About this game

B.C. Bill is an action, arcade, and platform game created by Marc Dawson, also known as Marc Wilding, and published by Imagine Software in 1984.

Players guide caveman B.C. Bill as he attempts to build a family. Armed with a club, Bill can stun or kill roaming creatures, including cavewomen, edible animals, and dinosaurs. Cavewomen can be taken back to the cave as wives, while food can be roasted over a fire and collected to feed the growing family.

Dinosaurs are dangerous predators that can eat potential wives and food, and kill Bill on contact. Bill must also avoid burning on the fire, losing too many wives, or starving when he cannot feed his family.
