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]

INTRODUCTION

Hunchy II is a sequel to the 1982 classic arcade game "Hunchback"
which is loosely based on the novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
(1831) by Victor Hugo.

GAME PLAY 

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.
The game contains 14 levels of increasing difficulty.

USING THE JOYSTICK CONTROLLERS

Plug one joystick controller into the LEFT CONTROLLER port.  Hold this
Joystick in the left or right position to move Quasimodo horizontally
across the platforms.  Hold the Joystick in the up or down positions
to ascend and descend the ladders.  Pressing the Joystick fire button
will make Quasimodo jump.

PRACTISE MODE

The game will enter a practise mode with LEFT DIFFICULTY switch in
position A.  In this mode, you can skip a level by pressing the SELECT
button on the console.  The practise mode is disabled by moving the
LEFT DIFFICULTY switch to position B.

SCORING 

Your score is based on the bonus timer; if this timer reaches zero,
you will receive no score for the level.  To maximise your score, you
need to complete each level as quickly as possible.
