NES Works 120: Adventures of Lolo
🕑 Added 2023-12-20 12:58:44 +0000 UTCNES Works returns to its regularly scheduled, uh, schedule here with episode 120, which covers a game I have a lot of fondness for: Adventures of Lolo. HAL Labs made some great games back in the day, and buying a copy of this one from my local rental shop (who would put used rentals on sale for hilariously good prices after a few months) back in the day cemented that logo into my brain as an instant endorphin trigger, long before Kirby and Smash Bros. It probably also explains why I was actually excited to tackle my first Soukoban port for Game Boy Works back in the day. Little did I know that Soukoban is always Soukoban, but Lolo is Soukoban evolved.

As many Nintendo Power column inches as Hydlide and Amagon? Ouch. Lolo definitely deserved better.

The sheer quickness in which the medusas hand out a death might have been the first real jump scare I experienced on NES.
