Hunchback

arcade platform game for Commodore 64, 1983

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The task of the hero Quasimodo is to rescue Esmerelda from the castle of
Stronghold. To get there, Quasimodo passes the whole castle first, to then
climb the battlement at the place furthest away. After that he needs to fight
his way back to the castle through a row of switching screens - which shows
that Quasimodo was not one of the brightest. In every screen the player has
to manage simple jump'n run tasks, which sometimes need good timing, as you
are - additionally to the obstacles - shot at with arrows or strange purple
flashing stones from the left and right. As a time limit works a guard, who
slowly climbs the wall and catches Quasimodo, if he should take too long.
