Platformers have gone a long way since 1983

The Good
Some of the bells make sounds when you touch them. It's a competent platformer for 1983.

The Bad
Quasimodo has the strangest walking animation I've ever seen. The game is very strict on your jumps being precise when trying to get on a rope and jump over the guards with lances. There are sections where arrows and fireballs are shot at the left side of the screen just before Quasimodo gets hit which makes it almost impossible to dodge right away.

The Bottom Line
I'm probably spoiled by playing much better platformers released after this game, so I can understand why people have fond memories of playing this when it came out.
