merge[edit]

I copied text over to start a merge process. Can someone please clean it up for me? Thanks! Tedernst 17:37, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it is really necessary to put the monster pages on here... I had them separate because they had better, more descriptive info on their own pages. --Sivak 20:07, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, well ... Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alma (Lolo) result was to merge. Tedernst 21:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I didn't know of any of that. I made some mods to the article to incorporate it. What does everyone think? --Sivak 00:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Need help with the Eggerland series?[edit]

I have played/have copies off all or most of the Eggerland games, even some more exclusive titles such as "Eggerland- Revival of the Labyrinth" and "Revival! Eggerland" (2000, PC), so if you all think that we should write an article for any of these games (since there aren't any about these individual ones), I can certainly do them or help...These games are very good, and "Revival of the Labyrinth" is very interesting, for example, as it is the game from which "Adventures of Lolo" was more-or-less a "dumbed down" version, though it took many levels from the game (Revival had 162 stages as opposed to Lolo's 50, and Revival also had many more complicated puzzles and was non-linear). Let me know if you need anything! --Yahweh 07:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have the games myself. It was just a matter of getting around to making articles. I started the Eggerland series article because I felt it was a better "category" than just The Adventures of Lolo. If you want to do up articles for the reamaining games, by all means. One thing I ask is maybe keep them in the same style of the other Lolo game articles I did up. What do you think of the whole series page though?

Another thing: one of the monsters apparently got voted to be merged with this, which kind of angered me since there was no reason for it... So getting their articles into this page may have to be the way to go. --Sivak 17:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Monsters Merge?[edit]

I suppose that, if we want, we can make a section of this article and call it "Eggerland Series Monsters" since there are monsters that appear in the Eggerland series as a whole. Of course, for each monster we will just have to make a note after its description which games it appears in since, in the early games, there are a few monsters which do not make an appearance (such as Don Madusa?). Anyhow, I think we could do that if we want to and it would not really be that big of a deal if some of the monsters already exist description-wise. --Yahweh 22:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I kept them separate because I felt that was best. Though it seems pages might be voted to be merged with the main article. I don't know what truly would work best. --Sivak 00:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Possible WikiBook[edit]

I was thinking about making an in-depth WikiBook about the Eggerland series as a whole, which would discuss the history of the series from 1985 until present, give each individual game in the series a section, talk about the individual monsters and characters, etc. I have done several WikiBooks in the past, and to give you an example of some of them, here are a couple you can take a look at:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Mega_Man (Complete)

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Mega_Man_X (Work in Progress)

What do you think? --Yahweh 19:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It could work. I have never heard of Wikibooks before, actually. --Sivak 00:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to see my progress on the Eggerland WikiBook, you can check here, I haven't even gotten to the gameplay basics or the individual games yet and it's pretty in-depth already:

Expansion[edit]

I am slowly expanding this article, writing articles about the individual games that have not been written about yet, such as Eggerland - Revival of the Labyrinth. --Brahman 01:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Lolo2-HoleDemo.png[edit]

Image:Lolo2-HoleDemo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pac Baby?[edit]

Presumably these games are descendents from pac-man. Is that a fair remark and, if so, wouldn't it provide a useful reference for the article?

--Philopedia 13:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, and no. These games (made by HAL Laboratory) have nothing to do whatsoever with Pac-Man (made by Namco). Brittany Ka (talk) 23:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material[edit]

The following is unsourced information:

The sound effects for all NES titles after the FDS title Eggerland have been virtually unchanged.
The two Windows releases feature a built-in level editor so users can create their own levels. The only other titles that had an editor were Eggerland: Departure to Creation and Eggerland Mystery, which were released only in Japan and Italy.
In Italy, Eggerland Mystery was released with the title Natalino Folle on bootleg tapes.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) ^talk 23:06, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances[edit]

There is an Appearance of Lolo and Lala in Kirby Super Star Ultra (I think both the SNES and the DS version (I never played the SNES, but I have played the DS version). They appear as bosses in Kirby Super Star in the 2nd Stages of Revenge of the King and Spring Breeze. Shall I make that reference in both this page and the List of Kirby Enemies? They push blocks or sometimes a Gordo along in a rows like stage.--Kagemaru the Ninja of the Shadows (talk) 04:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
