Games I Grew Up On: B.C.'s Quest for Tires

I remember playing B.C.'s Quest for Tires on the Apple IIe when I was really little.  I honestly don't remember too much about this game, but after watching a gameplay video (embedded below), there really isn't all that much to remember.  You are a caveman (Thor) who is trying to rescue a girl (his girlfriend the Cute Chick) from a dinosaur.  You ride your stone wheel unicycle with obstacles (such as rocks in the road, ponds filled with turtles, and other cavemen with clubs) that you must jump or duck to avoid.

The thing I do clearly remember is that this was the one game that we could hook up to our portable 16" color TV screen and play in full color.  All our other Apple IIe games were played on the black and green computer screen.  I'm not sure why only this game was playable in color or why we didn't play other games in color, but I do remember learning on my own how to plug in the right cables into the right spots on the TV to get this to work.  So this game was educational for me despite being such a silly game.  I guess on its own merits it does help teach children timing and can be a good way to teach them how hitting the spacebar harder does not make you jump better.
