Having heard a lot about the game I was eager to get started. When I first tried it I was amazed how difficult it was. The idea is that you, Hunchy, run along the battlements of a castle and attempt to rescue Esmerelda. The obstacles, - but of course, include cannon balls, arrows and anti-social guards.

The keys are simple to learn: left, right and jump, and there is a joystick option which would improve the game. The graphics are excellent, especially the way Hunchy jumps and the guards raise and lower their deadly spears. Sound is not very well used, but is adequate.

I think the game is very testing addition to the most complete collection and is well worth the money, once you have a few hours of practice under your belt.
