       | from Fabien Sanglard.

       | TIL they also built an unreleased sequel to Flashback called
       | Flashback Legends and it looks great:

       | Holy crap, I played this at my friend's house as a child. My main
       | memory of that game is how horrible the English voice actor was
       | when trying to sing and I vaguely remember the ball dynamic and
       | having issues with it being buggier in the second game, maybe.
       | Anyway this is awesome and I wish more developers did this.

       | Awesome. As a kid I loved the aesthetic and sense of wonder and
       | mystery of Little Big Adventure (though I've always found it
       | frustrating to actually play). It's always neat to peel back the
       | curtain to see what makes the classics tick, and great that it
       | can now easily be ported and live on in perpetuity. Long live
       | open source!

       | In highschool my best friend and I discovered LBA and fell in
       | love with it. I'd love to play it again sometime. And look
       | forward to reading more about it. I had completely forgotten
       | about it until now!
