davidn did a highly entertaining screenshots-with-commentary play-through of Hugo 2 sometime ago. I decided I should follow it up with a game from my childhood. I find my selection fitting, for several reasons. First, it's by the same company, which should tell you that we're in for a treat.

I remember marveling at that when I heard it, because ... you can (try to) cross the street?? The last time I tried playing this game, I hailed the taxi to go everywhere, including the police station, because I didn't know it was, you know, right across the street.

I might just do that again anyway. It's a question of whether the having to look both ways or the long taxi ride is more insufferable, I guess. Though the latter at least keeps me slightly farther away from harm.

"Taxi!"
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Can you take me to the police station?"
"The ... the one that's right there?"
"Yes, sir."
"So you want me to ... what ... drive around the block and turn around, just so I can pull up in the same spot but against that curb instead of this one?"
"Please."
"... Why?"
"
"
"Oh. Right. Good thinking, then. Off we go."
