The Hugo Trilogy

I think it was something like an "indie game" of the 90's, it felt amateurish, but in spite of that, it was quite enjoyable! I think anyone who likes EGA "quests" in Sierra style will enjoy these games too. I give it 4 stars just so you would not expect a lot... and then perhaps it will surprise you :)

The Hugo games, while not the most sophisticated adventures- even at the time-are worth playing for their nostalgia value. I remember finding the first one in one of those racks of disks that game stores used to have. I then hunted down all the sequels with a scarily obsessive determination. Anyone that likes typing in old school adventures will get a kick out of them.

SUPERB GRAPHICS!!

this claims to be the trilogy, however while the files seem to be there for hugo 2 and 3, there is no executable, so there is no way to play the second or third game via this download

In 1989, one guy ---with a little help on the graphics side --- could produce an entertaining and commercially viable shareware game. You may need SCUMMVM for play under 64 bit Windows: The Nitemare 3D trilogy used DOOM WADs to construct a more or less family-oriented introduction to the first-person shooter.
