INTRODUCTION
Can Thor save Cute Chick from the hungry dinosaur? only you
can help. At first he only has to jump rocks and holes.
Then comes the river. The only way Thor can get across, is
to hop on the turtles' backs. These turtles sometimes get
tired and submerge at the wrong moment, much to Thor's
dismay! If Thor's timing is good. the Dooky Bird will help
him over the lava pit. If he jumps the pit just when Dooky
Bird is overhead, that prehistoric bird will pick him up
and carry him across! Once over the cliff, Thor faces his
most difficult challenge: the volcanic eruption. In addition
to the obstacles on the ground, he is showered with boulders
from the sky. Then once again, Thor must cross the river on
the turtle's backs. If Thor can get past Fat Broad and into
the cave, he has only to go a short distance to go to rescue
Cute Chick. On his way, Thor must duck under stalactites to
avoid crashing. If Thor is lucky, the Dinosaur will be out
wreaking havoc on the countryside. Thor is pretty brave, but
not really a match for him. If Thor does crash, don't worry:
he has four wheels. But true love is calling him, so use all
your agility and cunning to help him rescue Cute Chick!
"Help! Help!" - It's Cute Chick, and she's in trouble. The
dinosaur is holding her captive. If Thor doesn't get to her
in time, the dinosaur may even eat her! Yes, it's your
favourite caveman, Thor, straight from the comic strip B.C.!
