Twinsen's Little Big Adventure 2 Classic

Got LBA2 (which we didn't know was called that, always called it Twinsen's Oddysey) with our family's first home computer purchase back in like 1994. The gameplay was always addicting, but I was a kid and this was one of my first games ever. You start off having to basically learn how to move, its kinda odd having tank controls but when I replay it, it seems fine. Aiming your weapons can be a pain, but again as a kid I had it figured out. When you hit an enemy they bounce to one side, so you turn a little bit and throw again, rinse and repeat. Combat can be HARD due to this stunlock system, so its best to get the jump on opponents or try to cheese the fights. The first dungeon and boss are hard, but I think its mostly due to learning to platform and do ranged combat with tank controls. Once you get it down, the rest of the game becomes much easier. Its one of those save often with multiple saves just in case type of games. As for story, its very light, you basically are trying to find and beat the bad guy, only to discover that he's not even on your planet. Thats sort of how it unfolds, theres more intrigue than that but it's not 'deep'. It's all about gameplay and charachters, as every npc is fully voiced and does at least something. I think there is maybe five NPCs that just says 'hello', everyone else either has something to say or is important in one way or another. Honestly though, me trying to be unbiased and not say this game rules and you should play it is impossible. I have memories of getting in trouble for doodling the characters from the game in elementary school. It's DEFINITELY made for kids, maybe start there, if you have a younger kid, try to enjoy the game together and see the world through their eyes. Knowing exactly where to go and what to do has killed the expeirience for me, and I can't undo it. I still find myself going back for a full playthrough every 5 or so years. Absolute classic. Looks fine for the time imo. Enjoy!

The game is amazing, Only the installer works via DMG on Mac OS X

No other game will ever surpass the importance this game has in my growth. The best adventure ever played, the best atmospheres and the best soundtrack ever. I live on earth but my heart is still on twinsun, zeelich and the emerald moon.

take me back in time to play this game as a kid

Had countless hours of fun with this game growing up, happy to see it now on GoG. They really don't make games like they used to anymore.
