Contents
Story
The game takes place during the prehistorical Stone Age where dinosaurs and ancient creatures still roam the Earth. It stars Chuck Rock, an overweight, square-jawed caveman. Chuck Rock is a guitarist in a rock band along with other cavemen, and his wife Ophelia. One day Ophelia is kidnapped by someone known as Garry Gritter and taken to his hang-out, found in a dinosaur graveyard. Chuck must rescue her.
Gameplay
The sprite style and animation is cartoonish and gameplay filled with slapstick. Chuck can attack by thrusting his belly forward and hitting oncoming opponents. Another method of attack is by throwing rocks. Health is displayed in the HUD as a heart which shrinks with each hit taken. Health can be replenished by collecting dinsaur steaks found in levels. Some puzzle elements involve moving rocks to reach higher areas.
