This game launched the deformed bellringer as a computer hero but since those early days it's lost some of its sparkle.

You control Quasimodo who is at the left hand end of a castle rampart and has to cross 15 stages of it to rescue his sweetheart Esmerelda. Each stage consists of one or more gaps that have to be crossed by jumping or swinging on ropes. At the end of each stage, you ring a bell and five bells without a death brings a healthy bonus.

There are many dangers along the way including soldiers with spears, fireballs, arrows and a knight who climbs the wall on each screen as a time limit.

P. Compulsive urge to get just one more screen further.

N. Not much variety in the basic screen.
N. The graphics and sound are simple.
