Bringing the Adventures of Lolo back to Eggerland -- About the project

By -

Why hasn’t the Adventures of Lolo franchise been touched in many, many years? Nintendo and Hal Laboratory seem to be done with it, unless they’re using the Duke Nukem Forever approach for their next logical puzzler. What’s your history with the Adventures of Lolo and/or Eggerland? Post in the comments.


Lolo's here to kick eggs and chew bubblegum... and he's all out of gum.



We are LordBoarmont, ACalmMind, devnull, and helping friends. Eggerworld is our resurrection of the Adventures of Lolo & Eggerland. For decades we’ve been playing video games, thinking about them, and listening to fantastic video game music (currently I have the FTL full soundtrack playing!). Now... we’re making a game.


This project serves two purposes for us: 1) to design a game engine, and 2) to prove we can complete a project. We are borrowing from Lolo so we can focus on those two goals and not worry about graphics, sounds, and frankly… story. Side quest- we just want to solve more puzzles! In this blog we expect to show progress, stories, and thoughts on game development and philosophy.


We believe there’s life left in Adventures of Lolo & Eggerland, and we have delicious ideas for enhancements! We invite you to be part of this experience with us! Welcome.

P.S. If you’re not familiar with FTL’s terrific soundtrack by Ben Prunty, I highly recommend it–FTL | Ben Prunty (bandcamp.com).

We're ready to present a bite-size demo of the game! Yes, some of you Lolo pros out there might gobble this up in ten minutes, but the point is Hey, it works! And you can try it now! We haven't been twiddling our thumbs, the project is real and now you can see it for yourself. We've been doing a lot of learning about how we'd ideally distribute this project, and there was even a false start where we thought we had a release but then the builds were faulty and we had to temporarily take down the downloads page. We have a Windows x64 version of the demo up now, and we're working on a Linux version and then an OSX x64 version. So head over to the "Downloads" page (or click this super convenient link ) and download the version you need. Again, only Windows x64 at the moment, but more are soon to come. Oh, and let us know what you think in the comments, especially if you run into issues. We'll wait 😄

Who Is This For?

By LordBoarmont -

Eggerland was moderately successful thirty years ago and has since fallen into relative obscurity. It certainly doesn’t have a loud fan base like some other retro games. In fact, most people seem to say, “Oh yeah, I remember those games.” Not exactly the glowing reminiscence you see for other games like Curse of Monkey Island or Baldur’s Gate, both of which have seen highly-anticipated renaissances in the past few years.
