Gameplay

Cheesy is a platform game with 3D and 2.5D gameplay styles where the player controls the titular character, who was imprisoned in a castle by a mad scientist until aliens appear and try to attack him, with the main objective of the game being to take control of Cheesy and escape from the castle, while battling against aliens that come in his way.

Development and release

Cheesy originally started as a project intended for the Atari Jaguar, which was first announced in 1994 as one of the upcoming titles for the Jaguar by Ocean Software and was originally scheduled to be released around the fourth quarter of 1995,[2][3] however, the game was moved to the PlayStation after the system was a commercial and critical failure.[4] Cheesy was first released in Europe by Ocean on November 1996, and was later published in Japan by Jaleco on July 24, 1997.[1]
