Before there was Kirby, there was Lolo. HAL Laboratory’s biggest franchise series on the NES. You play as Lolo and you’re on a mission to rescue your girl, Lala. You storm the Evil Labyrinth Castle full of puzzles and Monsters, and you will not stop until Lala is saved!
Lolo has no attacks. He must avoid the monsters and traps in each floor of the castle. Fortunately there are unlimited continues. A total of 50 levels to complete in the game. If you fail a puzzle or get trapped, you push the Select button to restart. This can be a difficult game, but logical minds can persevere. The controls can be a bit tricky, cause the movements are not grid based, but that can be used to your advantage too.
The Adventures of Lolo on the Nintendo Entertainment System is a fantastic title and a great start to its trilogy series. If you love puzzle games and have the patience to overcome difficult obstacles, absolutely play this game. It’s a simple premise with basic gameplay, but the mechanics and charm is so much fun.
