Published in Home Computing Weekly #60

Here's two Extended Basic games for the high scorers among us. Each is loaded separately, Quasimodo requiers the use of a joystick, but Q is for keyboard only.

In Quasimodo, you have five lives with which to survive as many screens as you can - ringing bells all the way! The purpose is to rescue damsels in distress. On each of several screens you run and jump along a brick well. Hazards to avoid are combinations of arrows, cannonballs and holes in the wall. Points are scored for ringing a bell or rescuing a maiden.

Q-Bono is a simple yet addictive game. Your man starts at the top of a pyramid of cubes. Using four arrows to control his diagonal movements, he must travel across all the cubes which changes their colour to cyan. He is pursued by a snake which will take one of his lives if both land on the same cube together. After the first screen, each cube must be visited twice. In subsequent screens, this number increases. If you've a black and white TV, numbers can be shown on the cubes to indicate colour changes.
