What if they lived sort of in the general area but didn't quite hear of him? What about the hundreds of thousands that lived and died and never heard of him at all before he came, during or for a short time afterward?
Who and what will they be judged on?

Jesus said that those who deny Him, He will deny before the Father and Holy Angels.
Those who haven't heard of Him, will be judged according to conscience and land laws.

I believe that we are judged by the Ten commandments..they have been God's Law all along...even for those who never heard of Jesus.

Peace be with you,
GOD will judge you based on your intentions, actions, thoughts, etc...based on what you know. It is not possible to be judged on something you had no knolwedge of unless you rejected it openly and blindly by not learning first. You can not judge a book by its cover, you must learn and then decide.
3:106 on the Day [of judgment] when some faces will shine [with happiness] and some faces will be dark [with grief]. And as for those with faces darkened, [they shall be told:] "Did you deny the truth after having attained to faith? Taste, then, this suffering for having denied the truth!"
4:172 Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself:
6:114 [say thou:] "Am I, then, to look unto anyone but God for judgment as to what is right and wrong], when it is He who has bestowed upon you from on high this divine writ, clearly spelling out the truth?" And those unto whom We have vouchsafed revelation aforetime know that this one, too, has been bestowed from on high, step by step, by thy Sustainer. Be not, then, among the doubters-

Good question! In the 4 gospels in the New Testament it was recorded that Jesus said during the crucifiction "Please forgive them Father for they not know what they do.

Read this ; it means EXACTLY what it says.
Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
