Hunchback (video game)

Hunchback (shown as Hunch Back on the title screen) is video game developed by Century Electronics and published in arcades in 1983.

Set on top of a castle wall, the player must guide the Hunchback from left to right while avoiding obstacles on a series of non-scrolling screens.

To impose a time limit on each screen a knight climbs the wall, costing the player a life should he reach the top.

A deadline to present the game at an industry show meant there was no time to rework the graphics, so the main character remained in a Lincoln green costume.

[4][1] Ocean Software also licensed the game,[4] publishing ports for the Commodore 64, Oric, and ZX Spectrum in late 1983,[5] with versions for the Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC, VIC-20, Dragon 32 and MSX released later.
