Also: Mecha-penguins! They explode, and you can buy them. Everywhere you look, there's something cute, from getting the world's most useless jetpack to seeing Twinsen's sword-fi ghting technique. There's a secret you can only get by running into the women's steam baths. My personal favorite is that after the aliens-called Esmers-land on the planet, their secret police try to keep a low profile by donning disguises, leading to cacti and garbage cans taking opportunistic pot-shots at you. The undisputed highlight of the game comes from Twinsen's first encounter with his nemesis, the evil Dark Monk, only to fire off the single most badass line in the history of gaming: “You suck big time, and I'm going to take you out, and I don't mean for pizza!”Įven before that, it's a game of memorable moments. It's not really a comedy, but that doesn't mean you won't laugh at its absurdity on a regular basis. There are frustrating bits, such as struggling with the weak combat, but the adorable characters and goofy animations put a smile on your face almost from the start.
There's something wonderful about playing such a unique game. Could it have anything to do with the friendly alien race that just landed in their spaceships? LBA2picks up later on, as a simple hunt for medicine leads to the discovery that Twinsun's wizards are disappearing. DullPants's evil empire with the help of a magic ball, a fl ying dragon creature, and one of those convenient prophecies that villains must really get sick of. Most of it was spent exploring Twinsun itself, taking down Dr. The rest? Merely detail.īoth LBA games were cult hits in Europe, and they still hold up reasonably well-though the fi rst is a much more fi ddly game (you even take damage if you run into walls). FunFrock and you can buy it on GOG (opens in new tab) for a current price of $3. All you need to know is that the series' main villain is a twisted scientific dictator named Dr. You can even-on second thought, forget that stuff. A hero called Twinsen on a quest to save the world of Twinsun, no matter how confusing that is. The rabbit people living alongside cloned elephants who shoot knock-out bombs from their trunks.
