'''''Hugo III: Jungle of Doom!''''' is an adventure puzzle game developed and published by [[David Gray]] and released for [[MS-DOS]] on 1992-02-20 and later ported to [[Windows]]. It is the third game in the [[Hugo (universe)|Hugo series]], released after [[Hugo II: Whodunit?]].

The game was programmed in [[Quick C]], and Gray's graphics were drawn in [[PC Paintbrush]].

I played this game shortly after playing ''[[Hugo II: Whodunit?]]'', most likely from the same shareware package as the second game. I certainly appreciated the improved artwork, but found the game to be just as dated at the previous titles in the trilogy. I got a little over half-way through the game in my first attempts, but finally hunkered down to play it in earnest and beat it on 2018-06-25.

==Status==
I do not own the game, but I have beaten it with a full score and minor hints.

==Review==
* '''Overall:''' 2/10
* '''Best Version:''' DOS

==Review==
===Good===
* The artwork, drawn by [[Gary Sirois]], is certainly better in this game, but still quite dated for the time ([[Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis]] was released the same year).
* The game engine saw more improvements like a turbo feature.

===Bad===
* The game's music and sound effects are very dated and not that great even for the 80s.
* A lot of the scenery that should be animated is not.
* The game doesn't seem to know it's set in South America; there are African elephants, hyenas, and Zulu shields.
* The game does have a few guess-the-verb style problems especially on the bridge and the crystal ball.
* The book is stupidly hidden.
* There are a couple ways to put the game into an [[unwinnable state]], but they're fairly obvious.

===Ugly===
* The game is far too short for an adventure game that costs money. It's even shorter than the first Hugo game!

==Download==
This is all of the shareware versions of the Hugo games I could find including Hugo III: Jungle of Doom! for DOS and Windows. You can still buy the game from the author.
