BC's Quest For Tires

Poor cute chick is under threat of extinction from a giant dinosaur and you must save her.

Taking your favourite stone wheel you bounce across the prehistoric landscape jumping rocks and holes and ducking under trees. The next task is to cross the river via turtleback.

You will need the Dooky Bird for your next test - the lava pit. Cling on to its tail and you'll sail across.

The trail continues with more stones and holes. If you crash into obstacles the stone wheel will flip from under you and bash your brains out in true comic book style. When you eventually arrive at the cave where Cute is held prisoner your joystick hand will be at dropping point.

Although the title has little relevance to the game - other than the fact that it is the name of one of the US BC cartoons - and the graphics are nothing to write home about, BC has me hooked. I find his on-screen antics very addictive.
