Game memory

When I was a young boy I would play a Ms-Dos game on my Dad's computer called Captain Comic. It was a side-scrolling computer game and you would collect itinerary to enhance your gameplay, there were all sorts of strange creatures in the game and different places behind different doors, I loved to play it because it was as good as games got in those days.

If I made my own computer game I would make a top-down side-scrolling computer game. By top-down, I mean that you are looking down from above the way you do in sim city. But the itinerary panel in the bottom corner would look the same. The panel above would be used to show interaction graphics like if you met a person on the ground, their face would appear where the health and fire panel bar is. The game would be more of a quest or puzzle based game.

I am grateful for my imagination because it comforts me all the time. How wonderful it is to lie down and be absorbed by your imagination instead of by stress and concerns, I  am thankful for these gifts.

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.
