Game show adaptations
Skærmtrolden Hugo
The first Hugo game, based on the original Hugo television show Eleva2ren, was developed by Thomas Villadsen and Uffe Jakobsen for SilverRock Productions (later Interactive Television Entertainment and ITE Media). Skærmtrolden Hugo was originally released for the Commodore 64 and Amiga computers before Christmas 1990 and internationally (as just Hugo in the English language version) in 1991, and was then ported to the PC DOS shortly afterwards. The game takes place in an old gold mine filled with dangers, which Hugo has to navigate to find a treasure room. Its gameplay mechanics are simple and completing the entire game may take less than ten minutes. Skærmtrolden Hugo became Denmark's best-selling game with 30,000 copies sold during the Christmas campaign.
Classic Hugo series
Between 1991 and 2000, ITE Media adapted their classic Hugo TV show format into more than a dozen various video games consisting of different TV scenarios and published for several computer and console platforms. Two games, Hugo (originally titled Hugo - På Nye Eventyr: Del 1) and its sequel, Hugo 2 (originally Hugo - På Nye Eventyr: Del 2), were released for the Amiga in 1991 and 1992, and for the PC in 1992–1993. They were re-released as a 1994 Amiga compilation, Hugo (Hugo På Nye Eventyr), ported to the PC in 1995 and internationally retitled as Hugo 3.
