Playing B.C. II: Grog's Revenge on MSX for the first time. I've played it to bits on the C64, but this is my first go at the MSX version. I saw Steve Benway playing it and, knowing my C64 video wasn't particularly great quality, I had to give it another go. And seeing as Steve's just uploaded a video of BC's quest for tires on the Colecovision (here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkVNdSzmnIU ), now seems the ideal time to publish this :)

I've not played Quest for tires, though I always wanted to after seeing it advertised by Software Projects on the inside of the Jet set willy cassette inlay. That's more of a Moon Patrol clone though, whereas this was much more complex, so I suspect this is the better of the two, longevity-wise, anyway.

In case you didn't know, B.C. is a is a syndicated American comic strip, which has been running since 1958 -
