Little Big Adventure 1 & 2

[AdamK47]

How many of you remember these games? I installed both yesterday and after a bit of tweaking I was able to run them natively (not in DOSBox) in Vista 64-bit. These are great games and I would liken them to Psychonauts. They were quirky adventuresque style games that were somewhat overlooked at the time. Great memories.

I remember and have twinsen's Odyssey, me and my sister spent a lot of time playing that game when we were little.

I bought the first one, never finished it but I loved it. Always wanted to play the 2nd but never did, don't know why really. I'd play the first again and try the 2nd if I could find them. I know the graphics suck today but back then LBA had awesome graphics and sound.

Great games, and great soundtrack. I believe it was the first game I played where you could play the soundtrack separately.

Here ya go. It's $17.20 for LBA1 and $39.39 for LBA2.

Is this the game thats played from a top down view? You escaped from prison and run around avoiding things, and if you get caught this big fat scary guy slaps you real hard then laughs?

If so i remember playing this, i would get caught deliberately because seeing the guy get slapped was so funny

Great games, rather challenging for those younger players and a great little story.

Graphics were good for their time and Twinsen was rather bouncy and odd but cool

That's the one.

I just found my Twinsen's disc the other day...
I had a demo of it and played it over and over until it ended.
It took me about two years to find the full copy!

"i'm santa claus!"

i've played through the first one a couple of times at my parent's place. i wonder if my dad still has it... there's also a playstation one version but i don't know how it compares to the pc version.

years ago, i bought twinsen's odyssey and never got around to playing it

i actually played and beat the second one before even touching the first.

I have both games lying around, I should finish Relentless
