I just want to say Hugo the TV troll was so much fun to watch in the early 90s as a kid. I used to always wonder why all the people who dialled into the talk show to play the game sucked so much at the game itself, but I am sure this was because of a massive input lag.

Later I got the game for my PC and played it with my younger cousins and they loved it to bits as well.

There was something so playable about it and the graphics were magical to the watch for young minds.

Awesome story you have about the origins of the game :) Cheers.

Yes, latency. I joined some of the same people later in a spawned-off company that created a similar concept called The Nelly Nut Show (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346350/). We had serious issues selling to the US because there was a required delay of 7 seconds on live shows so that any cursing could be bleeped out. Silly Americans :-D
