create Tomb Raider in 1996, and Chuck Rock was one of its early breakout hits, popular enough to earn a sequel, Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck, starring his club-swinging baby. Its humor is pure British computer-game comedy of the era, all belly flops and dinosaur gags, and it plays nothing like the Mario and Sonic imitators that crowded store shelves around it.

On a Super Nintendo today it is a charming change of pace: a slower, chunkier platformer with a sense of humor and a hero unlike anyone else in the library, from the studio that was about to change action games forever.
