"For though he was gentle and kind, it was Quasimodo's crime to have been born hideously deformed. But one day his heart would prove to be a thing of rare beauty. She was Esmerelda. The victim of a coward's jealous rage, she is unjustly convicted of a crime she didn't commit. Her sentence is death by hanging. Only one man can save her --Quasimodo." Victor Hugo

Hunchy II is a sequel to the 1982 classic arcade game Hunch Back which is loosely based on the novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1831) by Victor Hugo. Your task is to guide the hunchbacked Quasimodo in his quest to rescue the gypsy girl Esmeralda from the cathedral of Notre Dame. To succeed, you must collect all of the bells in each cathedral room. You must also avoid any incoming missiles and the fearsome cathedral guards. Hunchy II contains 14 levels of increasing difficulty.

Hunchy II features an original label by Justin Hairgrove and manual by Tony Morse.

I bought Hunchy 2 a number of years ago and it's still in my regular rotation. I make some progress every time I play but I've never conquered all of the stages. Lots of replay value in this one. I like the way the control feels and the bullets/enemies keep things from getting stale. Fun puzzle/platformer!

I played this for the first time when I read that it could be removed from the store. I found it on my PSP and modded Xbox and decided to give it a go.

This game reminds me of Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg and similar early platformers. It's also great to see that it holds its own against those classics very well indeed.

Graphically tidy, although I found it can be confusing where you can jump and fall through at the start. The controls respond perfectly and feel great as Hunchy moves around the screen. Soundwise, it is pretty standard fare but suits the onscreen action well.

Plenty of screens to get through coupled with a decent challenge, and all in just 4k. Lovely.

A spiffing 4 ou of 5!

Hunchy II is a GREAT game on the VCS. The graphics aren\'t too special and the sound is just OK but the gameplay is terrific. It\'s sort of a simplified Jumpman but don\'t let the simplified fool you. The levels get pretty difficult to puzzle out and those bullets start flying very quick.At $20 this is a STEAL. Hunchy II is more fun than a large portion of the original library of the VCS. I think in a few more rounds it might take over as my favorite VCS homebrew.The label and manual are nicely done too. They have a unique style that fits the game istelf well.

This is one of the best VCS games I\'ve ever played. One thing\'s for sure, it shows how lazy or under-funded programmers were on games like Donkey Kong for the 2600. This game is so much better than those that it\'s sick. If you own something that plays VCS carts, you owe it to yourself to buy this game.

Wow, this game is awesome! I\'ve been hooked on platform games since back in the day with Donkey Kong and Loderunner. Hunchy II doesn\'t have the flashiest graphics in town, but the gameplay is GREAT. The level design is ingenious and the strategic elements really put it over the top. You really have to think these screens out! The control is crisp and clean, and the action is, shall we say, TENSE! I\'ve played this game for 2 months pretty hard and I JUST NOW finished it. It even has an ending sequence! I rate this up there with the best of the Atari classics. I hope there\'s a Hunchy III, the author could keep everything the same and just design new levels. I would be all over it!
