Imagine the input lag that caused you to run into an obstacle like an idiot, and even if you owned the actual game, you always screwed up at those final minigames that are purposefully random. But I watched this gameshow mostly for hilarious moments.

They can't. But zoomies can.

As a kid I couldn't figure out why anyone would regularly watch this shit and thought it was a total waste of a slot. It's the old days equivalent of zoomers watching streamers.

That's because Americans could actually afford computers and game consoles, while Warsaw Pact countries and Latin American banana republics couldn't.

Back in 97 we had another phone game here in hueland and was multiplayer. Instead of hugo we had two degenerate monsters. It was like a jumping/fighting game. There was a shooter too

The game aired on MTV through antenna. At that time MTV hue was even better than MTV amerimutt. The show was hosted by a fat guy from a metal band. His name was Fat Joao. He used lots of curse words during the show that they tried to censor but couldn't because the bip sound always came one second after the word. He once challenged someone on the line and showed his naked fat ass in front of the camera. It shocked me as a kid. The lack of censorship was the best thing about hue mtv

That Brazilian TV game got exported to US and other countries later on
>With the end of the show at the end of 1998, ITE exported the format to other countries. The following year, Throut & Neck premiered in the United States [ 5 ] on the Game Show Network cable channel . [ 6 ]
https://gameshows.fandom.com/wiki/Throut_%26_Neck
>Home viewers play using their telephone keypads to control the movement of each monster; one player controls Throut while the other controls Neck.

We watched for free and amerimutts had available only on cable. But they got a hot girl hosting it. Much better than the butt naked fat guy we had here

Sucks that the only archive related to these shows are shitty VHS recordings... still better than nothing, the Hugo game parts got ported to PS1 at least.

On new TVs transmissions we can't even play games like that any more. Because digital TV takes a long time to transmit compared to the old analog TV. If you play a game it would take too long to see the exact time you pressed a number on your phone. On HD would take even longer. It's not only CRT that beats HD in retro gaming. Analog TV transmission is the only way to play interactive game shows without using the internet

>>7402365
It's a greater shame they were archived at all

My condolences.

Always wondered if there was a significant input delay in this, or if people didnt actually play it and they faked everything.

we had this call in show between cartoons where this was a reticle on screen and when a space ship flew into the target you were suppose to say shoot or blast or fire or some shit like that and you racked up points and won prizes. was way better than your gay ass game.

also we had entire cartoon shows and toys where your toys could fire at the cartoon and rack up points sort of like Action Max.

In Ireland Hugo was called 'Hiudai' and for whatever reason was a virtual presenter on an Irish language kid's block and later even had his own gameshow. He'd be an on a screen behind the human presenter IIRC and his lip synch was matched with the voice actor's live speech, which was pretty cool for early 2000s kid's TV.

Unfortunately scarce footage of any of it remains;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVmjaB57GiI

He was such a big personality here they even made fucking animated music videos;

>>7404073
In France on...France 3 channel with Karen Cheryl.
I didn't know Hugo was all over Europe.

We also had a 4 player space shooter style game like Starfox with blue, red, green and yellow spaceships on France 2 in the Televisator 2 program. And also Super Mario World where there were several players on the phone and the goal was to press the jump button at the same time as the guy on TV.

And on Canal+ a game like crazy taxi where you had to deliver a pizza. but I can't find images.

>>7399007
after 20 years the novelty wore out already

>>7403249
No there wasn't delay. Because there was journalists that talked to reporters on live news studios by phone from far places. Their input delay to the studio was very low compared to news now.

>>7404786
Retro never wears out

>>7404962
There's no input to news studios now. They just make the shit up as they go along.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RxtRkaNRsY

In Italy there was this show (With a slight advertisement inside)

Video of part of the final with the best players in the studio to decide the winner of that year.

>>7399007
Fucking hell i loved this shit. A friend of mine played it was a good time.

Back in the old days when these things were in the TV, only filthy rich faggots could afford the computer or console to play these on.

In Hungary (soviet bloc country), no one has ever seen a Nintendo until 1990 so being able to play Super Mario Bros over the phone in a TV show was unimaginable. The most that people had at the time was a Commodore Plus 4 (the Commodore 64 was on the american export ban list for most of the 80s so you had to buy them on the black market, and only rich people could do that - when I got one circa 1992 or so, it still had a pretty active market).

Although I should mention that just owning a phone was already a huge fucking deal in the late 80s / early 90s, so having a phone AND being able to play a console game with it on live TV was cloud fucking coo coo land of awesome.

There something about raven haired, green eyes or blue milky skin evil women.

This thread is cringe. Brag about your game show some more, poor.

>>7399007
The girl in the third video is cute

>>7409210
I want you to keep bragging about this, mutt.

>>7408796
In the 3rd world shitholes they aired in maybe. I literally didn't know anyone who didn't have a computer or console but the mid 80's

Here is a video, I even made some shitty captions a few years ago.

Hugo was on British TV too, but not often, we had better shit. Anyway this hipster lefty cunt has an in-depth video showing the history of Hugo:

https://youtu.be/wix8VnRmnik?t=113

The jew looking fucker was practically everywhere, apart from Yankeestan.

Btw that French show presenter needs my dick in her arse.

We had that shit in Brazil, I remember that the prizes were surprisingly good. Successfully completing the game would net the player a Hugo merchandise kit, with cap, T-shirt, backpack, water bottle, among other things. The score would be put on a scoreboard, and the best of the week would get a bicycle. The best of the month would get an high-end PC, Pentium-class, complete with monitor, sound speakers, keyboard and mouse.
Fuck, I really wanted that computer...

>>7399007
excuse me sir. we did have the N-gage.....

>>7399007
Beside the (original danish) Hugo Show from the 90's Germany had something similar, but much more rudimentary way back into the late 70's and 80's.

Look, I know this is a difficult concept for you, but the world is bigger than America and the UK.

>>7399287
>>7399007
>Imagine the input lag

The input lag was a real person.

Basically, the player pressed the buttons on his phone.

Someone else on the other hand, working for the TV show, would press the corresponding button in the game and would know which button he should press by the sound phone buttons make.

Sometimes the player would make a mistake but not the show employee, because he knew the game by heart and did some things in anticipation.

>>7399007
>playing a game with your phone over TV
Jesus, someone buy this poor fuck a gameboy.

>Americans didn't even dream of playing games with their phones on live TV in the 90s
They did that in the 70's.

>But the rest of the world did it.
And they found out how awful and stupid it was after America did.

>>7412248
Nah, they actually had engineers connecting the phone relay to a nintendo over here.

>>7412064
>Look, i'm a nobody from a nowhere and it makes me inescure

>tfw it's outside your realm of influence

>>7412325
>someone buy this poor fuck a gameboy.
Gameboy was not online
>They did that in the 70's.
How
>after America did.
America only did this in the late 90's. And they had to import one of their game from a shithole country. And the prize for winning the game was a gameboy. They were buying gameboys for rich amerisharts. Gameboy was already available on shithole countries for rich class faggots anyway

The game on TV ran on Amiga btw. (actually two Amiga 3000's plus Akai sampler and some hardware for DTMF decoding).

>>7413803
The Brazilian MTV version had better graphics that not even a N64 could support. And they also made live lip syncing to talk as they go. They probably used some expensive hardware that wasn't available for consumers

real talk: why the fuck are European comic characters so fucking ugly and weird? Like who the fuck is Hugo and how is it a huge franchise popular with kids? Look at this ugly fuck.

Oh nose, we missed out on shitty game shows that people only settled for if they couldn't afford a console, how will we recover ameribros?

>>7414056
Eurosharts are the ones trying to maintain the museum after all the chads left for the New World. They have nothing else, hence why they think this garbage is quality, kurwa

>>7414056
In which console you could compete live on TV from far and have thousands of people watching and get prizes. This was probably the first live esports game that we had on TV

>>7413630
>pressing buttons on a phone is "online"
zoom zoom

>>7414056
It was fun even if you had a console. I had a console and a beffy pc at the time and I still think it was fun television.

What I am enjoying as well are all these cute hosts.

Fuck it would not fly today

>>7409154
I would insert my penis into her in order to make the baby.

>everyone forgetting that Hugo made a huge comeback with Cristiano Ronaldo
Here's a quote from the devs
>"We have no doubt that Hugo the Troll has the potential to become the world's greatest gaming character - especially with Cristiano Ronaldo at his side."

>>7415838
Da fuck? Really?

I still remember when it haired here, very comfy late afternoon after school wind up.

That is 90s as fuck. Its seems a bit more aimed at teenagers.
Its that street sharks, bike mice from mars feel.

>>7412248
>The input lag was a real person.
Haha no way, is this really true? I've seen this but never knew that.

That has to be the most basic form of input lag you can get without getting into lame ideas like postal chess - an actual real person transmitting it.

>>7415953
No anon its not true.

It worked just like any automatic phone like when you dial to a call center.

There was lag like 1 second and games were pretty lenient to account for this. You could see smart players adjusting to the delay while playing the game.

>>7399486
>porque yo no me cago cuando pido
Based as fuck, they played this song during daytime on a kids channel.
Also it was said that cucho did the show high as fuck everyday.

>>7414354
You do it through a phone line just like the first online games. The difference is that your phone dial controller is connected to a far PC in the TV station

>>7399007
Don't forget Star Wars ep I racer

>>7404073
In Latino US channel Telemundo in 93 and 94 the show/interactive game was broadcast as "Tino" and i remember it having a theme song which had the lyrics "Tino es la estrella" no footage of this version has surfaced ever since, whereas only the Argentinian version with the original name became known in latin america thanks to Magic Kids.

yikes

do americans and brits still think they're 1st world in 2021?

>>7420036
We know we are

>>7401129
>Game originated in Denmark, which could afford computer, game console, healthcare and free education
Oh wow, anon, you've told us!

>>7420036
Brtis genuinely think they are still rulling the world, so go figure.

this thread brings me back

>>7420315
Nah brits are fine the problem are amerimutts that keep larping as white supremacist nearly on every 4chan board. They think they got the best games like japan do. They think they got the richest country like chinks do. And they think they're europeans but most them are pale mexicans

>>7420309
Denmark was the country responsible for the game and many other 1st world countries where people could afford consoles got the game. You couldn't stream your game on live TV with a console though. So it was more about live streaming than playing games

>>7399007
One of my first memories as a kid. Thanks for posting.
