Clint, it's incredible how you got me to keep on rewatching your videos again and again. I really hope your channel continues growing, because I consider you as the better game reviewer in all the Internet. Stay as awesome as always ;)
Oh wow... Parallax scrolling! And 3 layers of that in spots! Sure it isn't overlapping, and the parallax stops when the trees come in, but a game this old just having it at all is already very positive thing in my opinion ^^
Ruko Michiharu These old machines were all scanline based. It's one layer that's split into 3 rectangles, having the lines scroll with a different offset with fine control. Many NES and SMS/GG games do the same thing. Actually, that's how a lot of games did parallax.
Blastfrog I know, I can tell it's a single layer because it doesn't overlap. There are actually many more ways to do parallax scrolling on a single BG layer but that depends very much on the system it's on and how good are its sprite capabilities, the best examples of parallax scrolling on a single BG layer come from the Turbografx 16, the system had amazing sprite-capabilities, and could use sprites rendered behind the single BG layer to fake a second overlapping layer, and it also had enough ram to animate several background tiles to make it look like overlapping parallax scrolling... But dividing the single BG layer in several horizontal parts and moving each at a different speed is the most common way of making it, and that's how this game, and most of the NES, SMS and GG games that did parallax scrolling did it...
Ruko Michiharu There are actually some Atari 2600 games with parallax. Some of the examples are debatable due to their methods of achieving it, but the game Jungle Hunt definitely has it in the form of some treetop leaves and such that scroll when you move. Also worth mentioning is that the arcade game Moon Patrol is pretty much considered to have the first big parallax in a video game, and that was in 1982. Old systems are a lot more capable than people think sometimes. also, forgive me if I sound stupid about the tech, I'm not much of a hardware guy.
Nesbro Ooh that's pretty interesting! I really can't imagine horizontal parallax scrolling on the Atari (since first of all it had no natural horizontal scrolling support, but it could be pulled off with some programming tricks, and an extremely low horizontal resolution) I'm much more familiar with the 3rd gen and 4th gen systems, and Parallax Scrolling only became a thing you'd expect to see in games in the 4th generation, so that's why I'm so impressed when I see a system this old doing it ^^ (Although I know plenty of 3rd gen games that did it, but I'm still impressed by them)
Terrific game, very original and full of character, making the most of beautiful graphics, good game design and simple but effective sound effects - the "alarm" when your nemesis was approaching was especially memorable - for years, my siblings and I used it as a private joke to warn each other jokingly of some impending "danger", nuisance, unwanted visit, etc. Brings memories of good times, and even the odd tear... Thanks for the great video!
You should totally do a video on text adventure games. They played a huge role in PC gaming and gaming in general. You could touch on the classics like adventure and the Zork series, Planetfall, and Photopia, but also on the more obscure and really strange ones.
It's cool to see this. My dad lived six miles from where the strip's creator, Johnny Hart, was born. They had a PGA Tour event from 1971 to 2006 and two minor league hockey teams, one from 1973 to 1977 and one from 1997 to 2002, with logos designed by Hart in the Binghamton, New York area.
Both this game and Grog's Revenge were favorites on my C64 growing up. Once you get to Stage 3 of QFT, it gets crazy hard to sync up with that bird that helps you jump the lava.
[Homer Simpson voice] " 'Got lucky' with the Fat Broad...He-he he-he" p.s. not only do you get lucky but you get to go clubbing with her too. RAVE tim....I mean CAVE time!!!
When I was a kid, we had a (probably pirated) copy on a floppy of this game. Interestingly, the game was called "OERM", it lacked the colourful title screen, and to this day I don't know what "OERM" stands for.
I used to play this all the time on my grandpa's C64 when i was a kid. Completely forgot about it until now. Thanks for the memories. (also played space taxi quite a bit as well)
Moon patrol was one of my favorite games in the early 80s so this would have been the best thing ever to my 6-7 year old self. BC was also one of my favorite cartoon books and Christmas specials.
Great review as always. Have you ever tried a game called Unreal World? It's a roguelike survival game in development since 1992, donation-based freeware and easy to get into. It's coming to Steam in near future as well.
When I was a kid I played this, HERO, and Hard Hat Mack over and over and over... When I repurchased a c64 several years ago they were the first games on my list to reown. Or own legit copies of the first time.
Watching this reminded me of a typing game we used to have. I'm pretty sure it was BC but I could be wrong. It's not like we played it to actually learn how to type. >.> And OMG, Leisure Suit Larry! XD One day my mom was starting it up and my sister and I wanted to play. She told us if we could get past the questions we could. Well, we breezed right through those questions and were pretty excited! Then she shut us down. She didn't think we'd be able to answer them and had no intentions of letting us play. :(
I played this for hours and hours as a kid on my Apple IIe and it frustrated me to no end! I wish I had that instruction booklet at the time. It would have saves me a lot of agony.
Ah yes the 'Smurfs', little demons inside our consoles and home computers while playing, now we have Apple, Microsoft & Googlemel 24/7. I just looked up and the Internet only refers to the cute cartoon characters and some 'dining room origin'(probably made up to hide any connections to the demons) but I remember back in the late 80's finding out the name came from demons that were called 'smurfs' and were just made cute and became the 'victims' of human Gargamel. Funny how the Internet can erase, change or block information to change history and origins.
This is the first pirated games I've ever owned. Complete with a spinning "Razor 911" logo on boot. I got an old C64 back when I was 10, in the far back mid 90s! I was unsure why the animation for the logo was animated better then the game, and what the scrolling numbers where all about. Years later I would understand, but to this day it was one of the oddest pirated game I have/had ever seen.
I've really been enjoying your videos. Great commentary man! I loved this game back when it first came out, even though I REALLY sucked at it. I played it more like it was real life and I was actually trying to ride a stone wheel along grass and other various terrains.
I had this back in the day, though being an impoverished Briton, it was on tape. I didn't think it was distributed on cartridge here, though I notice the title screen in the video said 'Software Projects', which was the home of Manic Miner after Matthew Smith left Bug Byte. A curious mix of US and UK, as after all, we'd call it Quest For Tyres if it were a UK strip :)
This was the first game I ever beat I think. I didn't know it was a Sierra game back then, it's strange that for years Sierra was such an important point in my life with my love for Leisure Suit Larry and I didn't know that the first game I probably beat was by them.
Awesome review, I had a cracked version of this game on floppy disk for my C64, and thought it was fun as a kid. Most of the games I had my C64 where copies/cracks. "Don't Copy That Floppy" ;-).
A great game that played a lot on the C-64, it was easy so you actually could reach the end of it compared to many other C-64 games that had too high difficulty.
My family had this for ColecoVision. Such nostalgia! First game I ever beat. Sure it's a simple game, but cut me some slack, I wasn't even in kindergarten yet. =)
hello lgr once again,i have been playing sims 3 non stop ever since my brother let me play his PC and i love that game thanks for reccomending that game!
Lazy Game Reviews The SierraVision might have been before I had a PC. I'll check them out. I just loved going to the mall, Crown Books, B. Dalton, Software, etc., or Egghead.. looking through the boxes, and hoping there would be a new sequel like Space Quest II or King's Quest III... AND that I had enough money to buy it. Somehow my friend and I were even able to buy Leisure Suit Larry 1 at Software, etc. Then when the SCI games were too slow and ugly on my CGA XT, it took me about a year to save up enough to build a 286/16 with VGA and 2MB RAM, piece by piece.
Clint, do you plan to someday cover the 2nd game? "Grog's Revenge" I used to play that on my MSX 1 back in the day, never played this 1st game, but i can tell you the 2nd game has more to it already, not just a Moon Patrol type of a game.
Hey LGR, what do you think of the C64 game, 'Myth: History in the Making'? Gotta love that amazing Myth theme song! A full game review of it would be awesome!
Love this game. I play it on the C64, Atari 800, ColecoVision and MSX. I feel the C64 one is the best out of the lot for both effects and control. I like this game much better than it's sequel.
I played this game quite a bit as a kid, I remember it being very difficult but so were almost all c64 games. Especially since I didn't have manuals for the games and had to guess what to do
Well, this isn't what I was expecting. I'd heard of this game, but I always figured it would be one of those "learn about physics and simple machines" games like the Super Solvers stuff and TIM. Oh well.
You need to do more C64 reviews. There was this oldschool game where you were in a mall playing mini games with neat music? Can't remember what the name of it was...review it! :D
My parents gave away my 2 Commodore 64 computers and an original Commodore 64 CRT monitor plus 2 tape decks and a floppy drive!! Also a large suitcase and a half full of games!!!! And a joystick... 😢 I had about 6 cartridges and they seem to so special to me one of them had four games on it it was mind-blowing how fast they would load😂
Strangely, some of the gameplay is ripped from the arcade game "Jungle Hunt" (or its earlier, less successful counterpart Jungle King, though that's an unlikely possibility). Anyway, good to see LGR covering this game. :-)
I loved this game on the C-64. A similar (but better IMO) sidescroller I enjoyed was called "Snokie". Ever played that one? Something about the huge sprites in both those games was enthralling lol.
Interesting that this appears to be absolutely visually identical to the earlier Atari 8-bit version, despite the C64 having more RAM and allowing slightly more detailed sprites.
This is one of those early PC games that got ported to the Colecovision for some reason. If it was on the MSX, that must have been why, because I've heard that and the Colecovision are pretty similar in hardware and such. BTW, on the topic of early Sierra games, Jawbreaker's pretty worth checking out. It's a rather shameless Pac-Man clone, but it's still a pretty fun game. It's more vertically oriented and speedy than the original.
0:04 _"Well, it's once again time to cover some random game because I ran out of time and didn't feel like doing anything more involved"_ - Wait, are you telling me that you got lazy and decided to do a game review? A Lazy Game Review?
I own this on Colecovision, and looks like the port is pretty faithful to the C64 version. Argh, now I have an urge to pull out the storage bins and dust off my Coleco!
I played WAY too much of this game on my C-64 as a teenager. I recall mine being on a mini-floppy diskette, but I suspect it was shipped in a number of formats.
Hey, I had this game. As always, the Commodore C64 shows its might, with a 3 speed parallax scrolling on the first level : the ground, the clouds, the mountains. Correction : the scrolling in the game "SKRAMBLE" was awful.
Would you happen to have a game where there are endless advancing camels on your C64? A cousin of mine once had that particular game. It's a direct template of that AT-AT Star Wars game.
That's right! I remember now. Gordon Harford my cousin had it on his C64 years ago. I remember the blurb on the back of the cassette box saying "Going to the zoo will never be the same again!" or something like that.
You should really check out, if you've not played it, BC2 - Grog's Revenge - it's a lot more complex than BC QfT - and has a lot more humour - check it out.
Clint, it's incredible how you got me to keep on rewatching your videos again and again. I really hope your channel continues growing, because I consider you as the better game reviewer in all the Internet.
Stay as awesome as always ;)

Thanks for the great video!
I love the face the character makes when he flies or floats over a pit like "your move, Physics!"
It always makes me happy seeing you uploaded something new! Awesome review, LGR!
You should totally do a video on text adventure games. They played a huge role in PC gaming and gaming in general. You could touch on the classics like adventure and the Zork series, Planetfall, and Photopia, but also on the more obscure and really strange ones.
I'm getting some Dino Run vibes from the bird flying you over the pit of lava! This game must have been an inspiration.
It's cool to see this. My dad lived six miles from where the strip's creator, Johnny Hart, was born. They had a PGA Tour event from 1971 to 2006 and two minor league hockey teams, one from 1973 to 1977 and one from 1997 to 2002, with logos designed by Hart in the Binghamton, New York area.
Both this game and Grog's Revenge were favorites on my C64 growing up. Once you get to Stage 3 of QFT, it gets crazy hard to sync up with that bird that helps you jump the lava.
Just FYI, Fat Broad _can_ club you in the first turtle-hopping segment. You may just have gotten lucky.
[Homer Simpson voice] " 'Got lucky' with the Fat Broad...He-he he-he"
p.s. not only do you get lucky but you get to go clubbing with her too. RAVE tim....I mean CAVE time!!!
Also it seemed to predict the segway!
In the same way a caveman inventing the wheel predicted the car!
When I was a kid, we had a (probably pirated) copy on a floppy of this game. Interestingly, the game was called "OERM", it lacked the colourful title screen, and to this day I don't know what "OERM" stands for.
i played this game for hours as a kid. one of my first memory's in gaming. thanks LGR for your awesome reviews! i m absolutly love your videos!
Great review as always! Do you happen to own the sequel, "Grog's Revenge"? That one is an absolute BLAST. :-)
IWALVG Can't say I do! Forgot that one even existed, actually :)
IWALVG Yeah that one is really fun,hope he can get that one.
IWALVG I remember having some fun times playing Grog on the MSX. :-)
I used to play this all the time on my grandpa's C64 when i was a kid. Completely forgot about it until now. Thanks for the memories. (also played space taxi quite a bit as well)
I got a pack back in the day that had this and Grog's Revenge in the same box for the C64. Enjoyed both of them immensely back in the day.
Thankfully it didn't end like Custer's Revenge.... But this and Grog's Revenge were childhood favourites.
You made my day with this c64 game review. So many good memory's with this one. xD
I wouldn't mind to see more reviews like this one :D
Moon patrol was one of my favorite games in the early 80s so this would have been the best thing ever to my 6-7 year old self. BC was also one of my favorite cartoon books and Christmas specials.

Aw man, I remember playing this when I was like, 4 years old.
I played this way back in the 80s. Wasn’t a bad arcade-style game for the Commodore. Mine was on floppy, probably not an original.
Watching this reminded me of a typing game we used to have. I'm pretty sure it was BC but I could be wrong. It's not like we played it to actually learn how to type. >.>

I loved this game as a kid, always got stuck at the turtles parts though :( Only once did i ever make it to the dino cave entrance
Patreon is paying off! Hell yeah!
Ahh, I love your reviews so much! Your duke voice gets me every time:)
Sound effects in the game were also nice and corky - for the time. We DID play it for hours and hours back in '84.
I played this game a lot. But I'm more keen on the sequel.
Johnny Hart was born in my hometown so anything with B.C. is going to grab my interest.
I played this for hours and hours as a kid on my Apple IIe and it frustrated me to no end! I wish I had that instruction booklet at the time. It would have saves me a lot of agony.
Guest for Tires and The Smurfs (Intellivision) were two that I remember to be brutally repetitive, but somehow soothing at the same time.
Ah yes the 'Smurfs', little demons inside our consoles and home computers while playing, now we have Apple, Microsoft & Googlemel 24/7.
I just looked up and the Internet only refers to the cute cartoon characters and some 'dining room origin'(probably made up to hide any connections to the demons) but I remember back in the late 80's finding out the name came from demons that were called 'smurfs' and were just made cute and became the 'victims' of human Gargamel.

When are you going to do the sequel, Grog's Revenge? (If you have it, that is.)
Excellent!! One of my more memorable C64 games that I used to own. I would not be opposed to more excellent reviews of C64 games... :)
Damn I loved this game as a kid. It was my favourite game next to Bangkok Knights back then.

Thx for the Journey into my childhood.
I had this game on floppy back then! Oh the memories!
Nice; I used to love Sierra games but never knew about this one!
Oh man, I played this game on the Colecovision way back in they day.
A great game that played a lot on the C-64, it was easy so you actually could reach the end of it compared to many other C-64 games that had too high difficulty.
My family had this for ColecoVision. Such nostalgia! First game I ever beat. Sure it's a simple game, but cut me some slack, I wasn't even in kindergarten yet. =)
I absolutely loved this game when I was a kid with no better options
I remember this game as 'Oerm' because that was the name of the cracked copy on my tape. Oermens in Dutch = Caveman :-).
hello lgr once again,i have been playing sims 3 non stop ever since my brother let me play his PC and i love that game thanks for reccomending that game!
Loved Quest for tires way back in the day :-)
There will be one day when i make a song including your voice! You sound awesome! - Oh and nice video btw...as always
You should do more c64 stuff. It totally rocked back in the day
I never even heard of this game, but that's how Sierra boxes looked when I started PC gaming. :)
-=tAz=- I'm quite fond of their boxes from that time, and also the "SierraVision" ones.
Lazy Game Reviews The SierraVision might have been before I had a PC. I'll check them out. I just loved going to the mall, Crown Books, B.

Game had a moon patrol/cabbage patch kids and Smurfs from Colecovision and Pitfall feel all rolled into one.

You need to do more C64 reviews. There was this oldschool game where you were in a mall playing mini games with neat music? Can't remember what the name of it was...review it! :D
So this is where the inspiration for the Wario Hop minigame came from.
My parents gave away my 2 Commodore 64 computers and an original Commodore 64 CRT monitor plus 2 tape decks and a floppy drive!! Also a large suitcase and a half full of games!!!! And a joystick... 😢
I had about 6 cartridges and they seem to so special to me one of them had four games on it it was mind-blowing how fast they would load😂
My favourite games were trapdoor and SuperTed❤😂
This game reminds me of a online game titled, "Cheese Quest 3D: The Brother Lady Saga."
I loved this game on the Colecovision.
I played the ColecoVision version quite a bit back in the day!
Strangely, some of the gameplay is ripped from the arcade game "Jungle Hunt" (or its earlier, less successful counterpart Jungle King, though that's an unlikely possibility). Anyway, good to see LGR covering this game. :-)
Ahhh my fix for lgr filled yet again.
Keep it going.
I loved this game on the C-64. A similar (but better IMO) sidescroller I enjoyed was called "Snokie". Ever played that one? Something about the huge sprites in both those games was enthralling lol.

The artwork reminds me of B.C. Racers
Do you have the PC port of Mega Man Legends? Awesome review. by the way.
i hope you can find 'stay tooned' it was a really weird 90's pc game that I think is up your ally
I played this quite a lot, played a lot more of Grogs Revenge, somehow I think that was a much better game :)
Great review! :)

I played WAY too much of this game on my C-64 as a teenager. I recall mine being on a mini-floppy diskette, but I suspect it was shipped in a number of formats.

Another great video from a great person! :3
I have the Colecovision version. Pretty cool game!
wait where was the bit where they go on a journey to aquire rubber wheel coverings? this name seems a little misleading.
so what game should I expect to make me a pizza?
I 'd like to see a review of 'Z' if you ever get the chance. That game was so much fun back in the day. Still is.
The RTS game? Second that!
You should really check out, if you've not played it, BC2 - Grog's Revenge - it's a lot more complex than BC QfT - and has a lot more humour - check it out.
Does Clint have any favorite comic strips?
Cracktro music at the end, lol. Another thing I miss from this era.
