Twinsen's Little Big Adventure Classic

This was one of the first computer games I played on a PC, and I replayed it again this year. I enjoyed it as much as the first time. LBA 1 and 2 are true classics, which may have aged, but haven't lost any of their fun.

I've played a lot of games over the years, and forgotten and discarded the majority of them. But I still have the CD for this game (on which it is titled Relentless - I guess they felt it needed a tough name for the US release?). I've never let it go, because back when I was young, this was the first game that really captured me. I'd had fun with lots of games before LBA, but this was the first one that really made me fall in love with its world and characters and story. I'm buying it even though I own the CD (and a windows client is out there) just to show love for the game and signal that it still has fans! It's an action RPG built on 90's controls, so some aspects will probaby seem clunky today, but if you can look past that you'll get a great story revolving around quirky characters, unfolding on a world that is both whimiscal and darkly reminiscent of Earth history. The music is truly superb. Don't miss it!

Few games hold up to our fond memories of them, but LBA is still as charming and fun as it was when I first played it. The controls are simple and intuitive that they do not distract from the game. The graphics were never mind-blowing, but they were colorful and the simple character design added to the charm. If you have not played LBA, it is worth the purchase. The story will keep you playing for hours at time. Do yourself the favor and add LBA to your collection!

I always wanted to play this game as a kid, and never had the chance. This was truly one of the worst over-appreciated games I've ever played. I can only guess the praising reviews are caused by nostalgia goggles. The controls are awful. I can't find the words to describe how uncomfortable it is to play this game. It's ridiculously hard, and not at all rewarding. The plot is boring and all of the characters are plain and forgettable. ---MY EXPERIENCE--- I started playing it. I was trying to figure out everything by myself. I had no idea what to do for a long time, and used a walkthrough. Then I just kept playing while using the walkthrough because it was so hard. It was so ridiculously difficult still, so I just watched playthroughs on YouTube. It was so boring that I just kept skipping through the videos until the end, and found it very lacking. ---THE PLOT--- The plot is so generic. It's the old "things are bad, and you're the only one who can change it because you're special". There never is a reason for why you're special. There is not a single moment that makes you feel like you're the hero everyone say you are. I was so surprised by it, because I always heard this game's plot is amazing. I imagine it just gets mixed with the sequel. ---PLAY THE SEQUEL--- Just go straight to playing the sequel. You won't miss anything. The little there is to know is explained at the beginning, and then it's as if everything occurs in completely different story than that of the first one. The sequel is very much worth playing. It's fun, beautiful, interesting. It has charm and humor that the first game is severely lacking. It's the only installment that is worth your time.

A Good Old Game, so nice to play again!
