Synopsis

Victor Hugo could never have expected his creation Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, to run an obstacle course as laid out in this game, dodging fireballs and arrows while leaping over pits and pikemen, sometimes with the aid of a swinging bell-rope pull, in the hopes of rescuing his beloved Esmeralda from the upper tower – while being pursued slowly but steadily through the parapets of the castle by an invincible knight in full armor. Once you master an individual obstacle, the game begins throwing them at you in tandem, until near the end you're tracking the swing of the rope, the thrust of the spear, the approach of the arrow, and the advance of the knight all simultaneously. Succeed, against all odds, and you can start again, but faster! Even an able-bodied protagonist would have difficulty juggling all these threats, but the player must successfully control a disabled person.
