Playing Hugo

When I was a young boy I remember turning on my Dad's Computer and playing a game Called Hugo. It was a DOS game, a game designed to run on the command prompt on the old MS-DOS operating system.

In the game you would type out commands on the keyboard and Hugo would do what you asked him to do, only if he recognized the command. I loved playing that game because it was so fun. The whole game was like a puzzle. I think the aim of the game was to rescue Penelope from the dungeon under the Evil house.

The game started with Hugo standing in front of a creepy house, you would type out commands to help him get into the house. The Name Hugo has been taken over and used for other computer games. Although I never completed the game I have fond memories of playing it.

Today I am grateful for all the nice memories I have of playing puzzle games as a young boy. They are wonderful.
