Originally released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum, this classic arcade-style platformer saw players 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. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version. Gameplay 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. There also exists a 'Baby Bear' mode, which allows you to play without enemies. This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including: Saving/loading the game at any point Support for most modern game controllers Full control remapping Image scaling and smoothing options 

Press reviews: “This game is very enjoyable and addictive. Artic say the graphics are of ‘cartoon quality’ — a statement which turns out to be fairly true! The animation of the bears is incredible, and the sound is very good with well known tunes [...] Excellent.” 90% – Crash! (April 1984) “Bear Bovver has a brilliant new concept and without doubt will get into everybody's top ten games.” 80% – Sinclair User (March 1984)
