Play Hunchback Of Notre Dame, The - Topsy Turvy Games (usa, Europe) Online

I remember picking up The Hunchback of Notre Dame on Game Boy back in 1996. It was a licensed title from Disney, published by Sony Imagesoft for the handheld. During that era, it was common to see movie adaptations on the small screen, and this one aimed to capture the story of Quasimodo.

You control Quasimodo through a series of side scrolling levels set in and around the cathedral. Your main goal is to rescue Esmeralda from the clutches of Claude Frollo. The gameplay involves a lot of jumping across platforms and climbing up ropes or chains. You use your strength to throw apples at guards and other enemies, which is your primary method of combat. The levels are linear but require careful timing to avoid pitfalls and enemy attacks. The pacing is fairly quick, though some jumps can be tricky and lead to repeated attempts. It feels like a straightforward action platformer from that time, capturing the basic movement and conflict of its source material.
