I played this constantly as a kid. I know I beat i exactly one time. Never realized the whole thing was 3 minutes long. I probably logged days trying to get through it.
Argh, this game cost me and my mom & dad many hours of grief back in the 80's. I think the only game my mom ever got hooked on (and pissed off about!). We never did get past that second waterhole with the curvy hill, so good to see a walkthrough
2:37 - This was the part I could never get past. I tried jumping in every way I could think of. I played so much I think I tried every key on the keyboard. Nothing ever worked. I never knew what to do. Never got past this water.
The very first game I played on my friends computer... never saw the ending, but we tried hard for long time. Almost 30 years later, Im still playing :)
@jaqez You weren't going fast enough. If I remember correctly, you have to hold the button and right to increase your speed, then up to jump right before the water.
Awesome ! One of my early favorites. Need to find a pc emulator and Tom for this. Showed to my kids. They need to know games didn't always look like call of duty.. Nice bit o history.
@wandaslice 1 of mine too. Not only because it was fun, but as a kid I absolutely LOVED the B.C comic. I mean BIG time. I even had 5-6 paper back BC books that I constantly read & take with me everywhere. As a kid I was all about Atari, BC, & "The Hulk" (TV show, comics, toys). Today, BC is OK, still really like The Hulk, but absolutely love, with all my heart & soul, vintage/classic, retro gaming! I used to collect consoles/carts, but now only emulators/ROMs. It's what i live for!
@ 2:37 - That was the part I was never able to beat as a child. A friend of my father's who had a son a fe years older than me said he knew how to jump that body of water, but I never got him to show me. SINCE THEN I've always wanted t know if it was even possible to do. I've wondered so much about it's possibility that I almost never gave thought to what would even come after it. Now that I've seen, I must ask: HOW DID YOU JUMP IT?!
Goddamn I never got past that ditch on 2:37. I remember trying so many times. Always falled to my doom. Still don't know what I did wrong. I really liked this game though.
I just played this game on my WINvice c64 emulator with my Competition Pro USB retro joystick(an exact replica of the original c64 Competition Pro joystick), and right after the cave scene, you get your girl. This is the complete game. You payed it with the Atari joystick. That made it harder, and it seemed longer. I do have a complete c64 computer with hundreds of games, including this one, I can drag out and play to show you.
compare these to video games now and its funny....but back then there was actually a bigger difference coming from nothing to atari or atari to nintendo or even these games....was in many ways a bigger jump than nintendo to what we have now
You have to speed up to do it after you've jumped the last pothole coming down the hill, so you've got enough momentum to carry you over. I used to play this on my Atari 800, and I think you had to push the joystick to the right and hold the fire button down to increase speed.
Man that computer game is from the era B.C. Yet we used to think they were absoloutely tops. It is a piece of HISTORY that is for sure. Something for us to remember from our Childhoods and for our kids to laugh at. "How lame" they say. Oh but they dont know how exciting these games were in their day. I might be an old fart but I can still say ROCK ON! Oh Yeah.
YUP! Thats it! But this person makes it look much easier than it really was. It was pretty hard! Took me forever to jump on the turtles then avoid that cavelady with the club!
its not the full game! did you finish? man at some points near the end those things are flyin so fast, i finished years ago on commodore 64, probably the first game i ever finished, games never really ended back then. but thats definately not the whole game recorded though. sorry
This was the first game I ever played on my Commodore 64 (while in the gaming halls were running such games like Kung-fu or Donkey Kong). I remember I thought it was very funny and that the graphic was great. Nowadays it seems very poor if compared with today games but ...you know, we were coming from Space Invaders!
I played it when i was a child. I made it to complete the run for only one time. It was a quite hard game. Maybe you should show what happens after the Ending. The game starts again, twice as fast as before. This was really frustrating :D
That's it!!! I used to have a C64, and boy have games come a longggggg way! But you have to love the way programmers made the best of shit technology. Great times.
Um.... that's it? No levels? No stages? No endbosses to beat? Just rolling and jumping, ducking over and under things, and the girl cried help for what?
And now, after decades, I finnaly saw the ending, what a feeling XD
I played this constantly as a kid. I know I beat i exactly one time. Never realized the whole thing was 3 minutes long. I probably logged days trying to get through it.
Yes this game felt like it took forever and was so difficult to beat.
I was under 6-7 years old back in the early 80's. Love It!!!

3:30 - her missing leg is on his face lol
What great memories... as a child it was my favorite game with pitfall and squish 'em. I absolutely loved the C64
He went full Cyril Sneer right before he got the heart!
Amazing. In 2020, people actually ride these things
Yep, this game was boring, ugly, too short and misnamed. So I only played it for about 600 hours. Good old days :)
It wasn't misnamed. The girls name was "Tires".
@@NaptownClassic Well I'd like to pump her tires... Nudge nudge
The Neolithic answer to Moon Patrol.
Ah, I totally forgot about this game.
I loved it when I was a kid.
2:37 - This was the part I could never get past. I tried jumping in every way I could think of. I played so much I think I tried every key on the keyboard. Nothing ever worked. I never knew what to do. Never got past this water.
I never beat this game when I was a kid. But now I am pleased to know that you rescue a one-legged girl with huge cans at the end.
Ha, her other leg was sticking out of his face!
This one will always be my most beloved game :-) !!
I can't remember if I had it on NES or Colecovision but this game was WAY ahead of it's time
The very first game I played on my friends computer... never saw the ending, but we tried hard for long time.
Almost 30 years later, Im still playing :)

Showed to my kids. They need to know games didn't always look like call of duty..
Nice bit o history.
I used to play this a lot back in Germany when I was a kid, but like many, I didn't make it through the end.
WOW ! great to see it , I was like 6-7 years old playing it , so nostalgic ....
i love how at the end the girl's foot is hanging out of his nostril.
Awesome game,brings back a lot of memories from childhood
I have played this 32 year s A go........super!!! Best Times.....
Looks like his girlfriend is missing half her leg. Those were rough times, I tell ya.
@wandaslice 1 of mine too. Not only because it was fun, but as a kid I absolutely LOVED the B.C comic. I mean BIG time.

I used to collect consoles/carts, but now only emulators/ROMs. It's what i live for!
I had no idea that the girl at the end only had one leg.
This game had amazing graphics for it's time .
wow, the game came to mind and googled it...classic game for the C64
I never realized it was Sierra On-Line which made this!
One of my all time favorites!
Love this game. I remember playing this in Grade 3.
The first game I ever loaded and played on my C64 (and it was fun).

You have to go full speed to jump it. You can change your speed by holding the fire button and pressing left or right.
Cada vez que veo una persona andando en la calle sobre una rueda me acuerdo de este juego
Goddamn I never got past that ditch on 2:37. I remember trying so many times. Always falled to my doom. Still don't know what I did wrong. I really liked this game though.
Oh, so that's what the chick looks like we were supposed to be trying to save in this game. Whomever is playing has mad skillz.
That jump after the volcano used to give me so much trouble. I only ever beat this game once.

This game sure felt a lot longer when I played it as a kid... I managed to finish it once though.

i remember this game to be hard as hell... it sometimes took me like 20 minutes just to get over the first ditch.
Ah, I remember this as one of those "This would probably be good, if it wasn't so insanely difficult' C64 games :)
this was my fav game in the 80s
OMG!!! I remember being 3 years old and playing this game! HOLY F***!! It's hilarious FUN!!!
OMG, that game was always a great deal of laughter for me! Nice parallax scrolling and funny ideas ;]
Bought it, played it once on a metallic tray table, a static spark made the cartridge AND my C64 crap out. :-D
the first game that i completly walked through!
back in the days! ;)
Played this on Apple 2GS. It was a little bit better graphics but basic idea was the same
played it a lot through the end - nice game
You have to speed up to do it after you've jumped the last pothole coming down the hill, so you've got enough momentum to carry you over. I used to play this on my Atari 800, and I think you had to push the joystick to the right and hold the fire button down to increase speed.
This was based on a regular cartoon strip that ive not seen in decades. Did the artist pass away?
This wasn't all there was to the game I think once you have got to the end it takes you back to the start again going faster and faster each time .
Great to see this again. I had the Atari 800 version which had different sounds for jumping and ducking, so this video just seems a bit "wrong" :)
One of my first vg... and still great.
First game I ever played on the C64 and I was bowled over.
This game used to piss me off so badly back in the day.
Larry on Wheels is similar to BC's Quest For Tires. What is different is Larry smoking a cigar.
OMG I played this in the early eighties jump we would yell, then swear when it was a duck.
My first game playing...Very nice old times....
takes me back
I have never gotten past the pit of 2:37, what's the secret? And why is it glitching there?
loool! When i was 2-3 years old i played this game sooooo long...ahhahaha "Jump Sucker" Only now i can understand who says the woman lol!
Could it be that leg is sticking in the caveman's nose in the end?
I can't believe I was that close to getting the Cute Chick! I gave up too soon... LOL
Jump Sucker!
Great game, brings back memorys!

CaptainCook1778 and you didn't NEED a 150 page, 25.00 "gaming guide," either! Lol!
My favorite game in the good old days.
Christian Leipold wow, 11 years is the longest-ago post I've ever seen, lol
YUP! Thats it! But this person makes it look much easier than it really was. It was pretty hard! Took me forever to jump on the turtles then avoid that cavelady with the club!
What about BC's quest for tires II? Grog's revenge.
Do you have the manual codes for this ? I need the color codes & don't have them.
its not the full game!
did you finish? man at some points near the end those things are flyin so fast, i finished years ago on commodore 64, probably the first game i ever finished, games never really ended back then. but thats definately not the whole game recorded though.
sorry
is this the guy from grogs revenge.
indeed it is.
@drachenzahne9262 thanks I've been waiting fifteen years for the answer 😆. Just joking. Thanks for your reply 😎
@@Simon0 haha no problem, i have a strange fascination with replying to ancient comments.

The game starts again, twice as fast as before.
This was really frustrating :D
what is the game in the early start? shit I'm searching it for 15 years
My c64 only played BCs in orange and black.
Man I use play this game all the time :)
More then likely the colecovision as there is no NES version of this game
Brilliant oldtimer!
Graphics: 6.5/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Music/FX: 5.5/10
Playbility: 8/10
Thanks for posting!
Are my eyes screwing with me or does this game have parallax scrolling?
remember the dookie bird? :)
I had this game !
god really likes this game
@jaqez
Or more like 20+ years ago :-)
You have to go fast. Press the button and hold forward to speed up.
Wish someone would port it to a flash game or the like
The cartoonist Johnny Hart, died in 2007.
Loved this game as a kid . The C64 seemed to have so many better games than the Tandy TrX 80 we had that came with lame game "mega Bug"
That's it!!! I used to have a C64, and boy have games come a longggggg way!
But you have to love the way programmers made the best of shit technology. Great times.
Dennis Neo it was state of the art in.about 1981, don't forget...and it never crashed, either. Unlike modern computers/websites...
Perfect run!
Rifftrax brought me here
@Eidako
Goddamn, I wish someone gave my that advise 15 years ago :-D
That would've save me a lot of curse words.
Very easy game, but fun.
Surprised to see people saying this is hard. I could play it on autopilot as a kid, easily beating it every time.
no save game ?
Carl Johnson *Pffft!* We thought "pause" and "save game" were for sissies back then! Just hold it! Pee later! :) lol
Now this is interesting...
Why is it called "Quest for Tyres" if the objective is to rescue a woman from a dinosaur?!
I think it's first, a take on the film, "Quest for Fire" - which is about cavemen. Secondly, B.C here rides on a stone tire. I don't know...maybe.
Oh, never heard of that film. Makes sense now.
I had it for coleco
Um.... that's it? No levels? No stages? No endbosses to beat? Just rolling and jumping, ducking over and under things, and the girl cried help for what?
Ken sent me
