www.hardcoregaming101.net/lba/lba.htmA duo of French-developed action-adventure games. I remember mucking with this back in the day but never getting very far, so here's an intro quote from the article: Little Big Adventure, at its core, is an open ended action adventure series in the vein of Falcom’s Ys games or The Legend of Zelda, in which players are tasked with exploring a large world while battling hordes of enemies, speaking with its inhabitants, and solving puzzles along the way.

Two of my favorite games of all god damn time. Didn't realize the Euro PS1 release was so different from the Japanese version. Played the Japanese one a bit, but the load times and awful framerate destroyed the game. Made no darn sense why it ran the way it did or looked as bad as it did other than perhaps they did a lazy job of porting the assets over and managing memory...but still... seriously disappointing port. Going to have to import the PAL version sometime. Looks like the price it commands isn't terribly prohibitive, thank god. Shame LBA2 never got ported to PS1. I recall some magazine (I think Next Generation, but I'd have to go back and check) announcing that it was coming out on PS1, but I'm pretty sure they just got it confused with the announcement of LBA getting ported.

Both these games are on sale on GOG right now, 70% off, at the low low price of $1.79 each.
So I'm gonna take the time to ask this: Is it worth buying them? Do they hold up well?

Never liked them to begin with, so I'd say no.

It's a little hard to know what you're supposed to do next at times (think earlier Zelda games), but in terms of design and graphics, part 2 was incredible for its time IMO. Never played part 1. Have a look at it on Youtube, if you like what you see, give it a shot. I should probably dig up my copy of the game as well, come to think of it. I never finished it.

My local gaming magazine hated both back in the day, so I’ve never really felt compelled to try them. Maybe I’ll give them a shot some day. About the article: - Second paragraph: ”Shortly after the demise of the Dreamcast and the cancellation of Raynal's return to survival horror with ," Missing a word here?
- Giving a Japanese name in parentheses kinda gives the impression of it being the orginal name of the game, which is not the question here.
- Regarding that, the parentheses say ”少し ビッグ アドベンチャー”, but the PSO cover ”リトル ビッグ アドベンチャー”
