This 16-color, parser based adventure created by one guy, David Gray,
starts when your girlfriend Penelope is missing. She was last seen in a house
where she went babysitting. That's where you start out as Hugo, in the House of
Horrors. The inhabitants have captured your girlfriend in here, as you'll find
out, and it's up to you to rescue her. It is here that you'll meet some characters
that'll reappear in the other games in the trilogy. It's pretty fun in the style of
early Sierra graphic adventures. Initially released as shareware, "the Hugo trilogy"
enhanced versions were upgraded on 10/9/1995 by the original developer so that they will
now run in Windows. Unlike the original DOS version text commands, the Windows
version features an intuitive point & click mouse interface, toolbar, status bar,
MIDI background music and digital sound effects (with a sound card) and complete
online help and hints for every puzzle. A 2001 fan-made remake was done with AGS by
Spyros but was later pulled. |
