B.C.’s Quest for Tires – Why Was Thor Riding a Stone Unicycle on the C64?

Released in 1984 by Sydney Development and published by Sierra On-Line, B. C. ’s Quest for Tires brings Johnny Hart’s famous comic strip to life on the Commodore 64. Players take control of Thor, the Stone Age inventor of the unicycle, as he sets off to rescue his girlfriend Cute Chick from a hungry dinosaur. Gameplay is presented as a side-scrolling platformer, with Thor riding across prehistoric landscapes including meadows, forests, and caves. Players must time jumps and ducking carefully to avoid rocks, logs, branches, and other hazards, while tackling memorable challenges such as crossing rivers on turtles and steering clear of bubbling lava pits. The game’s humour and simplicity are key to its appeal. Its presentation mirrors the comic strip’s playful tone, delivering a lighthearted experience that focuses on rhythm, timing, and obstacle navigation rather than complex mechanics.
