Man this game is the definition of nostalgia for me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this game and how much fun I had playing this. This game was truly a secret treasure that not many played. But if you did it’s definitely one that will stick with you forever. Thank you Twinsen
Perfectly said :) I played this when I was a teenager, and the memories are still just as vibrant as the first time. I absolutely love everything about this game. It just oozes a positive vibe that is undeniable. You can really tell the artists had fun creating it. Not a second of the game is dull or a wasted opportunity. It flows so perfectly, even though it has a slightly open world nature to it, which was incredible at the time. It was and still is such a huge and amazing world to explore.
Yes!! I played when I was like 9 or ten. I think about it all the time. It was amazing how you could hold on to stuff and everything! Just the interactions and different modes you could put twinsen is is so nostalgic to me.
This game is an undiscovered jewel for many people. I remember being like 12yo, an old ass AST computer were bought for the main office in my family business. In the package i saw a bunch of not much interesting CD's to use with the CD-ROM (a novelty at that time) so i started to put them one by one, when i got to the green CD, i put it and the intro video blew my mind. After starting and playing a few hours, i was totally hooked with the game. LBA2 is one of the reasons being a kid in the 90's was the best thing ever.
+dafebeme2 AST Advantage 624 by any chance? With that blue shortcut dot on the desktop which sounded like a can of soda opening when you hovered the mouse over it? I share your memories.
cockshield lol, my memory is not that strong, it was like 20 years ago. I remember it came with another game about a pirate cat, i think the name was Claw or something, tried to find videos about it but it wasn't that memorable.
Dude, I somehow got these two games aswell... Twinsen's Odyssey, Claw, Dungeon Keeper and Moto Racer. For some reason I got these four games as a present together with my first pc, and they were all awesome. Sorry to post on a 8 month old topic, but I really found interesting how we had the very same games xD
SPOILERS AHEAD This is one of my first addictions in life. I played whe I was a child and I got really emotional involved with it. When FunFrock drop the children in the lava, I really thought they were dead and I fought him like there was no tomorrow. When I killed that bastard and discovered the children were actually saved by Balbino, and the music came up, and Twinsen Sendell, and the Esmers saved the planet...man! I was really sad the game was over. LBA 3, PLEASE! Great review man, really like it. :)
This game will always be special to me! Such a fantastic experience I don't think many modern games have had so much love put into them today as this did then
I still have this game CD-ROM. Here in Brazil, it came on a magazine called CD-Expert, which brought us so many great games. I can still remember the first time I saw this game running in my friend's PC back in the day, and this one was the first game I ever bought with my own money (saved for so long). I still listen to the soundtrack regularly, I find it quite relaxing. The interesting part is that I never had such a feeling for a game after playing this one... even the great zelda games, didn't came near the sense of exploration and amusement this game gave me. Did you ever found any game similar to this one (apart from LBA1)? I've been searching for so long... maybe that was a different time, and I was a different person, but no other game could evoque such feelings in me like this ones does. Watching your video awakened so many good feelings of that time.. thank you so much.
+Lucasbrg Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've been told that "Beyond Good & Evil" has the same kind of feeling, but I've never had the chance to try it out yet!
+JBrothersz That is really a good one, I've played it a while ago. You should give it a chance, it is an awesome game. But I guess it the nostalgia factor that keeps LBA2 in the podium for me.
+Lucasbrg I'll do that! Yeah, nostalgia is a big factor. It's difficult to explain the greatness of this game. I hope many people will try it out because of my review. I'm waiting for a great enhanced version of LBA2. Like were you have a real time camera that moves smoothly with you as you move. And maybe some high res textures. Or just LBA 3 haha ;)
Brazilian here too, i got my copy of this game when my father bought a actvision soundcard kit that came with cd rom drive and lots of CDroms, one of them was Twinsen's Odyssey, the game was amazing, those 3D graphics was something i only saw before on the Toy story movie. i remenber that for a long time i got stuck on the first cave because i had no idea how to use the ball magic.
Porra, eu tava assistindo agora pouco o canal do rodrigo baltar e ele mencionou o game, eu também tinha uma cópia da cd expert, vou procurar a minha pra ver se acho, mas talvez tenha ido pro lixo já :(
I remember when I played this game for the first time, And I played when the internet was really expensive here in my country, was around 2000. This was one of my best game ever
Oh, man! How I loved this game as a child. I remember getting home after school and then playing at least two hours, every day, with my brother and a friend. Best game of my childhood, no doubt.
@@ingenious4t They’ve played it with a full orchestra over in France. I would have given anything to be there and hear these songs in person. They have so much meaning in my life. So beautiful.
I agree with everybody, this game was a masterpiece.. oh damn I really love it when I was young..nowadays they make very good games aswell but without soul, not like a Little Big Adventure 2...And your review was good pal, so happy new year to everybody ;)
I'm so lucky my grandmother bought this game for me. LBA 2 is truly a great game that's so good will remember it forever. This is also a really nice review that brings me back to the memory lane. Keep up the good work!
as a kid I rmb playing this on my old windows 95 pc...this was my gateway drug to becoming the gamer that I am today. this game remains to be my favorite game of all time.
This was THE adventure game we had with our first PC, and I had NONE of the cognitive abilities to really play and enjoy it. It being on the GOG store is actually what led me to your vid!
I used to play this game with my Dad all the time, it was a real bonding experience for us. I remember we got stuck in the cave rescuing the lighthouse keeper and we didn't know you had to use the magic ball to hit the switch!
My struggle was even more funny - in the second cave there is a vertical ladder without one stick and to climb it you need to jump first and then climb. And for some reason I didn't understand that. I was seeking some other secret in that cave back and forth for hours trying to find some switch to add the remaining stick to the ladder. Finally, in a month or two I gave a game to one of my school mates and then asked her about her experience with that. And she said like "what ladder? I haven't even noticed that". However, I should say she had a big advantage over me - I was allowed to play computer only 40 minutes per week (!) those times.
Absolutely adored playing this game in the 90s. I really should play it again and I am so excited for the third instalment which has just been announced.
Thank you for doing this review.. as a kid this was the first game i had on my pc... i was the only one on the block that had a game like this.. frieds used to come over and we played LBA 2
Nice review! I'm also on this "my childhood" group of people, haha. And I also played it first before the original. Until a couple years ago, I finally played the first one. I remember that I played a demo first which came on a CD that also brought the 3D Movie Maker which also was a fun thing to play with. My dad managed to buy me the 3DMM but he made a copy from a friend's original Twinsen's copy. This game nailed everything that a second part should aim for: better graphics, better controls, characters, sound, music, game field, story, etc. One of the greatest games of all time. And what an amazing music it has.
Toen ik dit vroeger speelde bleef het spel vasthangen als ik met Zoey over de klif terugliep naar huis, ver had ik dus nooit kunnen komen... Wel kon ik naar Desert Island dankzij een bug. Ik heb werkelijk urenlang ontzettend veel plezier gehad van deze game! Het heeft een unieke sfeer die ik bij andere games nooit meer zo heb kunnen ervaren: de mensen met dierlijk uiterlijk, de bewegingen, het uiterlijk vd omgeving, de muziek, de voice acting, wat een knaller van een game voor die tijd en wat een hoop mooie herinneringen heeft het mij gebracht, nostalgie ten top! Zoveel gespeeld met mijn 2 oudere broers. Ik ben van plan om LBA 1 te gaan spelen en LBA 2 erachteraan te doen, deze keer zonder de 'cliffhanger' waardoor ik vroeger nooit verder kon :p
Bedankt voor je leuke reactie! Dit klinkt voor mij super herkenbaar want vroeger wist ik niet eens hoe je bij die eerste eindbaas moest komen in die grot. Ik raad het je zeer aan om ze te spelen! Nu zijn ze ook vrij toegankelijk gemaakt door diensten als Steam en GOG. Ook heb ik een nieuwtje voor je. Er komt een officiële LBA 3 aan! Kijk maar op 2point21 .com
Man, that intro brings so much nostalgia. I loved this game - I played the demo dozens of times when I was a kid, and I longed for the full game. I've been thinking about playing it again recently...
The way this game truly made you feel like an accidental resistance hero on a foreign planet, while maintaining it's colorful, crisp visual style is an amazing achievement. And that music...
This is an all time best game, the developers & everyone did an awesome job. Thank you for making my childhood fun, i still feel like playing it again, My first PC game. I have one request in general, please make LBA 3 bring back the original team.
Thanks for the review! I played this game with my dad while I was in primary school. I still remember the globe with the invisible tiles and we went quickly on the internet (not too long!) to find the actual way, write it physically in a notebook and then continue. Such good memories! I recently bought the music on vinyl, brings me back
Thanks for this great comment. It really reminds me of my own experience with my sister playing this game and also writing the map down. I also have the vinyl! 😍
OH. MY. GOD. i searched for this game for ages but i forgot how it was called. MAN how i remember how proud i felt after picking and the tunic and throwing the ball to flick the switch. It was something my friend and i couldn't figure out for some time, because we were so small :D
I think the coolest feature of the space suit is the hole in the back of your helmet to let your pony tail hair out, somehow without sucking your brain out by the force of vacuum :3
Thank you for creating this wonderful review!! Little Big Adventure 1 & 2 have so many interesting design and pure fun in the game! I miss my childhood memories when I played this game ^^;;
Back in the day, being 7 years old, my aunt got a new laptop from work. My home pc was crap so I immediately grabbed the laptop to see all on it. I found not much of interest but this charming green CD. Immediately opened it and got hooked by the music, the absolutely stunning intro and the fact that it was a game! I remember being so excited and spending hours trying to understand what I was supposed to do on the game. I never got that far, my uncle played it and I just went on the game wherever he left it to explore and play. I stored the CD though and when it was too weathered, make an ISO image out of it. Years later, it is one of the most memorable experiences to play this game. It stuns me how underrated this game is. I recently bougth the iOS version of LBA1 and completed it. This series is truly magical and I really hope LBA2 comes to iOS soon, as well as a third release which would be a complete joy to play. To anyone who has played it, this is a must have!
Great Review. The nostalgia is too strong with this game. I really wish that one day, we may see a 3rd part of this game. Although the fact that Adeline got closed down doesn't really lift my hopes.
michaeladams94 Thanks! I tried to wake up some nostalgia. There is still hope for a third part as the original team recently got the rights back of Little Big Adventure!
+JBrothersz Love this game! I played it for the first time when I was 3 years old (yes, really!) and have been playing it over again lots of times. Hearing some of its music almost makes me want to cry from nostalgia. By the way, nice channel you have here. Are you Dutch as well?
Replayed it in the last 5 days, bliss. I´ve grown up to this game as my first game ever and also the first RPG like experience. Loved every second of it!
+JBrothersz I think it means a lot to many people, it has that certain warmth that brings back great memories, would love a hd remake, a sequel would be excellent but would the innocence of this game be a hit in the modern game industry - where only fps and zombies seem to garner any attention
You said everything that needed to be said and I share 100% your opinion on this game. And when you look at my nickname, you'll understand that it's my favorite game ever.
Oh such nostalgia. One of the best games of my childhood! A few years back the guys behind this game said they would remake LBA1 but they never did :( They need to put LBA 1 & 2 on Steam and PSN and XBL. Seriously.
This is the main game of my childhood. Despite, playing it nowdays doesn't provide such great emotions and complete diving into this world anymore, its music seems to have more and more sense with each year passing.
I can remember buying LBA1 when it was first released and not knowing what to expect. I was more than surprised how great it was. The story and graphics etc were excellent for that time, but for me it was the soundtrack that blew my mind... I still listen to the music even today, it’s very relaxing and atmospheric.
Good evening. I played this game when I was child, that reminds me the songs, I allways thought that its soundtrack was a kind of symphony, I really liked it. Well I still have the green CD, I used to play it in a Windows 95 PC... Was an amazing experience for me. Thank you for reviewing, and greetings from Bolivia, Cable Car City.
Oh I played and finished this many, many times. Fantastic game. Much better than LBA1 was in every way: graphics, sound, music, characters, pacing, voice acting, world design, the overall feel of the game.
I found this game on CD as a kid and never knew where it came from. I never finished the game but I’m glad to have grown up with it. I got my younger brother to play it and he got much further in the game than me haha. I have gone blind but I still listen to the soundtrack and it brings up fond memories playing the game.
i was 11 when i first played this. im 31 now....where did those 20 years go?? I never got far without cheat codes. mainly used to just run around the begining island. This game really brings me back to my childhood!!
Man i loved this game. I played LBA1 (Relentless) back when i was like 14 or 15. A friend had a dial up 14.4k modem and found a BBS board that had a walkthrough for it. We printed it out on his dot matrix printer and did a play through together. Fun memories. I played LBA2 back in 99. Also such a great game. Unfortunately i've lost both of my game discs. I loved everything about it, the atmosphere, graphics, and especially the music.
When I first ran into this game, I was already 20yo or so. It has appeared in my dreams many many times with mysterious new setups. it is a miracle. it is the game. it stores my good memories.
I used to play this game everyday, when I was in my early teens. Such a good game! I wonder if they'll ever a prequel to this at any time. Its been so many years, and people still play this awesome game!
Hey, you're right!!!! I also heard some of the Twinsen's Odyssey's sound effects on TV. I always thought I was the only one who had noticed that until you! For example, the Magic Ball sound effect is being used several times in local programmes in my country. I'm 100% sure I heard the exact same one. I wonder if those people at the local TV channel also played Twinsen Odyssey or if it was a common sound effect that preceeded LBA. Has anybody else heard the Magic Ball sound anywhere on TV?
PhantomRVM I'm pretty sure that those sound effects are royalty free sound effects. I hear them all the time nowadays. I only showed that program in my video because almost all the sounds are from LBA 2 haha.
I thought the same! They are probably royalty free sound effects. Is it possible to confirm that? Maybe we can track down the original source of those sounds.
I also played this one first. I love it! I sometimes recommend it to others and I tell them that the intro explains the first game pretty well. Like, the plot of the first game is not very complex, you get the point from just watching the intro.
Great game. It still works with windows 8.1. Be sure not to ruin the aspect ratio with the full screen mode. Instead it is possible to adjust the size of the dosbox window making it bigger
Nice review mate. It is funny in this game how small things take you in a huge journey... I miss the old days where I would spent hours in desert island looking for mysteries. This was the best game I played in my life :)
By the way, I don't know if you have played these other games, but together with LBA2, Captain Claw and Dungeon Kepper are games that were a big part of my childhood, I don't know if you have ever made reviews of these games, but if you haven't, check it out x)
+Shiro I know right... But I let the music speak for itself, listen to the background so you can hear it :) And your right, the voice acting is defiantly better!
I adore this game I have done a LP on it n also the first this one of favourite games I heard rumours about a third but I don't know if another will be made
LBA 2 used to be my absolute favorite game before LiS came out. I played both LBA and LBA 2 so many times. Nowadays LiS 1, LBA 2 and DQB 2 are my absolute favorite games.
Because of a bug, I could force the ferry to take me to the desert island without stopping the storm. It really made things awkward and also made it so even desert island had rain. I played both games as a child. Even my father loves them and says they do not make games like these anymore
Prequel suggests that the game was made after this one.. It wasn't its just called the Original.. This is the Sequel thats is.. No prequel.. if there was i'd love to see the rise of the dictator in the first game.. The first game was one of the first games I ever owned along with a number of LucasArts games to.. LBA 1 has this really oppressive atmosphere everywhere has armed patrol and clone teleporters should you get noticed as the worlds most wanted man.. Its great. Its like a isometric Zelda with a more european war vibe.. WW2 stuff like that one of the enemies even look like WW2 soldiers with their helmets.. Theres like bunkers and mounted machine guns.. How you start the first game is also really clear and iconic.. Truly one of the most under-rated games series ever... We can thank EA for not publishing the 3rd one.
What a great game! Sooo many names, places and scenes from the game came back to me from my childhood playthroughs when I watched this review! I remembered that I struggled with a lot of the puzzles (I was young and wasn’t that good at reading english) and after I had beaten the game I re-played it in order to make my own walkthrough-guide and send it to the swedish PC gamer-magazine :D I finished the guide but never sent it! I wonder if I still have it somewhere...?
I spend countless hours in this game when I was a child, completed it I don't know how many times. It was also fun since I am Dutch, I didn't really understand English back at that age. I think this game thought me the language and the more I played, the more I actually understood what was going on. :P
@@JBrothersz oh, I'd love a new game in the series Here in Brazil there was a pc magazine that each month brought two cds, an older (at the time) game they licensed to release with the magazine (at affordable prices) and a cd filled with demos That's how I discovered Twinsen, and until a few years ago, I had no idea it was a sequel. I actually bought the first game, but am having difficulty getting far in it (mostly gameplay and difficulty issues, not quality ones)
nice review mate, i remember playing this game on the day lady diana died, and i was so engrossed i didnt even know what happened until bed time, ah tee hee hee
Very goed my frent. Nie normaal eigenlijk he, hoe origineel dit spel is. Aah de Windows 95 tijd; dat het zelfs dit spel moeilijk vond om niet te haperen.
I just wish there were more video games like this. The industry has gone in the direction of more and more violence rather than inspiring story plots like LBA2
Man this game is the definition of nostalgia for me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this game and how much fun I had playing this. This game was truly a secret treasure that not many played. But if you did it’s definitely one that will stick with you forever. Thank you Twinsen

I’m immediately put in a better mood when I here any song or sound from this game
These are exactly my feelings too. Thanks for sharing!
Yes!! I played when I was like 9 or ten. I think about it all the time. It was amazing how you could hold on to stuff and everything! Just the interactions and different modes you could put twinsen is is so nostalgic to me.
Same here. I never finished the game if I remeber correctly. Maybe it's time to replay.

***** Thank you! When I was young I really liked that ending, but now I think that it's really weird. I wish for LBA 3 too!
i felt the same exact way! thanks for bringing back the memories.
It's 2020, and this is still my favorite game of all time.
Same for me in 2023 🎉
2024 and LBA2 still one of my favorites.

My favorite game, and OMG that soundtrack!
Yes it’s beautiful, Philippe Vachey is the composer..

This game is pure gold still lot of people don't know about it !
Huge part of my childhood

Awww thanks. I played this game when I was 5 years old. Beautiful memories. I wanna cry!!!
No problem. I'll cry with you

Thank you for doing this review.. as a kid this was the first game i had on my pc... i was the only one on the block that had a game like this.. frieds used to come over and we played LBA 2
Camelia Pampa Sounds very much like me as a kid! We also used to play outside like we were on Twinsun!
Nostalgia...
i used to go to my friend's house and watch him play and we'd figure out together how to fix the puzzles as he wasn't that bright

Man, that intro brings so much nostalgia. I loved this game - I played the demo dozens of times when I was a kid, and I longed for the full game. I've been thinking about playing it again recently...
The way this game truly made you feel like an accidental resistance hero on a foreign planet, while maintaining it's colorful, crisp visual style is an amazing achievement. And that music...
This game was made with a lot of passion and love. The ending is such a beatiful experience. The whole game is a jewel! I absolutely love LBA2!
This is an all time best game, the developers & everyone did an awesome job. Thank you for making my childhood fun, i still feel like playing it again, My first PC game. I have one request in general, please make LBA 3 bring back the original team.
I think Frederick Raynal has said he really does want to do it, last I read. He loves the series dearly.
Thanks for the review! I played this game with my dad while I was in primary school. I still remember the globe with the invisible tiles and we went quickly on the internet (not too long!) to find the actual way, write it physically in a notebook and then continue. Such good memories! I recently bought the music on vinyl, brings me back
Thanks for this great comment. It really reminds me of my own experience with my sister playing this game and also writing the map down.
I also have the vinyl! 😍
OH. MY. GOD. i searched for this game for ages but i forgot how it was called. MAN how i remember how proud i felt after picking and the tunic and throwing the ball to flick the switch. It was something my friend and i couldn't figure out for some time, because we were so small :D
Thank you for this wonderful throwback to my first childhood gaming memory.
Loved every second of LBP1 AND 2
LBA is what I meant ;)
Great review! AHHHHHH THE MEMORIES! :D
I think the coolest feature of the space suit is the hole in the back of your helmet to let your pony tail hair out, somehow without sucking your brain out by the force of vacuum :3
3:52 look at that glorious helmet of hair.
Amazing
Beautiful game and beautiful music. The kind that stay with you and give you nostalgia.
Thank you for creating this wonderful review!! Little Big Adventure 1 & 2 have so many interesting design and pure fun in the game! I miss my childhood memories when I played this game ^^;;
Back in the day, being 7 years old, my aunt got a new laptop from work. My home pc was crap so I immediately grabbed the laptop to see all on it. I found not much of interest but this charming green CD. Immediately opened it and got hooked by the music, the absolutely stunning intro and the fact that it was a game! I remember being so excited and spending hours trying to understand what I was supposed to do on the game. I never got that far, my uncle played it and I just went on the game wherever he left it to explore and play. I stored the CD though and when it was too weathered, make an ISO image out of it. Years later, it is one of the most memorable experiences to play this game. It stuns me how underrated this game is. I recently bougth the iOS version of LBA1 and completed it. This series is truly magical and I really hope LBA2 comes to iOS soon, as well as a third release which would be a complete joy to play. To anyone who has played it, this is a must have!
+Carlosrvm1990 That's a great story. I cannot agree more with you! I really hope they'll make a iOS version of LBA 2... just imagine it!
Great video for one of my favorite games of all time!
I really like your review! Please cotinue and make more! :D
I never heard of that game but I might as well check it out!
+MrsCitty Thanks! I never convinced anyone to check this out, you are the first! :D
JBrothersz wow! XD
The review was really good so I thought why not!
One of the best games I've ever played! Your review is excellent! Well detailed.
I've spent the last few months trying to recall what this memory of a game was. Amazing to have figured it out
Great Review. The nostalgia is too strong with this game. I really wish that one day, we may see a 3rd part of this game. Although the fact that Adeline got closed down doesn't really lift my hopes.
michaeladams94 Thanks! I tried to wake up some nostalgia. There is still hope for a third part as the original team recently got the rights back of Little Big Adventure!
+michaeladams94 LBA 1 and 2 are on Steam, so hopefully this is the first step in getting money to develop LBA 3:
store.steampowered.com/sub/80342/
+DNAngel Already bought and beat it :)
michaeladams94 Nice! I will have to buy myself a copy as well as some friends to spread the word! :)
5000 views! Thanks everyone!
+JBrothersz Love this game! I played it for the first time when I was 3 years old (yes, really!) and have been playing it over again lots of times. Hearing some of its music almost makes me want to cry from nostalgia. By the way, nice channel you have here. Are you Dutch as well?
Thanks for your comment! The soundtrack is very nostalgic indeed. And ja ik ben Nederlands ;)
You deserve it, there are millions of LBA fans 😊
Very good review man! LBA 2 was my first ever computer game and still my favourite PC game alongside LBA 1. :)
***** Thanks man! It's my all time favorite game to on PC. The atmosphere is just so unique!
Replayed it in the last 5 days, bliss. I´ve grown up to this game as my first game ever and also the first RPG like experience. Loved every second of it!
Wow, what an excellent, innovative and emotional review. Brings back childhood memories!!
+Ktown Thanks! This game means a lot to me.
+JBrothersz I think it means a lot to many people, it has that certain warmth that brings back great memories, would love a hd remake, a sequel would be excellent but would the innocence of this game be a hit in the modern game industry - where only fps and zombies seem to garner any attention
You said everything that needed to be said and I share 100% your opinion on this game. And when you look at my nickname, you'll understand that it's my favorite game ever.
TheWorldOfTwinsen Great to see another fan of this game! I've listened to your uploads of the LBA 2 soundtrack :)
After 15 years of fandom of this game, I had the chance to meet the man behind the game a month ago, Frédérick Raynal, and it was just awesome.
TheWorldOfTwinsen Wow, dude! That's so cool! I'm very jealous right now.
:D
Oh such nostalgia. One of the best games of my childhood! A few years back the guys behind this game said they would remake LBA1 but they never did :( They need to put LBA 1 & 2 on Steam and PSN and XBL. Seriously.
Sawed-off Orc Yes, they should put LBA 1 & 2 on Steam! I don't know why it isn't on that yet. And yes, this game is my favorite!
+JBrothersz And put it on Steam they have :)
store.steampowered.com/sub/80342/
This is the main game of my childhood. Despite, playing it nowdays doesn't provide such great emotions and complete diving into this world anymore, its music seems to have more and more sense with each year passing.
Oh my crap! I didn't know you could dodge using X nor access dialogues while on "sports mode". After all those years......I think I need a moment!
TilleGaertner it makes the game a lot more fun. Especially the dodging!
Great review once again! This game was a big part of my childhood and I always get nostalgic seeing stuff related to it. Fingers crossed for an LBA 3.
+DNAngel Thanks mate! Let's hope it will happen someday!
I'd played this game as a child with my sister, it means a lot to me. The BSO always bring tears to my eyes. One of the best games ever created.
I can remember buying LBA1 when it was first released and not knowing what to expect. I was more than surprised how great it was. The story and graphics etc were excellent for that time, but for me it was the soundtrack that blew my mind... I still listen to the music even today, it’s very relaxing and atmospheric.
Absolutely loved this game! Thanks for this review, brought back great memories!
this game made my childhood. awesome review! i hope some day play another game so good as this one
Good evening. I played this game when I was child, that reminds me the songs, I allways thought that its soundtrack was a kind of symphony, I really liked it. Well I still have the green CD, I used to play it in a Windows 95 PC... Was an amazing experience for me. Thank you for reviewing, and greetings from Bolivia, Cable Car City.
Oh I played and finished this many, many times. Fantastic game. Much better than LBA1 was in every way: graphics, sound, music, characters, pacing, voice acting, world design, the overall feel of the game.
I found this game on CD as a kid and never knew where it came from. I never finished the game but I’m glad to have grown up with it. I got my younger brother to play it and he got much further in the game than me haha. I have gone blind but I still listen to the soundtrack and it brings up fond memories playing the game.
i was 11 when i first played this. im 31 now....where did those 20 years go?? I never got far without cheat codes. mainly used to just run around the begining island. This game really brings me back to my childhood!!
Durzo86 it's never too late to finish it my friend!
LBA is part of my youth. Exciting adventures I had with Twinsen on the interesting planet Twinsan
5:00 come to papa come to papaaa!!
Man i loved this game. I played LBA1 (Relentless) back when i was like 14 or 15. A friend had a dial up 14.4k modem and found a BBS board that had a walkthrough for it. We printed it out on his dot matrix printer and did a play through together. Fun memories.
I played LBA2 back in 99. Also such a great game. Unfortunately i've lost both of my game discs.
I loved everything about it, the atmosphere, graphics, and especially the music.
I really loved this game when i was young, finished it so many time, great video.
Thanks :D
Loved the review! Thank you. Very nostalgic for for me. I was 17 at the time.
When I first ran into this game, I was already 20yo or so. It has appeared in my dreams many many times with mysterious new setups. it is a miracle. it is the game. it stores my good memories.
I like the review, good job! I played this game when I was a child and for me is one of the best. I hope that they can do the third edition of LBA.
Pedro Marfil Thanks! I hope so too, there is still a chance!
Loved this game as a kid, thank you for your great review on both this and the original.
I used to play this game everyday, when I was in my early teens. Such a good game! I wonder if they'll ever a prequel to this at any time. Its been so many years, and people still play this awesome game!
Thanks for your comment :D
The maker of this game is now finishing his new game 2Dark. You better check it out because it looks awesome!
Hey, you're right!!!! I also heard some of the Twinsen's Odyssey's sound effects on TV. I always thought I was the only one who had noticed that until you! For example, the Magic Ball sound effect is being used several times in local programmes in my country. I'm 100% sure I heard the exact same one. I wonder if those people at the local TV channel also played Twinsen Odyssey or if it was a common sound effect that preceeded LBA. Has anybody else heard the Magic Ball sound anywhere on TV?
PhantomRVM I'm pretty sure that those sound effects are royalty free sound effects. I hear them all the time nowadays. I only showed that program in my video because almost all the sounds are from LBA 2 haha.
I thought the same! They are probably royalty free sound effects. Is it possible to confirm that? Maybe we can track down the original source of those sounds.
I also played this one first. I love it! I sometimes recommend it to others and I tell them that the intro explains the first game pretty well. Like, the plot of the first game is not very complex, you get the point from just watching the intro.
Twinsen was my old friend of my childhood. He is a great alien buddy.
Great game. It still works with windows 8.1. Be sure not to ruin the aspect ratio with the full screen mode. Instead it is possible to adjust the size of the dosbox window making it bigger
Nice review mate. It is funny in this game how small things take you in a huge journey... I miss the old days where I would spent hours in desert island looking for mysteries.
This was the best game I played in my life :)
Sounds like you played and enjoyed the game just like me! :D
JBrothersz And I just realised I can play this on my mac :) just bought the game again haha
By the way, I don't know if you have played these other games, but together with LBA2, Captain Claw and Dungeon Kepper are games that were a big part of my childhood, I don't know if you have ever made reviews of these games, but if you haven't, check it out x)
Guilherme Salles Yeah well, I play it with DosBox :)
Guilherme Salles Thanks, I will check them out!
You're hitting me real hard on the feels 😢😢😢
Bro I’m coming to this 6 years later and
“SHOOTING LASERS FROM YOUR NIPPLES!!”
I gotta say. Well done sir.
Thanks man! Let's shoot some more lasers from our nipples!
the little big adventure video game animation is awesome and amazing to see
You forgot to mention something really important... the voice acting and the music!
+Shiro I know right... But I let the music speak for itself, listen to the background so you can hear it :) And your right, the voice acting is defiantly better!
When I was younger, I used to be so wary on this game, because the Esmers and the Tralu terrified me.
Ross Dubyah Yeah, the Tralu really scared me as a kid. Did you finish the game though?
JBrothersz I did, yeah. About 10 years later lol
I adore this game I have done a LP on it n also the first this one of favourite games I heard rumours about a third but I don't know if another will be made
LBA 2 used to be my absolute favorite game before LiS came out. I played both LBA and LBA 2 so many times. Nowadays LiS 1, LBA 2 and DQB 2 are my absolute favorite games.
LBA 1 and 2 are my favorite games. I was really young when my bro bought it, loved it ever since.
this was my first game too,
I complete it several times,.
More than 15 years later, it still my favorite game
Because of a bug, I could force the ferry to take me to the desert island without stopping the storm. It really made things awkward and also made it so even desert island had rain.
I played both games as a child. Even my father loves them and says they do not make games like these anymore
LBA 1 & 2 Probably the best games I played as a child, it's even fun to play them now.
Great review. I played this as kid and I loved it.
Prequel suggests that the game was made after this one.. It wasn't its just called the Original.. This is the Sequel thats is.. No prequel.. if there was i'd love to see the rise of the dictator in the first game.. The first game was one of the first games I ever owned along with a number of LucasArts games to.. LBA 1 has this really oppressive atmosphere everywhere has armed patrol and clone teleporters should you get noticed as the worlds most wanted man.. Its great. Its like a isometric Zelda with a more european war vibe.. WW2 stuff like that one of the enemies even look like WW2 soldiers with their helmets.. Theres like bunkers and mounted machine guns.. How you start the first game is also really clear and iconic.. Truly one of the most under-rated games series ever... We can thank EA for not publishing the 3rd one.
Wait... there was a dodge option? I finished without it and it was hard as hell
Haha, yup!
What a great game! Sooo many names, places and scenes from the game came back to me from my childhood playthroughs when I watched this review! I remembered that I struggled with a lot of the puzzles (I was young and wasn’t that good at reading english) and after I had beaten the game I re-played it in order to make my own walkthrough-guide and send it to the swedish PC gamer-magazine :D
I finished the guide but never sent it! I wonder if I still have it somewhere...?
I spend countless hours in this game when I was a child, completed it I don't know how many times. It was also fun since I am Dutch, I didn't really understand English back at that age. I think this game thought me the language and the more I played, the more I actually understood what was going on. :P
Great review!
Bought this game again on GoG, still great fun
Thank you so much! Good that you bought it. It will let the new Devs know there is still interest in a new version of the game!
@@JBrothersz oh, I'd love a new game in the series
Here in Brazil there was a pc magazine that each month brought two cds, an older (at the time) game they licensed to release with the magazine (at affordable prices) and a cd filled with demos
That's how I discovered Twinsen, and until a few years ago, I had no idea it was a sequel. I actually bought the first game, but am having difficulty getting far in it (mostly gameplay and difficulty issues, not quality ones)
What a superb game from my childhood. I had a feeling of nostalgia playing Beyond Good and Evil. Also a french game btw
nice review mate, i remember playing this game on the day lady diana died, and i was so engrossed i didnt even know what happened until bed time, ah tee hee hee
My favorite game from my childhood!
Very goed my frent.
Nie normaal eigenlijk he, hoe origineel dit spel is.
Aah de Windows 95 tijd; dat het zelfs dit spel moeilijk vond om niet te haperen.
This game was amazing. Played with my cousin for hours n hours in like 1998.
Good memories! Thanks for the review.
+Alfonso Sintjago No problem! It was a fun review to make!
Fun fact: if you buy a ferry ticket and actualy board the ferry you'll be able to travel to Desert Island during the storm...
I just wish there were more video games like this. The industry has gone in the direction of more and more violence rather than inspiring story plots like LBA2
