The cast of LBA2 or the cast of Grim Fandango? Both had cast 'photos' like this.īefore I go on, I should mention this game’s great innovation: The behaviour system. When you add the fact that Little Big Adventure characters can often be walking sausages, and that they have more character and you won’t mistake them for any of the other sausages, it really stands as a testament to the brilliant design, and care that went into every detail. Quite impressive compared to the mess that is the voice-work and NPC system of Oblivion, a game made 10 years later, that claims to be of incredible scope, where characters voices can change dramatically mid-conversation, and it can be difficult to tell people apart. They were notable back in the 90s for being some of the only games in which every person you enoucntered had their own unique views, voice, and general character. If you build it around world, anything is possible.” Sure Twinsen is the star of these games, but the best thing about them is the wealth of characters you encounter.

Alas the first game is rather hard to come by. The first game was completely in an isometric 3D perspective set entirely on the planet Twinsun. In his first outing Twinsen had to rescue his girlfriend Zoe from the clutches of the evil “FunFrock” – a nasty wizard and dictator of Twinsun, and he must also save the goddess that lives in the planet’s core from said nasty wizard, as he wishes to kill her and steal all her power. It was also released shortly after with the title Relentless: Twinsen’s Adventure. Twinsen’s career as a dress-wearing world saver began at the end of 1994 with Little Big Adventure (Adeline Software International). Loading times were not that bad, but hardly helped by these two standing on the disc. Also, and this is important, I’ve discovered the development of a fan-made Little Big Adventure Prequel! It’s a wonderful universe to get lost in, and I intend to in this blog post, in the hope you’ll dig it out, dust it down, and play it – or if you don’t have it, find it and take your first step into a wonderful new world.

The only reason that happened, though, was because he played a part in making them in the first place with his voice work for Twinsen in Little Big Adventure 2: Twinsen’s Odyssey (Adeline Software International, 1997).

In other news I've changed my name to Eurth.
