I know how you feel, I used to enjoy playing a computer game called Living Books, and played the Tortoise and the Hare. And then I saw they had one for Green Eggs and Ham on a computer at a library I sometimes go to. I wanted to play it, but the librarian said it was meant for kids and I was too old. If only I was many years younger.
😂😂😂 Yes, that's right. I still remember how people pushed around on their phones 📞. You always heard the Tone of the phone and that they pressed correctly but it did not come right. The moderator then always: oh I'm sorry, unfortunately pressed too late, good luck next time 👋
HoFPG Hall of First Person Games yeah because of the delays of the television transmission and the telephone lines. Today it is even worse because back in the day it was analog now all is broadcasted digitally and processed through digital converters and then to the satellite in the space and back to Earth and when you watch TV through the Internet as example it even gets worse and then there is more delay up to 30 seconds and more ! Tested by myself of watching a live TV show over an Internet stream and then watched it simultaneously over satellite and third method Cable network. Cable network has the longest delay of all of them. Remember when you hear somebody calls in a live TV show and has accidentally or on purpose not turned down the volume of his TV and then you hear the feedback of the caller's TV in the live show? All delayed as hell. So then the moderator yells please turn down the volume of your TV completely otherwise we can not understand you and vice versa!
Also here in Brazil in the mid 90's, this game was known as an interactive TV game (we didn't even think it was a console game), you control Hugo with the 📞 telephone (only those with tone dialing) and being assisted by the presenter. So good childhood memories!
Ah, the memories... I think I only managed to beat this game once back in the day. Then again, I was really young and I mostly tried to fail in order to get those hilarious cutscenes. Well... hilarious at the time at least. Apparentally you could play this on your phone back in the day, but I have no memories of such thing. I'm still happy that I found this video and brought some of those memories back. You just can't have too much nostalgia.
I remember him too. I used to watch him on TV all the time as a little kid. In Croatia, he appeared in virtually every store as part of the mania, be it a snack, a T-shirt, a piggy bank, etc. Same goes for Slovenia, where Hugo was so popular, a well-known pop band known as Čuki composed a ditty about his quest to save his family. Also, I used to play his games on my old PC for fun.

in Vietnam, we remember TV people playing this game, and children love watching it, such memorable days...
I'm utterly susprised to learn this was a PS1 and PC game. In the 90s, there was a tv show where you played the game with your phone, lol. So many good childhood memories. I always wanted to play it, but my parents wouldn't let me 🤣
I had two educational PC games under the Hugo brand, one for geography and one for maths. Both surprisingly fun to play. Was never keen on the PS1 game, though.
I never played the games as a kid, and yet I kind of like him too. I think theres something charming about the art style, cute yet awkward animation, and the various jokes Hugo makes when he messes up. (lol. commented cause I just ended up doing a goofy little attempt to draw him just a while ago today.)
@@tomislavm2055 I just found this game I had forgotten for so many years. I DESPISED Hugo as a child. He creeped me out, his voice was annoying. He seems to not give a shit about his family being kidnapped... Most of all I hated the gameplay. I never beat that first level, lol.
In years of playing hugo, i never understood how that level worked. I mean did we need to press one of the buttons and hoping for luck or there is some rule to follow?
i remeber a tv show on an arabic tv channel in the 90s where you use a phone call to play a Hugo game , by clicking on the phone number buttons to control Hugo .
haha HUGO was very famous in Venezuela too.. In the tv show "Atomico" you supposed to call and then play to win a reward. I was amazed when the game came out for ps1
there was a TV show for kids in Portuguese where kids call and play this game. They just say "up" or "down" or "left" or "right" and if they manage to finish the game, they win prizes if I remember correctly.
1998, my favorite year 🥰 Beautiful memories with this game. I don't know why, but the menu music, when you choose the mission, always makes me want cry.
Hugo the Troll's franchise is from Denmark, but judging by the comments below, it was "imported" by other countries. In 2002, for example, the show was aired in countries like Colombia and Argentina, and the kids of the time were shouting "Press this key" and "press that one!". I remember having the GBC game called Hugo 2 1/2, where there were only six games (snowboarding, scuba-diving, plane, forest, ice cavern, and the wicked chess floor); I had no idea the PSX games had more mini-games, just like the ones seen on TV.
Hugo's voice is fitting in English, however it seems a little too human. I come from Denmark and used to play his games when I was little. The only thing I never liked was some of his death animations. Especially in the forest with the beer trap. That shit traumatized me for a long period.
Ok so i was watching xqc slots stream and there was a slot machine based off hugo. This was a long lost nostalgia that i had to search and boom, this game brought back warmth and nostalgia that was so long ago that i forgot it even existed.
El juego es originario de Dinamarca. Luego fue exportado alrededor de 40 países... Lee los comentarios. Todos cuentan la misma historia , que lo vieron en un show de tv de niños. En diferentes idiomas.
I really vaguely remember these first Hugo games.....one of my cousins had them and I would play them sometimes when visiting their house as well as I remember seeing these being played in some of the video game related TV programs back in 90s. But it does certainly bring back some nostalgic memories, even though I really wasnt that interested in these games :D Just seeing these different levels playing played bring back memories that I just barely remember seeing them being played/playing myself before.
I remember in the early 90s seeing Hugo played over the phone on ITV’s What’s Up, Doc? show! Years later I read Official PlayStation Magazine’s review of the game and they were very negative about it! I didn’t care, I bought the game anyway and I loved it! Still have it somewhere. At least I knew that the games were originally designed to be playable using a telephone keypad!
I really think the witch needs her controller looking at twice she pressed the lightening button and twice it sent boulders, which was clearly the one next to the button she pressed
Oh man when i was a little kid i was playing this game everyday on my moms ps1 but i never beat 1 lv at this game thats the first time i see what happened😭😂
I remember first playing this game when I was visiting my family in Argentina. Hugo seemed to be a popular video character there at the time. Was this game a PAL exclusive?
It's so weird to me that the English version of Hugo just sounds like a regular dude, whereas the Scandinavian versions got the nasally, unhinged troll voice
Can't believe I played this to bits as a tot. Must be the iconic money bags, oh man. Having it lazily dubbed to english did no favors though. But you played it well Matt.
The city in Finland where I happen to live has a video game museum where is the phone version of this game to play (Game audio comes from the phone!) among other games made in Finland. One has to wonder what it did there, since this originates from Denmark... Also, I gots a 100% save file with max possible score on Arcade version with an actual PS1 (SLES-01592 - Tanska/Suomiversio).
huh.. did find it odd to have the 3D graphics at the time (was used to the drawn-only style of the game) -apparently they just direct copied the PS version to PC. (I remember the exact same loading disc. images too.)
You can watch a video of it on youtube if you just look up hugo, it.. looks pretty awful honestly. Someone else in the comments here called it a "scam", and I can definitely see how it would be near impossible to win playing that way. Hell the game was pretty difficult even in-person with direct control and no delay..

This took me years to find, it was merely a tiny fragment of my childhood but I knew this was actually real lol
OMG.... We're the same.. I was searching high and low for this game..
Same with me, though I think on reflection we were better off forgetting it
Where I'm from Hugo was kind of big, there was this really popular gameshow where you would call and play the games by pressing buttons on your phone
same
Im crying :') why did i grow up? I wanna go back those times
I know how you feel, I used to enjoy playing a computer game called Living Books, and played the Tortoise and the Hare. And then I saw they had one for Green Eggs and Ham on a computer at a library I sometimes go to. I wanted to play it, but the librarian said it was meant for kids and I was too old.

Just download PS1 emulator from emulator zone. And Hugo ISO from almost anywhere xD
@Legendary ϟuper ϟaiyan Don't be rude
Those were the best times ever
The Biggest Fujoshi.
Same for me 😔
You are too much nostalgic like me.
I love how the aesthetic is "ugly, dopey-looking humanoid creatures" and they drop this bombshell villain into it
That always ran with us as a TV show. With the phone you had to control the Hugo. Was always fascinated by the animations.
I think it was Hugo 2 that got used for the competition on What's Up Doc? on Saturday mornings.

This.
Of course I eventually owned the game on DOS, so I played it through that way.
Yeah! I Remember that show, that was epic. Today there is nothing like that!
This game was pure nightmare fuel for me
So im not alone....

It was also a thing in Portugal. Was shocked when my parents bought the game for my PS1
Same here in Croatia i thought the tv game wasn't a thing in other cointries now i see i was terribly wrong
Same here in Finland
It was also aired in Argentina. I had never had the chance to find it at a shop, but fortunately I can settle my score via emulation.
Im some arab contry too i remmeber they call 📞 never thought its a ps1 game lol
Is it weird that as a child I was scared of those logos and voices that came before the game intro? 😂
Lol, same
Me too dont worry i was scared to sleep lol
lel to me is different, i always get chills when they start playing
This game haunted me as child man 😂
Hugo, don't look at me, look where you're running!
Ah, the memories... I think I only managed to beat this game once back in the day. Then again, I was really young and I mostly tried to fail in order to get those hilarious cutscenes. Well... hilarious at the time at least.

No, people would call into the TV show and get asked to press keys to control Hugo, but really, it was a scam lol

41:00 Top 10 most hardest bosses of history
whats the logic behind this anyway
In years of playing hugo, i never understood how that level worked. I mean did we need to press one of the buttons and hoping for luck or there is some rule to follow?
I guess the right answer is the quantity of lives
i remeber a tv show on an arabic tv channel in the 90s where you use a phone call to play a Hugo game , by clicking on the phone number buttons to control Hugo .
we had that show here in Brazil too !!
And in croatia
I u hrvatskoj
We had the exact same in Argentina!!
I remember we used to have a clock that we used as a reference to know when the show was going to start lol
In Russia too
@@akdov7253 In France too
haha HUGO was very famous in Venezuela too.. In the tv show "Atomico" you supposed to call and then play to win a reward. I was amazed when the game came out for ps1
How nostalgic, this game had some of the best 2D graphics of it's time, specially the scaling effects.
there was a TV show for kids in Portuguese where kids call and play this game. They just say "up" or "down" or "left" or "right" and if they manage to finish the game, they win prizes if I remember correctly.
Portugal,España,France...You remember good but pressing the keys of the phone 2/8/4/6 for directional and other key to jump or action.
oh yes! yes, you're right.
Ellen Ripley one here in the uk in the mid 90s saturday morning kids show called '8.15 from Manchester'
In Sweden, we also had a show where kids could call and play a Hugo game! But the one I remember was a 3D platformer.
Also in Denmark were the game was made.
I like Hugo the TV Troll a lot and forever, because he talks to me, when I see him on his activties.
1998, my favorite year 🥰
Beautiful memories with this game.
I don't know why, but the menu music, when you choose the mission, always makes me want cry.
Same..
What's that track called? Been looking for it for ages
I remember beautiful days 💔
Yes, I remember this TV show in the 90's when I was a kid.
It creeps me out how Hugo stares at you instead lookin' foward
0_0 while he runs and jumps.......
It's freaky.
One of the finest childhood game.
I really liked Hugo PC games as a child. I never played the at the TV show but I was watching it at weekends.
Omg...I remember seeing this game played on Telemundo when I was a kid!!! The sweet memories
this brings back deep memories

Back when even this type Of simplistic game could entertain for hours without end
OMG nostalgia.
This game..I really wanted this game. Hugo was my childhood after watching it on TG4
So many good memories 😌
Childhood memories the time running to fast 😑
Entre 1999 a 2001 lo daban por CANAL CAPITAL se llamaba FRANJA METRO.
Ok so i was watching xqc slots stream and there was a slot machine based off hugo. This was a long lost nostalgia that i had to search and boom, this game brought back warmth and nostalgia that was so long ago that i forgot it even existed.
How i remember seeing Hugo on TG4. I remember i called into one of the signups and got to play a game of Hugo.
One of the best things to come out of Denmark: A TV-gameshow, where you controlled Hugo with your phone 🇩🇰
i played this as little kid,
NOW IM FUCKING AFRAID OF IT
I remember back then sneaking into living room at midnight playing this game
I remember this character on a Chilean TV show.

yep, in Brazil too
es algo asi como Condorito?
No es la misma version de la TV, al menos. Esa era entera dibujada, no con graficos 3D. Y los niveles eran mas simples en la version TV.
@@Seiko180 48:10 epic fail all !
Beautiful game, always had fun playing this and still do.
In argentina its was also very popular. As a kid, i have the pc version of this game in spanish obviously
Grande gabriela royfe
Had an intense flashback to this game 🎉❤
And people tell me Angela Anaconda is "creepy". Meanwhile they played *THIS* as a kid. A nightmare combined with a fever dream. 😕
jesus christ that woman always scared me to death
Had this game on my first ever laptop when i was around 5-6 and i remember having nightmares about this lil guy and i still do tbh
hellish fever dream creature
I remember playing this for a tv station wn I was a kid.

49:26 “where’s my diving GEAR!? “ just makes me laugh to this day and a fool’s showcase to us too noob on this game way back.
Stuff I thought was some childhood random daydream ❤️
I really think the witch needs her controller looking at twice she pressed the lightening button and twice it sent boulders, which was clearly the one next to the button she pressed
Oh yeah, this is my childhood.
I remember that once Magick Kids couldn't afford the license they came with "Kito Pizzas" wich was Hugo but you delivered pizzas.
memory unlocked :')
A jugar con hugo!
You missed 2 fails, 1 is from scuba in which you go in the wrong way and the other is from mountain in which you run out of time
Oh man when i was a little kid i was playing this game everyday on my moms ps1 but i never beat 1 lv at this game thats the first time i see what happened😭😂
Hugo sounds like high pitch Bilbo Baggins from the animated Hobbit movie
OMG THIS IS SO NOSTALGIA!!!!!!
(Keeps pressing left on the keypad and still dies). Damn you Hugo!!!
I remember first playing this game when I was visiting my family in Argentina. Hugo seemed to be a popular video character there at the time. Was this game a PAL exclusive?

Magic kids 😂
Bruh i just got memories i didn't know i had.
My favorite part was the railroad bit
Oh no what a ' flat ' feeling
i think i remember this game way back in the day.
It doesn't feel the same if you don't play it on a phone
I didn't knew 'Magic Hands' was in this game too! I thought it was only in HUGO PLATIN.
Wow I haven’t played this game in ages
Huuuuuugo es la estrellaaaaa,si si,soy la estrella yuhuuuu

Look at how the trains were moving though, that was some dumb shit hahaaaa, there was no fucking way to get past that.
Credits music sounds a bit similar to the title theme of Hugo 2
years ago in classic turkey
The game without the phone tones feels extremely weird. Also what's the deal with the skateboard going off-screen?! o_O
LAST TROLL TO THE BALL IS A ROTTEN BLUEBERRY
I laugh when his face in intro
I used to be so scared when i played this
You sire, are a damn hero for playing this "videogame". My respects to you...
Hugo the troll :)
On tv, in the diving stage, the game was over if you had no air left
Remember the games
We need a remake but nope, Jim Ryan doesn’t want that to happen
Curious - How would playing the game in real time have worked out, accounting for broadcast delays?
You can watch a video of it on youtube if you just look up hugo, it.. looks pretty awful honestly. Someone else in the comments here called it a "scam", and I can definitely see how it would be near impossible to win playing that way.

Thanks,but i prefer the Amiga version over this.The only thing for me that is great,is Scylla's laughter.
