It's Throwback Thursday, and in this week's episode of our ongoing series on older titles big or small that marked us, we're inviting you to (re)discover a classic that will help you escape to... Well... To a Lost Eden. So let's go and talk about dinosaurs! Released in March of 1995, courtesy of the oh-so-classic studio Cryo Interactive, it was praised for both the quality of its graphics, music, and great use of FMV cutscenes, as well as its charmingly-unique setting. You play as a young prince whose kingdom is at war with an evil dinosaur named Morkus Rex. Embarking on a journey to defeat evil forces, traveling around the world to unite humans and dinosaurs in order to rebuild the kingdom and be able to face the tyrant, you'll get to enjoy a classic and easy-going point and click adventure in Lost Eden.
Recommended by Adim, Product Team | Lost Eden holds a special place in my heart, as it's the first game I finished without any guide and because it was a love at first sight. I was instantly blown away by 3D animations, music and full voice acting. Also because it had dinosaurs!! And some of them were talking!!!To me it was a movie, I could be a part of and live in this dino-adventure! Additionally the main character’s name is Adam, so that helped me with the immersion. I remember begging my parents to upgrade our PC with a CD-ROM drive just so I could play this.In terms of gameplay it's very similar to the first Dune and it’s no surprise as it was made by the same creators. They even got the same composer on board - the great Stéphane Picq whose soundtrack for it is just pure awesomeness.If you are looking for a game with a nice plot, point and click elements, great voice acting and amazing music to play over the weekend you just can’t go wrong with this one. And did I mention that it has dinosaurs in it!? |
