Ya know for a guy who animated Woolie and Pat, you seem really polite and level headed

I had ZERO clue that this game existed before this video, and my life is now 100% better knowing it does exist.

Wow, this might be my spouse's favorite childhood game, and he introduced it to me some years ago. Took me a while to finish, but I enjoyed its charm and how much my spouse talked about it. We even kept a lot of the soundtrack in our playlists to enjoy now and again years afterward. I can't believe I still remember sound bytes like "Rabbibunni melba!" or the protagonist's child-like grunts and growls when in aggressive mode. If I recall it took FOREVER for one of the creators to get those rights back, but good on him. I'm going to check out that other game some time. Thanks for this review, I look forward to sharing it with one of the game's super fans, haha.

Man, I couldn't imagine my first experience with Twisen's Odyssey being devoid of music. Stepping out of your house and hearing the Empire theme by Philippe Vachey along with the rain is an experience that is etched into my brain forever.

It's magnificent, epic. The whole soundtrack is wonderful is highly nostagic, especially if you played the game as a child and are now revisiting it over 20 years later (like me).

I was born in 96 and this is the game that got me into gaming as a whole. My mom (amazingly enough) used to be a "gamer" back in the days. I was around 4-5 years old and we would play this. I'm from Sweden so I didn't know anything that they were saying in the game at the time. But my mom got stuck at some points in the game, but me being a stubborn little shit that I was, tried everything and basically brute-forced my way through the game along with her. Somewhere along the road she unfortunately stopped playing games. But we still talk about LBA2 and other games that we (mostly she) used to play. Even though some things are really bad by todays standard (especially the voice acting) I can't help to find it charming. I guess I should thank nostalgia for that. Thanks for the video man. Even though I've replayed it countless times since my childhood, it's great to see other people that enjoyed it as much as me.

It's my all time favourite game. I've played it as a child in the 90s and it was sooo hard! My dad had to help me several times and it took us many months to finish the game. Nowadays I finish the game in one day. But I still love it. I love it how you start so innocently wanting to heal your dinofly and later you have to save your planet.

I can't believe this was your first time doing a video like this. You are a natural.

Great video. This game was an important part of my childhood, the music is timeless.

This game brings me so many memories. My first contact with it was with a demo and I remember having chickenpox right after I played it. I showed the demo to a friend and his parents later purchased the game for him. I borrowed it a few times. We got stuck on the Francos/Knarta fragment key. The note from the mayor didn't help, probably due to a mistranslation. Oh yeah, the game was translated to Brazilian Portuguese but the quality wasn't the best. As you can imagine, it wasn't a popular game. So there wasn't many walkthrough for it. It took a while and internet access to find the proper location for the fragment key. I've finished this game 4 times in different decades of my life and it still amazes me. And every one I know that played it back then, remembers it with love. Thanks for the review

On another note, I need to give this game a go in english, as I played it in french back then. The english dialogues look a lot less serious like wth was Twinsen making a joke at Funfroc) and the voice acting more involved. Also I'm shocked at how I did most of the things you mentioned in the video as a 7 yo kid back in 1997 despite there being no internet back then to share tips and stuff. I'm pretty sure I've always done the crystal skip and never went through the "proper" path. Doing the ferry skip by accident is also how I first got to Desert Island (in my version of the game, the ferry was still docked during the rain so trying to use the ticket there just made sense. Strangely in your version they removed the ferry but kept the exploit) and I had no idea what was going on with the aliens and stuff since I didn't see them land. I also had arachnophobia so to enter the cave to the game's first Boss and free the lighthouse guard I had mastered the art of jumping directly onto the cliff to skip the spider enemy, while hitting a slope so Twinsen would slide and avoid fall damage. Also the very first time I saw lava in the game I had an "appel du vide"-type reaction that made me jump into the lava right away to see what would happen. Seeing Twinsen's texture become lava-like as he sinks and flails into lava without so much as a scream has haunted my dreams as a kid. I also remained stuck on the Desert island for a long time because I was so fucking scared of the school of magic's entrance. That scary moving face really did its job. (also that gnome in the cemetery calling for help while bats sweep to try and hit you reinforced the panic)

I had a very similar experience with this game growing up, but it was a game i would borrow from a friend constantly, it had those big pc-game packaging things that always gripped my attention. I was always amazed with the length of the game, being used to much shorter games at the time, so just the fact that the game continued after you fixed the stormy weather was mind boggling to me. And a note on the music, i don't know if you ever got to hear it, but the installation music for the game is a real banger.

i remember playing Little Big Adventure 1 at a store as a kid on a demo computer while i waited for my dad to finish buying stuff... it always seemed so intriguingly mysterious, like i was gonna get isekai’d into it

Animations, games and now game dissection videos? Amazing work!

I'm totally in same boat. Played this game super young, finished it (a rarity for me at the time) and loooved it. The sense of adventure and discovery was quite unique. VERY happy to see it get some love

Old silly adventure games like this make me wish I had a computer to play them back in the 90s

I also played it thru a pirated copy. My sister and I had tons of fun playing Got it on steam and we both almost wept hearing the music again after all these years.

Really good video! Would love see more video like this sprinkled in between animations.

My absolute favourite game of my childhood! I played it in 1999 on a Pentium 2 and also had a pirated copy without music! Thank you for this amazing video and trip down nostalgia lane

Played LBA2 as a kid, loved it, bizarre to see you do a piece on this, never hear anyone about it.

I’m a massive fan of hearing people gush about their one weird niche influential game they played as a kid. Awesome video.

The LBAs are amazing. Don't know why there aren't more ppl talking about them. Totally unique games. LBA1 was made in '94 and not many games from that year featured its kind of graphics and music.

They are very underrated!

Tank controls platformer with style switching? Yeah you got my attention I'll give this little gem a gander.

Fuck yeah Little Big Adventure! This game needs more love!

This game and brood war taught met the importance of hotkeys. I always switched modes with F5 through F8. Z for the talk/interact action.

This game is an absolute classic. I'm danish, but I actually played through the whole thing in french once, to prepare for my french exam :)

best childhood game along with dungeon keeper 2

This game and the first are also some of my favorite games from my childhood. I had the first one and beat it and then remember seeing Twinsen's Odyssey in a COMPUSA and had to get the sequel. I was not disappointed. I also purchased them on STEAM to replay them, can't wait!

This is probably the PC game I played the most when I was younger. Amazing game!!!

Always lovely to hear from others who were touched by this game. And I love the extemporaneous structure of this video, just throwing things in that you think are cool or worth mentioning when you feel like it 😅 very charming, like LBA.

God I love this game. I basically grew up with this game and MDK (like you I didn't play the first game til years later) and god they're still so much fun. I try and play these and MDK at least once a year because they have this unique charm and fun to them. Of cool note the original composer created a Kickstarter last year for a Symphonic Suite version of the soundtrack on multiple media forms (WHICH I MISSED!!) which sounds really good. On the android port of 1 it's actually pretty good. DotEmu have done some good mobile ports and this one is done real well. It lets you zoom out the map more and has a pretty well designed control screen that makes use of the touchscreen or you can use Virtual buttons (they also removed the sprinting into walls damage which is huge). Great video that really brought back some memories of playing my own pirated copy back in the day (own the big boxes now though yay). May have to play it myself when I get home. Hope to see more vids like this from you and need to play your game.

The best game of my infancy and ever

Woah, this was great. I would love to see more content like this. Hard to believe this game is on steam, good on em, its downloading right now

I feel like mostly us Europeans remember this game. It was awesome, I'm almost sure I still have the original CD somewhere in my collection... despite never having played the first game, or even understanding English that well which lead me to not really understand the plot/tasks to do.

It looks like something I would’ve liked as a kid.

Ive heard the name before but never actually seen it in action. There is a definite charm to the visuals here and I think I will give it a go here soon. Nice video!

10:50 Marty was flexing decades before DOOM

I just checked GOG and these are both there! Leaving interaction on the video and gonna enjoy them for myself! Thanks for the recommendation!

I can see so much of this game in your animations.

Really liked this video, thanks dude.

I love deep dives into old games I've never heard of.

These games captured my imagination as a child. They were fantastic adventures.

i have never completed lba 2, but it's waiting for me once i finish lba, again. what I did play of lba 2 in the 90s, is it was an amazing game and an upgrade from lba.

Holy crap man , I been trying to remember this games name for ages 😅

I didn't speak english as a child and when I played this I thought twinsen as a girl because of how he sounds when he gets hit

Somehow you having played this game as a child explains your animations...

8:30 Thought you could slip a Skeleton Warriors reference past us, Remerai? I THINK NOT!

Loved the first game back in the day, had no idea there was a sequel until now!

Pretty sure you can also cancel jumps by just pressing the down arrow key. I love this game

I didn’t know about the switching mode thing to stop a jump! I completed it as a child but it was sooo hard. This would have made it easier

Best french game ever!

They are making a new one!!!!

Top 1 or my list of best games I've played, followed by Zelda OoT

this game was magic as a kid, its still is great fun too, some guys are working on a nice remaster that runs through java, even in browser! Even has vr support coming soon :P

12:23 man the music fit perfectly, I dont honestly think this game did anything wrong. One of the best games ever. Cant believe gamespot gave it a score less than 8.5 🤦

My favorite game ever.

I struggled to remember the name of this game a few months ago until my father managed to remind me what it was called - I had played it as a child, but literally all I could remember was the child that threw rocks at you in Twinsun until you kicked him off the roof. If I hadn't remembered that, it would have been lost to time for me - naturally, I've listened to the music over and over again ever since because it's just so damn good

Imagine MCSB without saves.

Sadly only the first game was ported on mobile by Dotemu. You're welcome to vouch for a port of LBA2.

I'd love for a mobile port of LBA 2 as well!

I finished the first game as a child, so many memories. I bought the 2nd on GoG but I’ve never started it. Maybe I’ll get around to finishing Twinsen’s story one of these days.

You should play it! It's even better than the first.

Still waiting for Panoots to finish his playthrough someday

That was a nice trip down memory lane, reminded me of other 3D games in that era. Do you remember oblong confusion of Ecstatica? Or the ghost cowboy insanity of Alone in the Dark 3?

Yeah, I always chose tank controls for Silent Hill

Somebody'll be animating your podcasts soon enough 😋

Another youtuber i watch covered this a bit. I forget who it was now but they talked about this a bit.

You keep mentioning that you stop your jump by changing stance. Im pretty sure you can also hit the down (back) key. You still need to change stance to interfere with the hit animation when you take damage though.

Remerai, can we hear your rendition of the Ferryman song?

Still one of my favourite games of all time. By the way, the reason your music didn't work as a kid was because the games music was actually on the CD as CD Audio tracks you could play in any CD player. I'm guessing your pirated version didn't have those.

fun view at a strange little game

When the point n click adventure has both DMC style switching AND dark souls 1 toggle escape WTF

Would you say the first one is worth playing?

I'd say so, if only to see how big the leap is between the two. It's got a few issues all on its own, though, like how you take damage from sprinting into walls.
