Little Big Adventure

Just thought I owe it to everyone to tell them about the two best games ever created.

In both of them you play as Twinsen, who lives on Twinsun, which is a planet with two suns.
You travel to weird and wonderful places in the game and what is really unique is the playstyle.

You have four different 'modes': Normal, Sporty, Aggressive, and Discreet.
Twinsen uses these modes to do different things, eg. hiding in discreet mode, or punching in aggressive mode. His magic ball also is thrown in different ways depending on the mode. The magic ball is the primary combat mechanism, a ball of energy which is thrown at enemies and can also be used to solve puzzles.

One aspect which is absolutely spectacular is the soundtrack, which is composed by a man called Philippe Vachey.

These games are currently both available on GOG.com for only $2.99 which is only around R30

I highly recommend you play them, even if it's just a little bit here and there in your spare time.

Here are the links:
LBA 1
LBA 2

Here is the 'theme tune':

They are my favourite 2 games ever and I don't think anything will ever beat them.

Brilliant games! LBA was the first game I can remember playing until 4 in morning.

I must say though, that playing them now can be quite frustrating. There is so much they could improve with the controls if they were to remake them today.

Man this takes me back...... I remember getting a demo of LBA waaaayyyyy back. After that I just had to get the game.

LBA2 was even better........ where were those links again....? Thanks Pooky.

I played LBA 2 years ago. My dad banned me from playing the game for a while after I took a liking to switching to aggressive mode a little too often.
