Ugh
A prehistoric pilot who flies the small craft, rescues passengers, and transports them through the cave stages.
How it plays
Each stage presents a cave network containing passengers and a destination. Ugh flies through the enclosed space, approaches a passenger, picks them up, and carries them to the required landing point.
The main challenge is controlling momentum in tight passages. Players must avoid collisions, manage available fuel, and land carefully. Progression comes from completing increasingly difficult cave layouts rather than from character statistics or equipment upgrades.
Plan your run
Use small, controlled movements instead of holding a direction for long periods. Learn the safest route through each cave before attempting a fast delivery.
Plan fuel use around the complete trip, and approach landing areas slowly. Avoid scraping cave walls, since a collision can waste time or end the attempt.

Before you begin
Prioritize safe routes over maximum speed.
Brake early before narrow passages and landing areas.
Track fuel consumption throughout each delivery.
UGH! is a 1992 arcade-action game developed by Egosoft and published for DOS by Rainbow Arts. The player controls Ugh, a prehistoric pilot operating a small flying craft through cavernous stages. Its core premise combines passenger rescue with careful navigation: people must be collected and delivered while the craft avoids walls, hazards, and fuel problems. The game is played from a side-view perspective and emphasizes precise movement rather than combat. Its distinctive prehistoric setting and demanding cave layouts gave it a memorable identity among early-1990s German computer games. Reception is chiefly associated with its unusual concept, humorous presentation, and challenging physics-based handling.
