Games

The evil witch Scylla caught and locked up Hugo the troll's wife Hugoline, and three children, Rit, Rat and Rut. Hugo must first get to the Scylla's cave (completing several mini games, varying depening on the game) and then complete the end game. Here, the troll usually has to decide one between three ropes; if he selects the correct rope, he opens the cage and frees his family, while Scylla is bound and shot out of window from a catapult. There were also other end mini games (one involves avoiding Scylla's lightning bolt spells).
