Twinsen - Pilot Episode Demo

By elmuerte at 2006-11-16 17:14

Today .TaKaM released a demo of his platform game: Twinsen
In Twinsen you play the role of Twinsen (in case you are wondering) and once again you have to save Twinsun. Aliens sliced the planet for a reality TV show, so now the world looks like it's from a platform game.

This demo only has one level and two types of enemies. You are equiped with both the sword and the magicball.

You can download the demo here.

MBN's 6th birthday

By elmuerte at 2006-10-08 22:04

The Magicball Network (MBN) celebrates its 6th birthday.

On October 9th, 2000 the new home for Little Big Adventure fans was born. In the past years many of the initial members are still very active on the forum and the community has grown to over 300 active member.

In the past six years a lot of things have happened. More and more became known about how the games are constructed. This resulted in numerous tools to view and modify the game content. Because people started to create mods for the original games, most notable is the LBA Prequel mod.
Besides tools people have started work on reimplementing the LBA1 and 2 engines. Also, Sebasien Vianny (who orignally working on both LBA1 and 2), created an MS Windows port for LBA1: LBAwin. Which will allow you to play the game on modern computers without the need of emulation.
Other team efforts concerning the LBA games are:

Relentless Movie Project - a full blown CGI movie based on LBA1
Encyclopedia Twinsunica - a encyclopedia of the LBA universe.

And then there are a lot of fan creations from drawings, stories and music to even hand made puppets and clay figures.

In short the community around the (almost) 12 years and 9 year old games is still very active.

The Relentless box also contains some additional paper material: a card with a trademark notification and an flyer to order the Relentless strategy guide. Now if we could only get a hold on one of thise guides.

[Sacred Carrot] A new tool: the LBAnimator Studio

By MBN Bot at 2006-10-08 19:30

By Alexandre Fontoura [alexfont]

First of all, sorry for a non-constant update of this website, but I hope with this new tool and the upcoming next version of LBA Story Coder this website could get more updates. The new tool I have to announce is the LBAnimator Studio, a program to edit and view the LBA1 3D models and animations. This program was motivated by the LBA Prequel project who surely would need something like this to be as perfect as possible. I\'d like you to give some feedbacks about the program and also, if you have some bug or feature to report, please, use the Bug Tracking System the way I could have all things saved.

Cover Art

By elmuerte at 2006-06-01 10:04

Yesterday I also scanned the boxes of LBA and Twinsen's Odyssey I have here. And I've put them online here:

It would be nice if we could complete the collection with all releases. So if you have a release that isn't there yet please scan all parts of it. Don't take cover art images from other sites (like mobygames), unless they are of a high quality and don't contain watermarks.

LBA1 playable using MS Virtual PC

By elmuerte at 2006-05-17 14:27

According to this entry on Ben Armstrong's blog LBA1 "runs very well under Virtual PC".
Ben Armstrong is the program manager of the Virtual Machine team at Microsoft.

So if you can't get LBA1 to work using DosBox or LBAwin you can give it a try with MS Vritual PC.

I wonder if it can also properly run LBA2.

Scans from the French Generation 4 magazine

By elmuerte at 2006-04-05 16:35

lbadream submitted 15 scanned pages from the French gaming magazine Generation 4.

LBA1 Review

LBA2 Review

Quite long reviews. The gaming magazines I used to read only had 2 to 4 pages for a review. In case of a 4 page review it was usually the month's special (yes, that includes all the screenshots).
