This is a step BACK from the DotEmu version. The new non-DotEmu version doesn't even have widescreen or custom resolutions. Just make a search for how to fix this on the forum here on Steam or on GOG and you should be home free. It's also well worth noting that all DosBox releases of LBA have issue in common with mistimed audio tracks (music) and poor midi quality out of the box. Just don't play the "Enhanced Edition" at this point in time and instead launch the original version. This game is still fantastic and truely unique, it's a must for any gamer who may have missed it up until this point. Now don't let the two paragraphs above get you down. The look of the menu have also been changed, having gone from the distinct LBA blue color we know and love to being gray and dull. I'm sorry to say but icons look like they've been made by a 12 year old trying out Photoshop for the first time and fails to retain the original feel of the game. Showing evidence of misplaced priorities on part of the DotEmu team when porting this game from mobile to PC (read Steam), we can see that the main focus of this release has been a change of the aesthetics. Gamepad controls are severly underworked and bugged at this time, where control of the character is snapped at strange angles. While not being my preferred way of playing this game the mouse works mostly alright but detracts from the way I feel this game is meant to be experienced. Contrary to the original which is controlled by keyboard alone this Steam version can only be played using either mouse or a gamepad. The intended main attraction of this "Enhanced Edition" is unmistakenly a port of the mobile version for Android/iOS and as of writing this retains the controls established for said port.
If you have never heard of this games series before and do not intend on playing the mobile port there isn't much more to say stop reading now and get this gem! You won't regret it. I really recommend getting this version not due to the mobile port, but rather due to the original bundled herein.
It's fantastic to finally see the original Little Big Adventure on Steam! The "Enhanced Edition" now available on Steam contains a port of the mobile version along with the original emulated in DosBox. Posted: 20 October, 2015 Edit: Thank you for listening to us DotEmu! This review has been revised due to post-release changes to alleviate some of my and others concerns.
