I missed the entire Sierra Online craze. My early forays with adventure games consisted of 3 main vectors.

1. The Myst series, I adored the first 2 games.
2. Monkey Island series, the best the genre has to offer in many ways
3. Hugo. Fucking…Hugo. I had the original trilogy on one of those gas station dollar bin game collections.

The Hugo games aren’t as bad as Sierra adventures, but there was still enough infuriating “logic” to help me understand why the genre died.

I think the adventure game in UFO 50 must be partly inspired by Hugo’s House of Horrors.
