Released: 1991
Chuck Rock is an action-platformer that was released on numerous systems including the Sega CD (1992).
+ Has some clever rock uses, such as being able to carry a boulder above your head to protect against volcanic eruptions.
+ Combining rocks to reach otherwise inaccessible areas is a great idea that adds an exploratory puzzle-like element.
+ Affords you multiple hits before losing a life and there's a plentiful amount of hearts scattered around to top up your metre.
- Missing the intro / uncensored ending from the Amiga (1991) version, and the bosses have easily exploitable attack patterns.
- Hard to control Chuck underwater and it can be tricky to accurately judge spatial distance due to his short attack range.
- Enemies often hide behind the foreground scenery for cheap hits and have a tendency to throw projectiles from off-screen.
