Based on the 1996 animated film, Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame eschews the standard 2D platform format of most movie-based Game Boy titles and instead offers "5 Foolishly Fun Topsy Turvy Games." Choose from Chiseler, Djali Bowling, Catch the Fool, Upsy Daisy, and Picture Puzzle.

Chiseler is basically an upside down version of Breakout. After releasing a marble pigeon, you maneuver a paddle horizontally across the top of the screen in order deflect the bouncing pigeon into three different sizes of stones blocking a "Topsy Turvy" picture. There are 100 levels, each with a different layout of bricks. If you hit a pie, it will release a flock of birds that destroy most of the bricks in their path (some of the stones are indestructible). A password feature is available for saving your progress.

In Djali Bowling, Djali moves automatically across the lane, and it is your job to stop him at the desired position, put spin on the ball, activate the power meter, then stop the meter at the desired speed, and watch the ball go. Unlike real bowling, which has ten pins, this game has just six.

Catch the Fool puts you in the role of the kind-hearted Clopin. Outfitted with a trampoline and a speed boost meter, your job is to run back and forth beneath a building and catch fools as they are dropped from windows. In each of the game's 50 levels, you must save a specified number of fools within the allotted time limit, or your game will end. Sometimes the people will throw clocks, which increase your time, and arrows, which represent bonus points. However, watch out for fool's gold; it will only slow you down.

Your objective in Upsy Daisy is to pop your opponent's balloons before they pop yours. After choosing one of four available characters, you will find yourself and your computer-controlled opponent floating in the air above five smokestacks. Take advantage of updrafts to get yourself in position to execute an attack or spin move on your opponent. You can avoid or defend yourself against opponent attacks, and you should watch out for pigeons.

Picture Puzzle lets you put together eight different puzzles, including a picture of the gypsy Esmeralda. Each puzzle consists of eight square pieces and one blank space on a nine-square grid. Using a cursor in conjunction with the blank space, you must maneuver the pieces around the board and slide them into place. You should try to solve the puzzle before the timer runs out. If you get frustrated, you can press 'A' for a reminder of what the completed puzzle looks like, or Select for the computer to solve the puzzle for you.

If you reach a certain standard in any of the five games, you will be rewarded with a ticket that allows admission to the Funfair. Attain a ticket for all five events to play the Funfair's wheel of fortune.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
