B.C.'s Quest for Tires

B.C.'s Quest for Tires, developed by Sydney Development and published by Sierra On-Line for the ColecoVision home gaming console, is a side-scrolling action game based on the popular B.C. comic strip by Johnny Hart.

Released during the golden age of home console gaming, this title delivers a unique blend of humor, timing, and reflex-based gameplay.

Players take on the role of Thor, a caveman hero who must ride his stone wheel across a prehistoric landscape to rescue Cute Chick, who has been kidnapped by a dinosaur. The journey is filled with hazards, requiring Thor to skillfully jump or duck to avoid rocks, rivers, trees, cliffs, lava pits, and the formidable Fat Broad. Each obstacle presents its own timing challenge, and players must be precise—ducking too soon can result in a loss, as the character continues to bounce.

Drawing gameplay inspiration from classics like Moon Patrol, B.C.'s Quest for Tires offers continuous side-scrolling action with increasing difficulty and cartoon-style animation that reflects the comic strip’s original charm. Its combination of character-driven storytelling and reflex-based gameplay helped it stand out on the ColecoVision platform.

Whether you're a fan of comic adaptations, vintage side-scrollers, or unique titles from the early 1980s console era, B.C.'s Quest for Tires remains a notable entry in the ColecoVision library, blending humor and challenge in equal measure.
