Hunchback description
Norwegian arcade game based on the novel of Victor Hugo "Notre Dame Cathedral" which we play for Quasimodo. The game was released on a sufficiently large number of platforms, however, under DOS was ported from something very old much later than the original year of release and very badly, unfortunately.
The story here is that the "explanation" of the novel: Quasimodo needs to free Esmeralda from prison in the tower, for which he will have to overcome a lot of the most incredible obstacles, jump over the pit with sticks, dodging flying arrows and fireballs, to fight with the soldiers, climb the vines and the swaying bell-rope, and do many other things. And as soon as you would like to be able to learn control of the hero (very hard I must say!) in one situation, immediately there is another, and then they are combined, - that is, the game is real hardcore in its purest form (imagine a situation when you are swinging on the rope, below – stakes, around, arrows fly, and the top – a soldier with a sword).
Graphically the game looks, as has been said, not really, but on the picture then completely forget very quickly because it becomes difficult to survive after a few minutes after the start of the game - but exciting. If you like truly rare and incredibly challenging platformer to play definitely worth it.
I'll need to jump these guys while still avoiding jumping into the fireball. I need to jump the pits and arrows.
