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. 

...Yeah, I dont' really get it, either. BC was never about finding tires... But
hey, whatever. In order to get tires, BC has to travel across the land, dodging
all obstacles in his way. Rocks, Trees, Dinosaurs, even what appears to be your
wife. You risk it all for your tires.

IV. HOW TO PLAY
#############################################################################
After you've picked your difficulty, you begin. It's sidescrolling, and your
job is to get from point A to point B. In the process, you dodge obstacles. 
Your speed is displayed at the bottom, starting at 10. You can increase and
decrease the speed as much as you want to. The advantage to a slow speed is that
you're less inclined to hit an obstacle and lose a life. The disadvantages are
that you get less points per obstacle, and it is godawfully slow.

Every obstacle you dodge is worth a given number of points based on your speed.
If you're going 10-29, you'll get 10 points. 30-49 gives 20 points. 50-69 gives
40, and so on. Every twenty doubles your point value. Just don't sacrifice
your life to get more points! 
There are special obstacles now and then- special jumps. Completing each of 
those will also earn you 200 points.

The obstacles are incredibly varied- first you dodge stationary objects, and
then you move on to objects that are moving that you dodge by moving forward or
backward, and then others that you have to move forward AND jump/duck. There are
far too many to list.

Difficulties add little variation. With each new difficutly, more obstacles are
added. There's no extra points given for being at a higher difficulty beyond the
fact that there are more obstacles in each level, therefore more to dodge, and
therefore being worth more points overall.

Two player game takes turns. It's a challenge to get the best score.

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

Q. So it's just a speed up/slow down game?

A. Not exactly. You can move forward and backward, too. While that's completely
   unnecessary in the early levels, later on it becomes a necessity to avoid 
   some of the hazards.

~~~~

Q. So where do the tires come in?  

A. Finish the game and find out! You're not collecting any tires during your
   runs of the levels, so you'll just have to finish it to figure out why it's
   the quest for tires.
