Adventures of Lolo 3 -- Final Victory

[Lord Thag]

I remember owning Lolo 1 back in the day and beating it. I really had fun with that one, as I recall. Solomon's Key still stands as one of the NES greats, though. Very fun, extremely challenging, with a huge pile of secrets. If only more games were that well designed...

I'm bumping this thread because I went back and read it and realized I had missed a goldmine of information the first time around. Anyone interested in the Lolo series should read the following site very carefully:

Thanks to Gafami Yag Mai for that link, which contains a detailed list of nearly a dozen other Lolo and similar games that were released in Japan.

 

The games that caught my attention first were the Japanese versions of Lolo 1 & 2. I thought they’d be the same as the American versions except they’d have Japanese writing, but according to the site they feature different and allegedly more difficult boards, as if the American games weren’t hard enough. I got the Japanese roms, put them on my newly modded Xbox, and holy crap the boards are indeed more difficult! Many of them I’d never seen before, but I recognized a few early in the game that appeared much later in the American version.

 

If you’re interested in trying these “new” games, read the above site and/or remember the following to avoid confusion:

 

The US Game Adventures of Lolo was never released in Japan. The game we know as Lolo 1 is based on the “Eggerland” games that were released in Japan. HAL spruced up the graphics, picked out 50 of the relatively easier boards and released it in the US.

 

Also:

 

Lolo 2 (US) = Lolo 1 (JP) with different and more difficult boards and

Lolo 3 (US) = Lolo 2 (JP) with different and more difficult boards.

 

As of last night, I’m on the 5th Level of Lolo 1 (JP). Looks like I still have a long way to go in this series before I can truly declare final victory...

A couple of others off the top of my head that you might like to try are Flappy and Kwirk.

 

I'll have to look for Flappy as I've never played it but I can play Kwirk for hours. I stumbled on it by accident and was damn glad to find it. Boxxle / Shove-it gets old after a while but one I found this weekend that's actually pretty addictive in the action/puzzle genre is Pac Attack. I picked it up for the Genny but am now looking for the SNES version. It actually takes a different way of thinking than any of the other action/puzzlers that I usually play.

 

Pac Attack is a great game, I've been really addicted to the version in the Pac Man Collection on the GBA. Very fun, and the puzzle mode can get really tough...

Thanks for the link, I always knew there had to be a good lolo fansite in the net.

Was there a 16-bit Lolo Game?

Quick bump. Last night I discovered Little Magic for the SNES/SFC. This great puzzler doesn't seem like much at first, but soon proves to be a great and addictive mix of Lolo, Sokoban, and Bomberman!

 

Currently I'm stuck on level 48!

 

BTW, I realized soon after that Aeon Genesis translated the ROM and has a patch up for download. I still haven't applied the patch yet (the game is pretty easy to figure out), but it's worth mention!

Lolo 2 (US) = Lolo 1 (JP) with different and more difficult boards and

Lolo 3 (US) = Lolo 2 (JP) with different and more difficult boards.

 

I beat Lolo 1 (JP) back in March and immediately started playing Lolo 2 (JP).

 

As of today, I give up. Level 13-5 is impossible.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

 

After nearly two months I finally figured out Level 13-5.

I just stumbled upon another cool puzzle game for the gameboy. Ca Da is a japanese puzzle game where you use positive and negative magnetic energy to move your character through each stage. The first set of levels is pretty easy (like most puzzle games) to get you going... but I'm finding it has some pretty interesting twists along the way. I don't quite understand the storyline... something about changing people back to human piece by piece(?) I don't know... fun game though. I should mention, the graphics aren't real pretty and the music is a little grating at times.

wow my math teacher(she has beaten them countless times) introduced these to me so i bought Lolo 1 beat it and traded it for a complete copy of Super Metroid

I just finished level 14-5 (#80 out of 100) last weekend, and I just realized that it has been over a year since I started playing this game. I definitely think it is the hardest puzzle game I've ever played.
