Too bad it's not LBA 3 and most likely Time Commando 2 :( I'll still play it nonetheless.

Probably the most enthusiastic fansite/forum related to a game released 10+ years ago out there: http://www.magicball.net/


Whoa. Nice find ;) The game looks kinda weird but I'll check it out after I'm done with SH3

Geeze I didn't know this same programmer also made Continuum/Alpha Waves, the original polygon Alone in the Dark, and Toy Commander. I hope he makes a lot more games, very innovative.

Twinsen Little Big Adventure is phenominal!

I still remember very clearly how I bought LBA1 at toy r'us for $4 in like '97. It was in the bargain bin with a lot of shitty games, kinda like finding treasure hidden in a lot of crap. Good times...

LBA1 was made in 1994. Even in 97 I was amazed at the game's graphics. Fallout was released in 97 and LBA graphics > Fallout. I mean this game was in Doom 1's period and looked like the Sims...

Quality of LBA soundtrack only behind Chrono Cross.

I'm going to have to give LBA another shot sometime. I tried it back in the day, but I was raised on Sierra adventure games. LBA was just too different for me to appreciate.
