From [Book I: The Hugo Programming Manual][1]:

> [...] Just What Is Hugo?
>
> Chances are if you?re reading this book you?re already at least a
> little familiar with adventure games, and maybe even more
> specifically interactive fiction or text adventures.?Hugo is a
> system for designing, programming, and running these. It is not the
> first such system ? and it?s difficult to find substantial fault in
> any general way with the best of those systems that predate Hugo ?
> but Hugo does hope to extend the concepts developed in earlier,
> similar systems in order to make interactive fiction programming
> less cryptic, and more flexible and accessible to designers, as well
> as to add functionality in certain areas where other systems are
> lacking.
>
> What does it mean to be a ?system? for interactive fiction? In
> Hugo?s case, it means that not only does it provide an environment
> for running Hugo games ? the rather exciting-sounding Hugo Engine ?
> but also the means of creating them (the Hugo Compiler) and a tool
> for troubleshooting (the Hugo Debugger). Additionally, it includes
> the Hugo Library, in essence a suite of Hugo programming code
> providing the basic infrastructure for a Hugo game.

Download #1 is a .sit-compressed folder containing the Glk version of
the Hugo Run-time engine (text-only), version 3.1.03, by Kent Tessman,
dated 2006. This is a Glk-interface interpreter for Hugo games that
functions in a similar manner to [MaxZip][17].

Download #2 is a .sit-compressed folder containing the Hugo Run-time
engine, version 3.1.03, by Kent Tessman, dated 2004-06. This version
of the Hugo game interpreter requires either carbonized Mac OS 8.x-9.x
or PPC Mac OS X.

Download #3 is a .sit-compressed folder containing (command-line) Mac
OS X executables of the Hugo compiler, run-time engine (text only) and
debugger, version 3.1.03, by Kent Tessman, dated 2006. These are the
final versions of the Hugo game-creation tools.

Additional related downloads can be found on the [IF Archive][18].

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC PPC (Carbonized)

DL#1 is FAT, and therefore should be compatible with Basilisk II and
SheepShaver (from System 7.x to 9.x).

DL#2 is carbonized PPC, and therefore should be compatible with
SheepShaver (with carbonized Mac OS 8.x-9.x) and PPC Mac OS X.

DL#3 requires a Mac OS X command-line console.
