In the third and final game of the Hugo trilogy, Hugo and Penelope are making
their way back from Uncle Horace's cottage in the previous game. Suddenly their
plane spirals out of control, and crash lands in the dense jungle below. After
a brief exploration, Penelope gets bitten by a vicious spider and falls into a
deep sleep. Hugo must now set out on a journey through the dangerous forest to
find the mysterious water that will make her recover from the spider's bite.
Though there have been numerous improvements to the graphics and options (there
is now a turbo button to make Hugo walk twice as fast), the length of the game
is far too short compared to the previous two games and the difficulty of the
puzzles is extremely easy. Where other games required precise movements to
navigate around dogs, mummies, venus fly traps and killer bees, there are no
such sequences here. Overall, Hugo III is a disappointing end to the trilogy.
The game starts on the path near the spider's web. Walk east, go behind the
plane and "look in plane" to see five items. "Get bouillon cubes". "Get clay".

the small red cage and "put sandwich in cage".
Walk away from the cage and wait for the mouse to walk in. "Get cage". "Get
candle" near the cauldron. Exit the hut. West. South. West to arrive in an area
with an elephant. West. Move around the plants at the right side of the stream
until Hugo finds a book. "Get book". "Swing over vines". "Swing over vines".
