Hunchback Remakes

Hunchback is a coin-op game developed by Century Electronics and published in arcades in 1983. The game is loosely based on the 1831 Victor Hugo novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the player controls Quasimodo.

  • The game is a flip-screen platformer, in which you control Quasimodo as he tries to save his lady love named Esmeralda from the prison tower at the top of the castle wall.
  • The goal of each screen is to ring the church bell at the far right while avoiding obstacles on a series of non-scrolling screens.
  • The game features good graphics and sound for its time.
  • The game was licensed by Ocean Software, who published ports for the Commodore 64, Oric, and ZX Spectrum in late 1983, with versions for the Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC, VIC-20, Dragon 32, and MSX released later.
  • The home ports inspired two sequels: Hunchback II: Quasimodo’s Revenge and Hunchback: The Adventure, which were released by Ocean for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
  • The game reached number one in the UK sales charts.
  • The game has been criticized for its repetitive gameplay and lack of variety.
  • The game has been praised for its challenging gameplay and nostalgic value.
  • The game has been cloned and released for 8-bit computers as Quasimodo.
