My favorite one is the second one (Hugo 2: Whodunnit).
It featured a big mansion and outdoor area, a lot of fun to explore.
But there were some annoying reflex-based parts that I always hated.

I mostly talk about video games and video game history. Modern, retro and indie games. #videogames #retrogaming ๐ฎ

Back then I was always on the lookout for a new adventure game. The Hugo games were a staple!

Early on, I made this Maniac Mansion map, getting the attention of MM creator Ron Gilbert, who reposted it on his Grumpy Gamer blog, around the time VGMaps blew up!

Spooky season is upon us once again.
Time to replay Last Half of Darkness (1989) #retrogaming #dosgaming
This Wanted Poster describes the game's main antagonist: the "slimy purple murderous meteor" who has crash-landed and is mind-controlling the mansion's residents.
Maniac Mansion (Lucasfilm Games) was released circa 38 years ago.

The fire cavern is home to wights and wraiths. These jerks have a chance to steal entire levels of experience with a lucky hit.
We finally found someone to trade with, but the townspeople went apeshit and trashed everything.

A classic! I've been meaning to give this one another shot as I've never actually completed it, but it's been a while since I last played it.
Big fan of the Legend Entertainment games. #Retrogames #DOSGaming

I like the art style and music. The game seems ok so far but I feel like the combat might quickly become tedious. #Nintendo #retrogaming
Great comparison. I've always preferred the EGA palette on MI.

Opposite for me, only found out the game was based on novels after the game was out.
