Chubby Gristle

Your Sinclair (5 out of 10)

An arid game: dried-up gameplay, desiccated graphics, not one to quench your addictive thirsts.

Computer and Video Games (CVG) (4 out of 10)

With a price tag of nearly nine quid, I'd expect a little more for my money than the archaic and unoriginal platform action on offer here.

ACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment) (357 out of 1000)

Chubby Gristle is amusing and original, but the game style itself is old, and the game hard enough right from the start to put a lot of people off. And twenty or so screens isn't an awful lot for those who stick with it.
