II. INTRO
#############################################################################
The ever-popular comic strip "BC" has been around for years. Back in the days
of the ColecoVision, they created a game based around BC's main character. What
was he doing, you ask? Simple- he was on a quest for tires. This was shown by
having him ride along indefinitely, dodging obstacles as he trundled along. 

The game was awesome and ripe for a sequel. This time, the game is more complex,
but basically the same; you still get to ride along on a tire, but now you can 
roll forward and backward as well as moving side to side. Your goal? Clam
collection- you're trying to collect more clams than Grog, who is seeking his
revenge against you by collecting clams of his own.

Simple story, straightforward gameplay. I hope you enjoy!

IV. HOW TO PLAY
#############################################################################
You start out on the mountainside, and you maneuver around the mountain. You can
also manuever into a cave. Doing so changes the viewpoint to first-person, and
you have a flashlight view and you have to try and collect clams while dodging
the rocks on the ground. 

If you run your character into the wall or run off the cliff, you lose a tire. 
Hitting rocks while on the cliffside or in the cave destroys one, too. You've 
got 4 tires at the start, so use 'em wisely. Every time you lose a tire, you 
have to start at the beginning again, and since this is a game of collection, 
it can seriously hinder your ability to maintain a lead.

A lead in what, you may ask. As I've hinted at, you're collecting clams. There
are two types of clams on the ground- gray and white. Gray clams are worth 1
point, and white clams are worth 5. Your goal is to collect enough clams to 
cross the bridge at the top. Doing so will grant you access to the next level.
Grog is collecting clams the same as you, so you have to be quick or he'll take
them all before you can get to them.

As the levels progress, more obstacles get in your way. For example, in level
2, green worms will appear and eat your tire if you don't dodge them. It gets
progressively more difficult through each level with more and more obstacles to
contend with each time.

V. FAQ
#############################################################################

Q. I don't understand the map- it's a piece of junk. What are the symbols?

A. The mountainside is the yellow, the paths are brown. The brown "bumps" on the
   mountainside are the cave entrances. Your spot is marked by a black dot 
   surrounded by a black square while Grog is marked by a blue dot surrounded by
   a blue circle.

~~~~

Q. What happens when Grog and I run into each other? 

A. This one's pretty much explained when it happens in the game- Grog spots you,
   roars at you, and you lose automatically, regardless of how many lives you 
   have left. He's faster than you, so if you see his icon coming toward you
   on the map, go into the nearest cave, pronto. If you exit a cave near him, 
   you WILL die. Not really fair, since you can't predict when he'll be next to 
   the cave, but that's the joys of an older game.

~~~~

Q. If your goal is to get to the end of the map with enough clams, then why does
   Grog have a score?

A. I don't know at this point; my guess is so that the people who have played 
   the level MANY times over know where Grog is on the map. The game does not
   randomize very well- Grog's path and the placement of obstacles and clams is
   completely fixed so that if you know the level well enough, his score can 
   tune you in to when you need to go through the cave.
