B.C. weaves together an alternate reality where man, ape, and dinosaur struggle for dominance amidst a prehistoric setting. In order to ensure survival of the human race, players must locate scattered tribes and unite them under one ruler. Only then will the combined forces be strong enough to mount an assault on the aggressive primates for control over mankind's destiny. While amassing a tribe, players need to fulfill basic needs by securing food, shelter, and water. Dinosaurs and other indigenous life can be hunted down as the tribe gradually learns the skills needed to become civilized. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
