Title: Want to buy: Eggerland Departure to Creation
Post by: brian on March 24, 2013, 06:00:40 pm
I have collected nearly all of the games in the Eggerland/Lolo series for MSX/FDS/Famicom/NES/Gameboy/Windows.  One of the last ones I am still looking for is Eggerland Departure to Creation (aka Souzouhe no Tabidachi).  This was the one released on the FDS disk writer (there is the other more common Eggerland for FDS which I already have).  If you have an original one that you would be interested in selling to help me complete my Eggerland collection please let me know.  Thanks, Brian.

It is notoriously hard to come by among FDS collectors since it was a late-life Disk Writer title only (kind of like the impossibly rare Clu Clu Land Disk Version).  I have the original Eggerland complete for FDS but have never seen the sequel in the wild.  One overpriced Japanese web retailer currently has a loose copy with no folded up manual sheet for something like 40,000 yen.  There was a user that used to sell repros of it here, ericj I think could rewrite you a copy.  I know though if you're after only originals that won't do.  Since it's a Disk Writer title, it might be hard to verify authenticity outside of the label and instruction sheet (seen below), though it is the presence of those two things that are going to skyrocket the price.

Good luck!

lobdale, thanks for the info.  

Here is a picture of my Eggerland/Lolo collection so far.   I also have a Eggerland 2 for the MSX on its way that isn't pictured.   The Departure to Creation / Souzouhe no Tabidachi is the last unique Eggerland/Lolo game I don't have yet.  Hopefully at some point I'll be able to find it :)

Beautiful collection! The scans of the fold-out manual can be found online. I suppose the one making those repros used that one.

I'd guess it's Fukkatsu! Eggerland for the PC.

Yes, it is "Fukkatsu! Eggerland" (aka "Revival! Eggerland") for the PC (Windows)

I think the Gameboy Lolo comes before the Windows games.

Also Eggerland Episode 0: Quest of Lala comes before Fukkatsu! Eggerland. You play as Lala, it has a Construction Mode and it's freeware.

brian,

This is slightly off-topic, but I hope you'll indulge me. Is it true that the Famicom versions of Lolo and Lolo 2 (which correspond to US Lolo 2 and 3) have different puzzles than their US counterparts? I've been thinking about buying them, and I don't generally pick up multiple versions of the same game unless there's significant gameplay differences. I figured I'd ask you, since you seem to be a serious Lolo fan.

I haven't played the Famicom versions of Lolo and Lolo 2 yet, but from what I have read they do have mostly different (and more difficult) levels compared to the US versions.

Still looking for this one - it is the last Eggerland/Lolo game I don't have yet.

I finally found this after looking for several years off and on...  :)  And not only did I find one, but I found two:

No instruction manual though, so I'm still looking for that..

Heh. I've had that happen to me a few times. I chase a game for what seems like forever, and then I land two copies in the same week. In any event, congratulations on getting this much closer to completing your Lolo collection. Now you need to play them!

Congratulations man! You're the first serious collector of Eggerland that I know. Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

It's been a long while since I lasted posted on these boards, but I believe I stumbled across another insanely rare item (the last being Monster Party).

I just picked up a White Famicom Development Disk, and having just tested it (I was waiting for my twin-fami to arrive), I believe it's a prototype of Eggerland Departure to Creation. 

Here are some pictures of the game:

I can certainly get some gameplay footage up later in the day for those interested.  I have absolutely no idea if there are any differences in the gameplay as I didn't even know the title existed earlier today.

I have to imagine there aren't many, if any, similar examples out there.

Having done just a bit of digging, it appears that the title/intro screen is totally different.  This one looks a bit earlier than I initially thought.  Will have some comparison videos later in the day.

Mods/admin:  Let me know if it'd be more appropriate to make another thread or if it's ok to continue to post in the buy/sell sub forum.
