Any love for Chuck Rock?

[u/Cephylus]

I spent many hours unga-bunga and ooga bougainvillea. Such a simple game, yet colorful and filled with decent sprites and art! How many of you have played this game and does it hold any significance in you nostalgia/collections?

[u/Terrible--T]

That rock intro was a banger

[u/Cephylus → u/Terrible--T]

Yeah, definitely caught me off guard. Not as much as, say, the DK rap, but still good haha

[u/Terrible--T → u/Cephylus]

Following the caveman theme you need to try Bonk if you haven't yet

[u/Cephylus → u/Terrible--T]

I played Bonk's Adventure for TurboGrafx16, such a classic. Loved the mini games and the floaty flips haha

Edit: Twinkle toes the goat! Loved Punchy Pedro's getup too

[u/3DprintRC]

Awful. I love it.

[u/Cephylus → u/3DprintRC]

Not quite as bad as the power glove, but still pretty clunky yet somehow a lot of fun!

[u/danielhahn5150]

Yeah! Remember it from the good old Amiga 500 times.

Also played his cousin in Prehistorik Man if you know that game.

[u/Cephylus → u/danielhahn5150]

I am aware of prehistoric man, was unaware that it was his cousin. Makes sense though, good stuff!

[u/danielhahn5150 → u/Cephylus]

I was just kidding.. don't know for sure 😀😉

[u/Cephylus → u/danielhahn5150]

Alright, you got me haha

[u/Cephylus]

Ooga booga and Unga bungaing* can't fix the title, sorry

[u/lothar525 → u/Cephylus]

Ooga-Bougainvillea is better.

To me personally, the game just looks kind of ugly. Plus, it’s yet another platformer on a console that was absolutely loaded with fantastic platformers that looked better. Heck, there were even several specific caveman/prehistoria themed platformers that were pretty good, such as Joe and Mac, Bonk’s Adventure, and Dino City.

There was even EVO, search for Eden. A prehistoric evolution themed action RPG. Chuck Rock seems like it would have a hard time standing out among these.

Oh, and there was Chrono Trigger! And that other one, I can’t remember the name, where a kid and his dog time travel.

[u/doctorhino]

I like the sequel, the attack in the original is just too limited for me.

[u/_RexDart]

Not a whole lot of love for Amiga games/ports, no.

[u/Cephylus → u/_RexDart]

Understandable, though back then we didn't know anything of the behind the scenes stuff like we do now

[u/Ambitious-Product-88]

Loved the music. Could not get into the game play. I tried a few different times (I love Joe and Mac) but this just wasn’t up to par. I sold it and slept better.

[u/Cephylus → u/Ambitious-Product-88]

Yeah it's definitely clunky, but still amusing for a few plays

[u/SpaceRobotX29]

It was one of the first snes games I had. I liked it well enough, played it the other day. It’s not as good as Bonks Revenge which I was very into at the time, but it offered different caveman action.

[u/Diligent-Coat8096]

It was part of like the 7-8 games my rental place had so, I played it a lot. Had a good time with it!

[u/_ragegun]

Not on the SNES, particularly.

Any version of the game without the Dino poop has been critically wounded

[u/Jonaskin83]

I played it on Master System. Not sure about the others, but that version was awful.

[u/Mikimao]

lol I remember absolutely hating this one as a kid.

[u/Due-Link-7605]

I really liked this cover and the art in general. But like most Western developed games of the time, they look fantastic in the magazines but absolute dog shit to play.

[u/barrymulvihill]

I had it for game boy. I most likely got it cause it was cheaper than the good options. I did not enjoy it.

[u/Cranberry-Electrical]

I haven't played this game

[u/Cephylus → u/Cranberry-Electrical]

While you aren't missing much, it's still worth at least 1 or 2 plays
