This is a follow up to the very successful Hunchback. I liked this game, from the minute I saw the title screen. Graphics are excellent, and the sound entertaining. It is basically a platform and ropes game, where you have to make your way through the five stages of a bell-tower, avoiding bats, arrows, fire-balls and bouncing cannonballs. There are five stages, each progressively harder, until you finally reach the bells at the top of the tower.

The first screen, for example, is split into five levels, and, with only three lievs, you must collect all the bells on each level before you can climb, using a rope, to the next level. The game is played with joystick or keyboard, and it is relatively easy to control Quasimodo using left, right and fire - or jump - on the joystick.

The game contains a keyboard option, allowing you to redefine the keys to suit yourself. You need a joystick to get the most out of this game. Successful completion of each screen generates a handsome bonus and extra lives. If your score is high enough there is, of course, a hall of fame to record your achievement!

An excellent game, involving an increasing degree of challenge, that should provide you with hours of fun. Well worth the cost.
