An enhanced version at the base quite confusing... The gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with the original gameplay, if it just seem, in fact, more maneuverable to the mouse my nostalgia is blocking me there:)
Very much the old version is included! What happiness!
Even if we admit it, the gameplay is a "purge". He embodies himself as "better" at the beginning of 3D. Turning on oneself, having to select its "posture", the chains of damage that can lead to an infinite loop until death etc... will be clearly off putting for a young player who sees there, a number of "unlikely choices".
Despite its pretty dated gameplay (1994!) and which to "mal viellie" (control go against everything that we would do today), LBA remains a must, a legend of the video games that could be put alongside alone in the dark other creation of the awesome Frédérique Raynal .
A game to do, although today it seems frustrating, unfair, relatively difficult and unmanageable, it is in my opinion a terminal of the history of video games.
Moreover, it is not very expensive €3 to €6 (depending on the balances), it can be obtained at €5 with the 2. And little worth the investment for any nostalgic who would have trouble running the original versions (if they still have them), or would have just lost them. Likewise for those who would like to tackle some legend of the video games. The experience in your blows, even if the gameplay, as indicated, to very badly viellie.

I loved this Game as a Kid and I still think it's great. A Game that is child-friendly despite the combat game system, contains every amount Of Rätzel and some funny Dialogues. Too bad that it hasn't been a third Part so far.
Go to the Game:-Many Puzzle/Rätzel-Varied Action with good difficulty-Beautiful scenes, Creatures, Dialogues-Great Story-Child-friendly note to the original Version: I currently play the Game with Keyboard (as Original Version) and this has the Disadvantages-that, on the one hand, the sound had to be set for me (editing the Config files).
-which, on the other hand, Is a bit more difficult to aim with the Ball.
Since I had played the Game with Keyboard at that time, I wanted to play it with Keyboard again. Especially since the Enhancedversion deviates somewhat from the Originals.
Note on the enhanced Version: I had started this Version and finished it again after a short Time. This was because the Control seemed unusual to me on the one hand and unwieldy On the other (Mouse control). But If you play the Enhanced Version with Controllers, it's quite Fun! The Game content may seem to be the same, but the Controller controls are very pleasant and cleverly dissolved and you can even set the Camera (Zoom). In General, the Graphics seem a little better.
Note: I don't know if you need to install Dosbox for the original Version, as it had been installed with me before or if the Game will be installed at Steam with Dosbox.
As an LBA fan, however, I can only recommend the Purchase of LBA1 and LBA2 and hope that at some point a third Part will come out (hopefully with the Choice between Keyboard Control & Controller)
