• Adventures of Lolo 3

    From Atreyu@77:1/103 to All on Fri Mar 6 23:33:28 2020
    Been playing this on the NES while dealing with two days of bedrest / Flu / hell-with-my-luck-possible Corona virus. Who the fuck knows. You gotta love a virus named after a cheap beer. Hopefully Toronto gets another rock concert out of a pandemic.

    I am sure there has been discussion about the most difficult NES games of all time, but this baby takes the cake. Hands down.

    I am aware that the same could be said about Metroid, but with action games its really just figuring out the "logic" behind the action. With Lolo 3 and simular ilk, its the opposite, figuring out the action behind the logic.

    Its a silly puzzle game and to finish this without any kind of cheat, walkthrough or watching Youtube gamers effortlessly beat it is impossible.

    Great, now I have to turn on the virus scanner for all SciNet messages,
    thanks Nick!

    CoronaFest, not as ring-y as SarsFest. Great advertising opportunity!

    Oh man those Lolo games I have a total love/hate relationship with. They are deceptively addictive and engaging, but also infuriatingly frustrating and rapidly raise the urge to kill.

    Not a bad idea to convalesce playing that game since you don't have the
    energy to actually kill. Instead the frustration will just exhaust you into sleep. :D

    At this rate all concerts are going to be brought to you by a beer company
    and a virus, disease or condition!

    "Welcome to TuburculoFest brought to you by Labatt's!"
    "We're so happy to be playing here at LeperStock, thanks to Heineken for
    making it all happen!"

    Well said. I couldn't have said it better myself.

    I got a blank message from you?

    Or was it a blank stare?

    Lol, *brilliant* idea, one that a certain individual with $ financial means $ could get behind if somehow coerced/lured in discussion. And I for one, will recommend scanning Fido messages to our R12 dictator overlord once our migration to CBBS is complete. We must take message safety very seriously.

    I think he was just invisible ink. You have to hold that message up to a
    candle to see what he wrote.

    LOL, no, nowhere near that interesting. Just hit the s instead of q while trying respond and blank message away. :D

    Might have had a wee bit o'Cardhu in me at the time. ;)

    I'd love to see what a lot of o'Cardhu would do.
