Eggerland Episode 0: Quest of Lala (mistransliterated as "Rara") is a puzzle game released in 1996 by HAL Laboratory for Windows. It is based off of the Japanese Eggerland video game series. This game was the first of two Windows releases and is a demo, consisting of 30 stages, to show players what the full-version release of Revival! Eggerland would be capable of when it was launched in 2000 (Revival contained 194 stages).

For more information on how to play this game, see the Eggerland series article.

[edit] Game information

This game features vastly improved graphics from the prior releases due to not being restricted like the NES is.

The game features a saved game instead of passwords, so players can simply pick up where they left off.

A new object called a Crystal Framer was added. This is a pushable block, like an Emerald Framer, which can block enemy movements and shots. In addition, Lolo can shoot a shot and it will be reflected clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the type of Crystal Framer). This allows Lolo to put monsters such as Medusas or Don Medusas in eggs.

[edit] Construction Mode

The game allows players to create their own "Eggerland" maps with a level creation program known as "Construct Mode." All of the enemies and options that are available in the main game appear in Construction as well as the terrains (and accompanying music). Construction files are saved as Construct.txt which can consequently be emailed to friends and/or shared online, and this has become the norm among many Eggerland communities. The 2000 release of Revival! Eggerland includes more available terrains and music files, but the two can load the same files (though Eggerland 0 will not display the new terrain objects from Revival).

[edit] Known Bugs

The game tends not to run correctly on Windows XP. To fix the problem, one must change the compatibility mode to Windows 95/98. The midi music can also interfere with gameplay. The option screen can be used to disable music, which should make the game run correctly.
