[edit] Description
Thor, the inventor of the Stone Age unicycle from the comic series "B.C.", has to rescue his girlfriend. He wobbles over meadows and hills, through forests and caves. On the way he has to jump over stones, holes and logs and duck under low hanging branches and stalactites. Betweeen the individual sections there are "end obstacles":
- the crossing of a river using turtles and tricking the man with the club... (see picture)
- the crossing of lava by gripping to a birds feet
- the maximum speed-jump over a river
- the crossing of a river using turtles and tricking the dragon...
- Finding the way into the heart of the girlfriend with the following new start at a higher speed and extra life.
[edit] Design
Spartan comical graphics with a bumpy scrolling and only a minimum of sound do not prevent that you can have some fun with this game...
The scrolling is continuous, the character can only be steered further to the front or to the back. Independently you can also raise or lower the scrolling speed...

[edit] Critics
FXXS: "Nice "roll & jump" for in between with a relatively easy entry difficult level. 7 points."
Rombachs C64 Game Guide: "Mentally retarded Neanderthals armed with clubs need to get outwitted and hits by stones were far from rare in these days. In short, the Stone Age biker has not an easy time and especially not the player. The characters are due to their funny animations suited to cause cheeriness. A versatile and difficult game, where success can only be seen after some practice and trying out. (Voting 2)."
[edit] Miscellaneous
BC's Quest for Tires is based on the comic strip B.C. by Johnny Hart, which appears on a daily basis in US newspapers since 1985.
