Cheesy

Cheesy is a platform game developed by British studio CTA Developments and published by Ocean Software for the PlayStation, released in Europe in 1996. Players guide an anthropomorphic mouse named Cheesy through 24 levels of a monster-infested castle, collecting ingredients for a teleportation spell to escape the clutches of the mad scientist Doctor Chem.

The database currently catalogues one PAL variant, an Original release distributed across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Netherlands, dated 15 November 1996. This single pressing is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with no hologram on the case and contains a single disc with English and French language support. No loose paperwork or bundled demos are documented.

Cheesy received generally poor reviews upon release, but as a British-developed Ocean Software title from the mid-1990s it holds a certain nostalgia among collectors of the era’s more overlooked platformers. Its single PAL variant makes it a straightforward find.
