Chuck Rock (Genesis version)

Chuck Rock is the name of a video game released for various home computer and console systems and developed by Core Design. In the game the player controls the prehistorical caveman Chuck Rock through various side-scrolling levels in an effort to save Chuck's wife who was captured by some dinosaurs. However, in the Amiga and Mega CD versions, it is explained that his wife Ophelia was kidnapped by the main villain, who resembles Elvis, named Gary Gritter, according to its opening cutscene. The game was noteworthy as the major form of defense was to bump enemies with Chuck Rock's stomach, and for the catchphrase "unga bunga!" which was shouted by Chuck at the start of each level. Alternatively the character could pick up and - of course - 'chuck' rocks at opponents. This gamee was also released on the SNES (super nintendo entertainment system).
