One of the video games, from my childhood, that really stand out on the Amiga platform for me is Chuck Rock. This game is a typical side-scrolling platformer. The overall plot isn't that sophisticated. Chuck's wife (or girlfriend) is abducted by an evil doer and Chuck being the cavalier caveman that he is must go rescue her.

Along the road there will be some dinosaurs that help chuck on his noble quest, and some that will impede him by draining him of life. Chuck can attack these bad dinosaurs by either throwing stones at them, or by attacking them with his belly (this approach resorted to a lot of button mashing because I couldn't figure out when to press the button to attack and not be hit back).

I think the thing that really comes to mind when I think of Chuck Rock is not the game itself, but rather the introduction to the game. It was a pretty cool intro! (see video).
