Adventures Of Lolo Series

If you're a 90s kid (or 80s kid) then maybe you've played this game on the Adventures of Lolo game on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This was back then when I got stuck on a Family Computer until we got the first Playstation. This was a game by HAL and back then -- there was hardly any Internet and if you didn't get a game guide then tough luck -- you're going to NEED to think much harder in playing this video game. Also, there was no real saving -- just passwords!

What was so hard about playing these games? There were many mechanics that you just needed to figure out yourself. For instance, learning when to shoot enemies off and not to shoot them off was just one -- since some enemies would eventually respawn to be used again. The others involve enemies that needed to be blocked, some are incredibly fast and others activate when all the Heart Frames (which you needed to collect to finish a level) creating some crazy results such as sleeping dragons and skulls.

The whole plot revolves around the Great King of Eggerland and the third game had his son as the main antagonist. For some reason, Lolo's kingdom of round cute blobs is always getting attacked. Lala became a damsel in distress for two games then she and Lolo could take turns in the third game -- except neither had any significant difference over the other.

Lolo 3 had some great new additions such as infinite lives -- something not available in the first two games. After all, you've got VERY HARD puzzles coming up so offering a reset whenever you press select as many times as possible is very welcome. Years later, I'd end up missing the third game and only viewing on Youtube to see how it ended.
