HAL Laboratory‘s Adventures of Lolo 3 is a fantastic, cute and extremely playable puzzle game, first released for the Nintendo Famicom in Japan in 1991 (actually December 26th 1990, but we’ll say 1991).

Al-Qadim: The Genie’s Curse, PC
I remember playing and reviewing this PC MS-DOS game when it first came out in 1994.
Al-Qadim: The Genie’s Curse is a more ‘action-oriented’ TSR role-playing game, compared to many of the other ‘Gold Box’ TSR RPGs of the time (and there were lots – courtesy of SSI and US Gold). ‘RPG Lite’ you could call it.
Games Beginning With ‘A’ Week
I was looking through my grabs recently and realised that there were more games beginning with the letter ‘S’ than any other letter of the alphabet, and wondered why…
Maybe it’s because there’s a penchant for calling Super Nintendo games “Super Somethingorother“?
Which set my mind in motion…
[“It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.”]
I thought: “I should have a random celebration of games that start with a particular letter of the alphabet every now and then.”
So we’ll start off this week at the very beginning… With the letter ‘A’.
So… a week of games beginning with the letter ‘A’! 🙂
