Adventures of Lolo 2 dropped on the NES in 1990 and picked up right where the first game left off—same blue puffball hero, same brain-bending puzzle rooms, but cranked up in difficulty. HAL Laboratory basically said, “Alright, you beat the first one—prove it wasn’t luck.” The game packs 50 new levels across 9 floors of the haunted castle, throwing in new enemies and trickier mechanics like Medusas, Don Medusas, and Alma monsters that punish sloppy moves. No flashy upgrades, no shortcuts—just pure, methodical puzzle-solving that makes you feel like a genius when you nail it. If you grew up in that era, you remember the grind: reset after reset, figuring out the exact sequence to clear a room without getting insta-zapped. It’s the kind of old-school challenge that made beating a game feel like a trophy.
