Wasn't it something like Ctrl-W to win? Seems like the easiest game in the world to speed run!
I wish I could remember what it was. It was cool for the early 90's, sort of fantasy-horror haunted house kind of game.
I recall finding a bug on a replay of the game, where I accidentally typed a command one room early in the house, and it immediately went to the end game screen. Apparently the bug was that at any time you could basically type something like, "Open the last door" and you would immediately finish the game.
That's got to be the fastest speedrun I've seen, just by virtue that the game intro was a lot shorter than Monkey Island.
Now I'm contemplating buying the set for 6$.
But I definitely owned and played that second Hugo game!
I am going to have to dig into this tonight and see what I come up with.
ETA: It's also possible my memory is totally wrong. Or as well, that it was just some lone dev who barely got his game published. I definitely remember buying it from the bargain bin of crap PC games.
I have been searching more, and my visual memory is pretty good (even for something 30+ years ago). Still have not found a dead ringer. Likely to be a CGA game.
