[3] Chuck D. Head, a headless mummy created by Dr. Frank N. Stein and his assistant Igor, is sent to defeat Max D. Cap, a demon from the Underworld who commands an army of monsters to conquer the surface world, splitting the skeleton-shaped cluster of islands the land is on into pieces in the process.

After reforming the islands and defeating Max, Chuck sluggishly returns home, where Stein rewards him by transforming him into a human.

The player controls a living mummy, named Chuck D. Head, through various side-scrolling levels to battle an underworld army led by Max D. Cap.

Some levels require the player to collect a certain item for Dr Frank N. Stein, the mad scientist who created Chuck.

[4] The strip contained a very absurdist and manic sense of humour, making frequent allusions to popular culture, and followed the daily life of Chuck D. Head and the other inhabitants of Castle Frank N. Stein.

The strip would continue to appear in the comic on a semi-regular basis until Issue #132 (June 1998), nearly seven years after the game's release.

Sega Force praised the game's graphics, saying it was "big, bold, colourfully and beautifully animated", while criticizing the gameplay as unoriginal.

[7] Console XS said that Decap Attack is the same game as Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure but with gothic graphics and gory killings.
