- The Story
-
- Chuck, a typical caveman slob, is slouched in his comfy stone chair,
- glued to the T.V., drinking a can of his favorite beverage - root beer!
- This seems like any other day in Chuck's life, even the Aerial bird is
- getting bored with the same old thing and can't help nodding off.
-
- Ophelia, Chuck's wife is going about her mundane daily chores, hanging
- out yet another load of washing. However, unknown to her, the day is
- about to change!
-
- As Ophelia bends down to take some washing from her basket, the evil
- Gary Gritter, a long-time admirer of hers, sneaks up behind her with
- his club raised. Just as she hears something moving about behind her,
- down comes the club with a THUD on the back of Ophelia's head.
-
- Chuck, startled by the commotion outside, lifts his overweight frame from
- the comfort of his chair to do some investigating. Then remembering
- that all his clothes are in the wash he covers his pride with his
- hands before venturing outside, only to find no Ophelia, just a
- rumpled pile of washing and fresh tracks where something or someone
- seems to have been dragged through the dirt.
-
- A little bit embarrassed by his current state of dress, Chuck dashes
- behind the nearest bush and emerges wearing the latest in designer
- leaf and twig pants! Now Chuck begins his search for Ophelia...
-
- Game Play
-
- Chuck in spite of his size, can walk, jump, swim and lift heavy rocks.
- These rocks are very useful to Chuck, not only can they be thrown
- at oncoming dinosaurs, but he can also use them as steps to get to
- otherwise inaccessible areas. Only one rock can be carried at any one
- time. This hinders Chuck's jumping ability, dependent upon the size
- of the rocks.
-
- When Chuck isn't carrying anything he can still use his huge stomach
- to 'Belly-Butt` enemies or kick them out of his way with his
- enormous size 14 feet.
-
- When it comes to swimming, keep a close eye on Chuck's face on the
- panel under the game screen. This shows how long Chuck can hold his
- breath for underwater. When the face is blue his energy will start to
- go down. Chuck can take a breath of air by popping his head out of the
- water.
