I can't post hyperlinks, but you can look it up on Wikipedia

There was a series of video games about a troll named Hugo where you could lead him through various dangerous circumstances

There is a game called Hugo trilogy on GOG but i don't think it's that game looking at the screenshots

I remember when my cousin gave me a copy of one of these games and my dumbass broke it in half while unboxing. I have had remorse about it ever since. That's why i am thankful sites like GOG and Steam exist. Imagine unboxing Cyberpunk 2077 you paid all your savings for... and you break it in half

Point is does anyone here remember that video game or is it only me

I actually still have discs with these games... One day, i will try to install them on the 14-year old laptop my mother uses, maybe they will run there

This Hugo? https://youtu.be/wix8VnRmnik?t=114
I've never played the game on PC, Amiga or PS, but I do remember the German version of the game show on TV that this is apparently based on.

(GOG's forum software is acting up again, so my link does not work the way it should; but you can find it on Wikipedia as well.)

if you watch the whole thing, the PS2 version is mentioned (which is what you likely remember).

Nope. Never owned a PS2, though i did have a PS1 and PS3. I clearly remember borrowing a game featuring that troll from my cousin and breaking it in half


BTW there is actually a mobile game on google app called Hugo Troll Race 2: the daring rail rush. Nice to see the franchise alive

Somehow i imagined it was a different Hugo game. But seeing 'troll' i am guessing i assumed wrong.
I do remember playing this game on PC, during the 90s. There were a few stages (2-3?) where you went up a mountain to rescue your kidnapped family.

I also remember watching the TV show but I'm not sure if the levels were the same.

BTW, community wishlist entry here: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/complete_hugo_bundle Turns out there were several titles in the series.
