Monthly Old-School Favorite - Adventures of LoLo (NES)

This is going to be a little monthly feature here at the blog. Daemion loves to play classic games, so we figured we would showcase one of his favorites here each month.

First up this month,
The Adventures of Lolo for the NES.

This is a fantastic little puzzle game. I used to play it back when I was a kid, and it was one of the first virtual console games that we downloaded to our Wii. At first Daemion didn't really care for it, but after seeing me play it a few times, he finally asked for the controller. Once he learned the basics, he fell in love. He has got a bit frustrated with it a few times, but he seems to really like the challenge it brings. The last few stages he was on I had to help him a little, but he was always the one with the controller. If you like mind-bending puzzlers, pick this one up, you won't be disappointed.

It's available on the WiiShop Channel for 500points($5)
