EDIT: Appears he's been around since C64 times, can't recall ever playing any back then.
I known Hugo from Amiga 500 and it became a TV show.
In France it was an interactive TV show in 1992~1993 where each day, for 15 minutes, spectators called the television number and tried to get selected for a live-interactive on-rails game play.
The selected person were called back to play "Hugo délire" using their phone's buttons, with all the lag it could have
The user just needed to hit 4 or 6 to select the path he wanted to take, or 2 to jump.
Here are a website speaking about the TVgame, and few (french) video from the game or from current game show speaking about oldies.
