The ''Eggerland'' series made its debut back in '''[[:category:1985|1985]]''' when ''[[HAL Laboratory]]'' (of Japan) released ''Eggerland Mystery'' for the ''MSX Home Computer''. The game starred an egg-like character named '''Lolo''' whose significant other, '''Lala''', was captured by the evil '''King Egger''' of '''Eggerland''' and who had to traverse a complicated series of labyrinths in order to save her, being faced with a plethora of enemies along the way. As the series progressed, eventually making its way to the ''Famicom Disk System'' in '''[[:category:1985|1987]]''' and then the ''[[:category:NES|Nintendo Entertainment System]]'' in North America and Europe in '''[[:category:1989|1989]]''' new enemies and challenges were introduced. The series is often complicated to follow because there are many titles that appear only in Japan while others appear only ''outside'' of Japan. ''The Adventures of Lolo 3'' ('''[[:category:1991|1991]]''', ''NES'') was the last title released in North America while ''The Adventures of Lolo'' ('''[[:category:1995|1995]]''', ''[[:category:Game Boy|Game Boy]]'' and ''Super Game Boy'') was the last title released in Europe, but in Japan ''Eggerland Episode 0: The Quest of Lala'' was released in '''[[:category:1996|1996]]''' for ''[[:category:PC|Windows]]'' as a demo for the '''2000''' release of ''Revival! Eggerland'', also for ''Windows''. | The ''Eggerland'' series made its debut back in '''[[:category:1985|1985]]''' when ''[[HAL Laboratory]]'' (of Japan) released ''Eggerland Mystery'' for the ''MSX Home Computer''.

==Eggerland Releases== | |||
The following is a list of the titles released in the ''Eggerland'' series. This has been divided into Japanese and Western releases, mainly because of the differences in the nomenclature of the titles (''The Adventures of Lolo'' was '''not''' released in Japan and therefore the Western release of ''The Adventures of Lolo 2'' was released as ''The Adventures of Lolo'' in Japan). Additionally, there were several more titles released only in Japan and which fans must import should they wish to play them. | |||

==Nomenclature== | |||
While the series itself is called the ''Eggerland'' series, the games go by two different names depending upon which region they were generally released in. In Japan, the games are called ''Eggerland'', except for the few titles which received global release. However, in Western nations these games are called ''The Adventures of Lolo,'' with the rare exception of the European release of the original ''Eggerland Mystery.'' | |||
It should be noted that ''The Adventures of Lolo'' is essentially a compilation of levels from previously released ''Eggerland'' titles (not seen in Western nations) and was therefore '''not''' released in Japan, so the Western ''The Adventures of Lolo 2'' was renamed ''The Adventures of Lolo'' when it was released in Japan, and likewise, ''The Adventures of Lolo 3'' was called ''The Adventures of Lolo 2'' in Japan to compensate. | |||
On another note, the Famicom Disk System game "Eggerland" is a port of the MSX game "Eggerland 2", and is considered the better deal. | |||
