About
In this classic arcade-style platformer from 1983, take on the role of Ted the Bear, proud owner of a shiny new Sinclair electric truck - looking to find some batteries to power it. Climb up the building site ladders to find the batteries you seek. Dodge enemies that patrol the catwalks. Drop time bombs to destroy enemies, but be careful - you have a limited supply. Also contains 'Baby Bear' mode, which allows you to play without enemies.
