What is a HOG, or a HOG screen?

August 17th, 2012 by maxfun Leave a reply »

I have read a number of video game reviews and have stumbled onto this term.  At first it perplexed me.  What did it mean, what are they talking about?  I thought that maybe someone was hogging the computer–but that did not make sense given the context.  The review that I was reading was about the hidden object game, Murder, She Wrote.  I found the term more than once in the document.  I had to ask a friend and I got laughed at.  He said that it stood for Hidden Object Game.  I wasn’t completely convinced so I searched on the term and found a number of other references to it.  They were all in articles about hidden object games.    I’m pretty convinced now that a HOG screen is a hidden object game screen, and that the HOG in this case has nothing to do with pigs!

See these great HOG games.

These are among the best cheap download games you can find.  Only $6.99 per game for hours of fun and discovery.
