Hugo III: Jungle of Doom! is an adventure puzzle game developed and published by David Gray and released in 1992 as the third game in the Hugo series.
I played this game right 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.

I do not own the game, but I have beaten it with a full score.
Review
- Overall: 2/10
- Best Version: DOS
Review
Good
- The artwork is certainly better in this game, but still quite dated for the time (King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder was released the same year).
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.
Ugly
- The game is far too short for an adventure game that costs money. It's even shorter than the first Hugo game!
