B.C. Bill – The C64 Game Voted “Most Sexist” of 1984

Released in 1984 by Creative Technology Group and published by Imagine Software for the Commodore 64, B. C. Bill is a quirky prehistoric action game that blends arcade gameplay with light survival management. You take on the role of Bill, a caveman determined to build and protect his growing family in a dangerous stone-age world. Gameplay revolves around hunting animals for food, stunning cavewomen to bring back to your cave, and defending your home from roaming dinosaurs. Armed with only a club, Bill must carefully balance exploration, combat, and resource gathering to keep his family alive. A distinctive feature is the changing seasonal cycle, which affects food supplies and family survival. Poor planning can lead to starvation, while successful hunts and rescues help expand your tribe. This adds a surprising strategic layer beneath the game’s humorous exterior.
