Hunchback

Another example of a well-known pub arcade game being adapted for the C64. In this case, the capabilities of the machine have been used to maximum effect, resulting in an excellent game.

You control Quasimodo (the hunchback) who has to leap along the castle ramparts to rescue Esmerelda, imprisoned in the castle stronghold. To reach the princess Quasimodo must negotiate fifteen screens of fun and excitement, each one more difficult than the last. These include swinging on a rope over a firey pit, dodging arrows and fireballs whilst leaping over trenches containing knights with sharp prodding pikes (ooh! that smarts!) and finally don't forget the bells!

Animation and graphics are superb all the family will thoroughly enjoy Hunchback.
