Description	Andrew writes:- Hi, As promised, and to mark the 25th Anniversary of the Timex screen mode, I'm submitting: HunchBack '08 to the CSSCGC. This was originally written by me in 1984 when I was off sick from school. Clearly I was very ill. Enter to START, Q=LEFT, P=RIGHT, SPACE=JUMP. Previously entered as HunchBack '84 in CSSCGC99 for the Spectrum 48K. This one requires a Timex TC2048. No idea if it works on any emulators besides FUSE but it should work on anything that emulates a TC2048. Cheers! -Andrew
Comments	Ahh, the CGC '99 - a vintage year. The original version of this game was developed for that one. We are now of course all a little older, a little wiser - but a damn sight more colo(u)rful. As The Who might have sung - hope I die before I use per-line?colour attributes. But not in this case?as the intro screen will surely blow your tights?off. The game itself is a typical hunchback affair, yet no worse than a similar Dragon 32 cartridge a firend of mine once paid good money for. Enjoy this all ye followers of the Timex- for this is your reward for possessing extra graphics capabilities. The reason, no-one else out there wrote anything else for it - apart from some BASIC extensions. (Although, seriously, I bet they did, but I don't know of it - I never did spy through the keyhole of the Timex scene)
