HUGO III, JUNGLE OF DOOM! is the third and final episode of this hugely popular
trilogy of colorful 3-D animated EGA adventure games. Having successfully
outwitted the evil occupants of HUGO'S HOUSE OF HORRORS in episode one, and
having solved the murder mystery in HUGO II, WHODUNIT? we join our intrepid
heros once more.
HUGO III, JUNGLE OF DOOM! features spectacular graphics, a new "turbo" button
and built-in hints. HUGO III is sure to be another best-seller. Will HUGO
outwit the evil Witch Doctor, find the mysterious Pool of Life and finally
defeat his arch-enemy the old man? The answer is yes, and much more besides!
Other features include save and restore, sound options, inventory keeping,
on-line help, and the all important boss key.
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
This software requires an IBM compatible computer with EGA or VGA graphics, at
least 400Kb of ram and 1Mb of disk space. A hard disk is not essential but
highly recommended.

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 3.1 STARTING PROGRAM ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
Start HUGO III, JUNGLE OF DOOM! by typing HUGO
To finish the game early, type either QUIT or EXIT at the prompt.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 3.2 HOW TO PLAY ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
To move HUGO, use either your arrow keys or the numeric keypad (remember to
turn the Num-Lock off). If using the keypad, diagonal movement is possible.
To stop HUGO simply type the same cursor key (or numeric keypad key) again.
Remember there is no need to hold down the button for HUGO to keep moving.
Use simple English to instruct HUGO to perform an action. For example "look
around" or "look at plane" to look at things. To pick something up try "pick
up flask" or "get flask" or "take flask" etc. Many synonyms are allowed but
if HUGO doesn't seem to understand, try re-phrasing your command.
Certain actions carry a bonus score when carried out, as does picking up
useful objects. When you have successfully completed the game, your score
should match the maximum score shown on the status line at the top of the
screen.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 3.3 FUNCTION KEYS ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
F1 .......... Press once for a reminder of the other function keys.
Press twice for help.
F2 .......... TURNS SOUND ON OR OFF. Note that sound does not play
continuously. The status of this button is shown in the
status line at the top of the screen.
F3 .......... REPEATS LAST COMMAND. This key is useful to allow you to
repeat a command or edit the last command.
F4 .......... SAVES A GAME. If you have to leave the game early but wish to
save your current position, use this feature by pressing F4.
Note that you may also type "SAVE" instead of pressing F4.
You will see a text box appear with eight rows of dotted lines
and an arrow pointing to the first. These are empty "slots"
which allow you to save up to eight versions of the game.
Press return and the arrow will flash by the first slot,
prompting you to enter a short description of your current
game, e.g. "At the Bridge", press return to save the game and
then either continue or leave the game by typing QUIT or EXIT.
When you return to run the game again, use the F5 button to
restore it. You may re-use any slot and either retain the
same description or type another.
F5 .......... RESTORE A PREVIOUSLY SAVED GAME. Select a "slot" as described
in function F4. Note you may not select an empty slot! Hit
return to restore the game. Note that you may also type
"RESTORE" instead of pressing F5.
F6 .......... INVENTORY. Pressing F6 puts up a text box to show you what
objects you are currently carrying.
F8 .......... TURBO BUTTON. This doubles the speed of the game allowing HUGO
to zip around much faster from screen to screen. Note that
everything will happen faster, not just HUGO, so use it with
care! A "T" will appear on the top line of the screen when the
Turbo mode is in effect.
F9 .......... BOSS BUTTON. So-named because it instantly removes all traces
of the game from the screen and places you in a normal DOS
environment from which you can perform your regular work-like
commands. Note, however, that the game is still lurking unseen
in the background and the amount of memory available to you is
reduced by about 300Kb. Resume your game at the next opportune
moment by typing EXIT. [Note: You must have sufficient
memory (at least 512K) before running HUGO for the boss button
to work, and command.com must either reside in one of your
PATH directories or have a suitable COMSPEC or SHELL command.
See your MSDOS manual for an explanation of these terms.]
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 3.4 HELP HINTS ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
An important phrase is "look" when you first enter a scene. As well as telling
you where you are, this can give you clues as to what is happening or what you
should be doing in the game.
Also very important are "look at" and "get" or "take" something. You can also
try to "look in" or "look inside" or "drop" an object.
There is a whole range of other actions which may involve an object, e.g.
"eat sandwich", "get cage" or may not, e.g. "listen" or "jump". There are even
a few occasions where more than one object is involved, e.g. do something with
something. Although many phrases are recognized, if you try one that seems like
it should work but doesn't, try rephrasing the command. It is also possible
that you are not spelling something correctly.
In general it is not helpful to try fighting or attacking other people in the
game. You can usually solve a puzzle without force. There are a few hidden
objects, although they are not too hard to find.
At the start of the game, keep pressing ENTER or SPACE to read the story so far.
You will eventually gain control of HUGO after Penelope has fainted from the
spider's bite. During the initial story-telling, in fact before it begins, you
have time to press F5 to RESTORE a previously saved game so you do not have to
keep going through the story. Once you have gained control of HUGO the first
time, it is a good idea to press F4 (or type SAVE) to save the game for the
first time. You can call the saved game "at the spider's web" or something
similar.
Make sure you go back and explore the plane. There are several items inside
without which you will not get very far.
The first puzzle is at the bridge crossing the ravine. There is a way to get
over the bridge without it collapsing under your weight. The ropes holding the
bridge are not strong enough on their own, but there are some things just
hanging around in this scene which are sure to help. All you need to do is
figure out a phrase to type to tell HUGO what to do.
The game has an object which will provide you with clues on what you should
be doing next. The object is hidden but you should soon find a scroll which
tells you where to look for it.
Finally, remember to save your game frequently and whenever you are about to
enter a new screen or do something which may be dangerous.
Good luck and have fun!
