Hi everyone,
Now that Gog has started releasing games from french developper Delphine Software (the Moto Racer series) I'd like to start this topic for people who, like me, dream of seeing one day the great games from developper Adeline Software, Delphine's sister-company.
The people from Adeline Soft., led by Frédéric Raynal, are the makers of two absolute gaming masterpieces: Little Big Adventure 1 (1994) and 2 (1997).
LBA was the first computer game I played in its entirety (before that I played Game Boy...), and the design, the dialogs, the music are stil some of the most memorable to me in a game.

I know there are already a few posts about this over the forums
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/games_you_keep_going_back_to/page2
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/what_developer_do_you_miss_most/page1

But this will be the unofficial Adeline thread, before Gog hopefully starts the official one and releases the games!
For a minute there, I was wondering who Adeline Software is. Then you mentioned LBA, and it all came together. I mentioned in another similar wishlist thread about LBA too, that it's so awesome that it's the only game where you can kill yourself by running into a wall.
Sadly, these two games are apparently in the hands of EA now. But masterpieces they are, no doubt about that.

Incidentally, who's that fellow in your avatar?
LBA is an EA IP.

Too many acronyms...

Indeed, let us speak properly: "Little Big Adventure is an Electronic Arts intellectual property."

Incidentally, to je obraz Charlese Baudelairea.

To remain on topic, the main Lba-themed community is hosted on http://forum.magicball.net/
There you can download lbawin, a project dedicated to make LBA compatible with recent systems. You may also browse the Encyclopedia Twinsunica, and find modding resources for the game.

I actually thought so; but at 49x49 pixels, it's hard to be sure.

(And by the by, the final "e" of Baudelaire would be omitted in this case in Czech, i.e. "obraz Charlese Baudelaira". Was that Google translate or do you actually speak our pointlessly complicated language?)

(It's no Google translation, I've been to Prague very often, visiting friends and family. But I never learned the language properly, I'm just good enough to order in a hospoda, or go shopping... And speaking of pointless complicating, the rules for declinating foreign names are really strange, in my opinion)

Given the sheer number of times these 'bring games to GOG' topics come up, acronyms have their uses.
I'd like to see Flashback and Fade to Black here someday. And indeed, it would be great to see Little Big Adventure and Time Commando here on GOG.
LBA would be great. Still hoping for LBA3 one day, just like I'm hoping for Dungeon Keeper 3 :(
What about Little Big Dungeon Keeper? That would be something. That fable game can wait.
LBA 2 is my favorite game of all time. I hope to see it on GOG a.s.a.p.
There is a very strong fan community here: http://www.magicball.net/

I even have a real painting (50x80cm) of the game done by a friend of mine :)
