The arcade original of this game appeared some years ago so it is a bit dated by today's standards consequently, as no extra work has been done on it, the Amstrad version is showing its age.
Playing Quasimodo (the famous hunchback of Notre Dame) you must progress across the crenellations and battlements to rescue your heart throb, Esmerelda. Guarding the castle are vicious knights with spears, and fireballs and arrows are constantly being thrown at you. The basic screen layout remains the same for each but each screen has either a new hazard or a combination of hazards that appeared in previous screens that make it unique It's very much a 'pattern' game, where to win, you must learn its rhythms.
Graphics and sound are a bit boring, it would have been nice to have a decent tune in the game somewhere. Initially the game is very playable but once you have seen most of the screens interest is soon lost due to the similarity of each sheet. Hunch-back is a reasonable platform-styte jumping game but nothing to shout about.
Overall AMTIX! rating: 45%
