**KLONDIKEBAR** HUGO

You are welcome. 

I think I am somewhat useful to Parenting at times.

Okay. I got it working. I found the original game. The problem is that it isn't compatible with 64-bit operating systems and will error out. The fix? Run a DOS emulator called DOSBox. What DOSBox will do is run the application for you inside of it. It is really simple. You just mount a virtual volume. So.. let me walk you through this...

1 .Download the game here at this link:

https://www.dosgamesarchive.com/file/hugo/

2. Extract it anywhere on your computer. I put it on my C: in a folder called Hugo. So.. It is in C:hugo. This is important later on.

3. Next, we will need to grab the DOSBox x86 emulator for Windows found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/dosbox/0.74/DOSBox0.74-win32-installer.exe/download

4. Run the DOSBox download and accept the default installation location. It will also place an icon on your desktop.

5. Double click "DOSBox 0.74" It will launch two command prompts. The one that has the "Welcome to DOSBox" prompt and a flashing cursor is the one you want. 

6. We need to mount the folder you extracted the game to as a virtual drive. Type the following: mount  H C:Hugo     

Obviously you will substitute the C:Hugo for wherever you extracted the game files to. And I picked H as the drive letter because.. H is for Huge.

7. Set your location in DOSBox to the H drive now by simply typing: H: 

8. The cursor flashing should now read "H:>" That lets us know we are looking in our H drive, which we mounted as the game directory. (see screenshot in #9)

9. Type the following command to launch the Hugo's House of Horrors executable:  HHH.exe 

10. Done! The game should have launched and you are now ready to enter Hugo's House of Horrors!

Enjoy.

If you need any help or run into any problems just ask and I will be happy to help. 

 Also, I tested the Save Game/Load Game feature- it works. Just hit F1 like the good old days and save/load your games there. Woohoo. I will be playing again too I think. 

EDIT: Here are the links for the next games in the series too.
