I mean there’s humans to interact with, which is fine and dandy, but then there’s walking and talking elephants and rabbits to interact with too. Actually the story is pretty good, it’s more the world and the characters that are a little strange. That said, the year was 1994 and developers were still exploring how controlling characters should work in a 3D environment. If this sounds a little awkward and weird, then yes, you are correct. Finally there’s ‘normal’ Twinsen, which is just used for normal movement and for opening chests ect. Then there’s ‘discreet’ Twinsen if you need to sneak around. Then there’s ‘athletic’ Twinsen that you’ll want to use if you need to run or jump. So you have ‘aggressive’ Twinsen, which you’ll want to use if you need to fight ‘bad guys’. You see, Twinsen has essentially 4 ‘behaviours’ or control styles that have to been changed manually with a press of a button (this was partially ‘fixed’ / ‘modernized’ in the iOS and Android remasters). So, at this point, you’re probably wondering why I called the game bizarre and there’s a number of reasons for this.įirstly, there’s the control scheme. I needed to see everything the game had to offer. ![]() Sure, I was crummy at video games back then and it took me months to manage to escape the prison (essentially the game’s introduction), but I completed the game eventually (in 2008, when I was a student finding absolutely anything to do other than, you know, studying – or getting laid, but that’s a different story) and this was the kind of game where i had to persevere. ![]() I was gripped and engaged from the moment the game starts, with Twinsen having to escape from prison. The music is incredible too and helps to really make the game feel special. Or possible even batshit crazy, but that’s two words.Īnd yet, back in 1994 (or was it 1995?) when I first played Little Big Adventure, at that point, I had never played a game that so successfully created such a vibrant world that felt full of life. If there’s one word I would use to describe the 3D, isometric Adventure game, Little Big Adventure (Relentless: Twinsen’s Adventure in North America), it would probably be bizarre. Consoles: DOS, PC-98, FM Towns, PS1 (later: Android, iOS).
