Dang, wish my 3DO was working right. How is emulation these days? I finished Lucienne's Quest through emulation a few years ago without any real issue. I'd say it's quite functional, though I haven't checked for Doctor Hauzer. There's really only one proper emulator - it used to be called FreeDO, now I think it's 4DO (or something close). You still need a BIOS file. Not a ton of user options, but it works well enough. Also, if you run it and you think it's bugged cause it's so slow and choppy, it's not. It's really supposed to run like that.

Heh, yeah, I watched a speed run of it, and it's slooooooow.

Doctor Hauzer, the Japanese Alone in the Dark clone, has been translated. Like AitD, it moves veeeery slowly. That said, it's interesting in that it predates Resident Evil as a proto-3D survival horror. Doctor Hauzer was particular ambitious, in that all of its backgrounds are texture mapped polygons, as opposed to prerendered images such as AitD and RE used. This technical decision surely impacted the framerate even further though.

Honestly the game is kind of appealing to me. If there were a hack to fix the frame rate, I'd play it.

Whoa! "However, the map was replaced with a linear series of levels" - is a little vague to me. That makes it sound like this one has entirely different levels all around, or maybe the order was randomly rotated around? Having beaten Lolo 1 a year ago, I'll definitely have to check this out to see the differences.
EDIT: Wow this barely looks recognizable. There's even a bunch of new music in here, the NES release only had one track. Guess they weren't kidding with this part: The Western release of Adventures of Lolo 1 was partially based on this game.

Yeah, I knew that the first game had different levels, but I'd forgotten about some of the other stuff. I do, however, remember that RPG battle from a screenshot, probably in Nintendo Power.

I watched the Lolo 2 speedrun last week during GDQ, the final boss fight in that one was amusing.
