In Chubby Cherub for the NES you play a naked baby with wings. You throw hearts at dogs and eat lollipops.
Q-taro in Chubby Cherub
Apparently, the original Japanese game was based on a ghost character Q-taro from a manga called Obake no Q-taro. Of course, to cater to the American audience, this game was taken apart and renamed. As Chubby Cherub you have the task to rescue your 12 kidnapped friends in 12 different levels.
Fly little wings, fly
You spend most of your time flying around the screens trying to get from point A to point B. Dodge enemies and gather food to keep flying. Your flight meter sits at the top of your screen, which, as you'd expect, will decrease the longer you fly around. You can of course run around, but then you are more vulnerable to enemy attacks.
In search of food
You can restore your Flight Knife by eating certain types of food. Some foods give you the ability to fire things from your mouth, which you use to kill vicious dogs and doves that attack you.
Conclusion
The graphics in the game leave a lot to be desired. The game itself brings no innovation. The levels seem boring and drag on. The controls will drive you nuts. You don't even want to talk about the sound. For anyone considering it, stay away from this game.
