The Hugo Trilogy

I played all 3 of these games when I was younger and had a huge impact on me as a kid. The game that I was hoping to see here was the FPS variation of the first game called Nightmare 3-D where you play as Hugo trying to rescue Penelope from a big House of Horrors theme like the first game has. While these 3 games are classics, I would love to see Nightmare 3-D starring Hugo and Penelope on here as well! I highly recommend looking into it if you haven't heard of it! 5/5 Stars for all titles!

They're...not very good. Just being straight up with you. They're archaic, brutal adventure games with text input, lacking the polish of similar early Sierra games. Do they hold a special place in my heart? Hell yes. When I was a kid I was enamored with Hugo because I didn't have a computer at the time. These kinds of games were totally foreign to me, and exciting, and the only way I could play them was going to my neighbor's house across the street. Would I recommend them to someone now? Of course not! Come on, people. If you're going to recommend an old school text-based adventure game, recommend Space Quest, Police Quest, Kings Quest, Quest For Glory, Leisure Suit Larry, etc. instead. Don't let the nostalgia blind you into thinking these are great games.

As people may have noticed when hitting the play button for Hugo, it launches the first game. There is no pop-up that allows you to choose your executables. To play Hugo 2 or 3 Follow steps below. 1 - Click on The Hugo Trilogy in your GOG installed Library. 2 - At the top of the GOG client, you will see [Overview, My Progress, Extras] [Play] [More] 3 - Click on [More] 4 - Hover over [Additional executables >] 5 - Select Hugo 2 or 3 or the hint booklets. Enjoy. Games are a classic, used to play these back in the 90's, they are a lot shorter than I remembered lol.

While they're very simple in terms of graphics and gameplay, these games have a charm of their own. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for something challenging. I'd say even a kid has a good chance of beating these games. But if you want a light experience or want to show kids what classic adventure gaming was like without giving them something impossible to solve, I'd say go ahead and buy this.
