Mini-update 6

By LordBoarmont -

Fan games are awesome! We've been hard at work on ours, but there are so many other projects that deserve shout-outs that I would be remiss not to mention a few of them.

Most recently, an "enhanced" version of Zelda 2 was released. Just like Eggerworld, it isn't a mod, it's a full stand-alone application. It faithfully reimplements the original game with added modern niceties. It adds widescreen, and by necessity it reimagines sections that formerly lived just offscreen in the original NES release. It's a must-play for fans of the original Zelda 2 like myself, and you can check out the Reddit post and links for it here.


Mega Man Maker is another excellent fan game. It takes the Mario Maker mentality and implements it for Mega Man. Makers can use bosses, enemies, and tiles from across the entire Mega Man franchise, from Cut Man all the way to Blast Man, and new content is releasing for this game all the time. Version 1.8.0 just added a ton of new features, so go check it out here.


Eggerworld is much younger than these projects but it is also coming along nicely. There's so much we can do that we feel like kids in a candy store when picking what cool features to try next. For now, I'll leave you with this:

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?

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.
