[edit] Alien9?

The article says: "The isometric view used in the game was inspired by an old game named Alien9." I wonder if you mean Alien 8? However, I don't know if it is worth mentioning as there were loads of isometric games in the same style. Unless the developers specifically mentioned that game somewhere, and if so maybe the source could be quoted? Pelago 14:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

There is a large POV, and the use of the word "you", which is unencyclopedic. I'll fix it when I have more time. --207.54.102.45 17:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I took the liberty to fiks the "you" references in the article and remove the NPOV tag. 85.166.222.157 13:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)



Source: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/help_to_succeed/exclusive/raynal/raynal.htm "With LBA, I wanted to create an isometric adventure game since I played Alien8 and Knight Lore, I was just waiting for 3D to come to have characters not limited with 8 directions or so."

You are correct with Alien8, however. 88.105.158.74 20:13, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

I have proposed merging the article Emerald moon into this article because it does not warrent its own article. It said to see more about this game, so it should be here. If there is no objections, I or someone can merge the article. -Royalguard11Talk 18:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

If you want to merge it you should at least merge is with Little Big Adventure 2, it's more related to LBA2 than the first game. --elmuerte 19:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sabre most powerful attack

I've just finished LBA n-th time and I'm sure that the most powerful attack with sabre is in Agressive mode, NOT in athletic mode. In athletic mode Twinsen mostly jump backward and forward, in agressive mode he is mostly attacking enemies.

[edit] "Arcane and confusing interface"? (about autosave)

Quote from trivia: "The save system in LBA was much criticized for its arcane and confusing interface. Rather than a simple load and save, the autosave feature saves the game to the same save file/slot. In order to restore a previously saved game, player must first manually copy the saved game to the current save file/slot and reload the current game to continue."

Is it just me or does this not reflect very well how the autosave was meant to be used in the first place? It works quite well actually, and the copying trick is only necessary in case, say, you want to use a friend's savegame. Perhaps this portion should be edited? --Wacko 23:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I've rewritten this part and integrated it into the main article, see this diff. --Wacko 09:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Quality of voice acting"

I understand that as a fan of this game, my opinion is probably considered a bit biased, but I can't help but disagree with the line "The quality of voice acting is generally regarded as being quite poor" I still own the game to this day, and I think the voice acting is fine, a little "cartoonish" but still good quality and well done. I'd like to propose a more neutral phrase to take the place of what I consider to be weasel words, something such as: "The voice acting, albeit cartoonish, was crisp, clear and impressed players"

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Little big adventure 1.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Copyvio?

The section Background copies an entire quote from the game. Isn't this a copyright violation? (Not to mention that this quote isn't very helpful in the article...) Morshem (talk) 03:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
