Play Chester Cheetah Online

Chester Cheetah was a 1992 release for the Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Drive in some regions, developed by Kaneko. It arrived during a period when licensed platformers were common, and this one was based on the Cheetos mascot. The game fits right into that early 90s library where you expected to see familiar characters from other media making the jump to video games.

You control Chester Cheetah himself, running and jumping through a series of side scrolling levels. The main goal is simply to reach the end of each stage, navigating past enemies and obstacles. A couple of his signature moves include a tail spin attack to defeat foes and the ability to climb certain walls, which adds a bit of vertical exploration. The game moves at a fast pace, and the difficulty can be unforgiving with precise platforming required. Playing it feels like a quick, challenging dash through a brightly colored world.
