Hunchback Olympic
Seatongrove UK, Ltd. • 1984
Also known as: Herbie at the Olympics


Hunchback Olympic is a two-player sports game released in 1984 by Seatongrove UK, Ltd. Built on Century CVS hardware, this unusual title places the character from "Hunchback" into an Olympic setting. Players control their chosen athlete and compete across a series of track and field events, utilizing an eight-way joystick and two buttons for each player to navigate and perform actions within each competition. The game presents a variety of athletic challenges, requiring players to time jumps, throws, and sprints effectively against their opponent. While originally released as a standalone arcade title, it was also distributed as a conversion kit under the alternate name "Herbie at the Olympics." This allowed existing arcade cabinets to be updated with new artwork and software. Ultimately, Hunchback Olympic provides a lighthearted, competitive experience for two players seeking an unconventional take on classic Olympic sports.
