General Land Before Time / LBT PlayStation One Games
« on: October 25, 2020, 01:16:09 AM »
I didn't find the topic with discussion of the LBT PlayStation One games, so I've decided to create it. Sorry if the same topic exists

Thanks to Sneak who told me about this article on the LBT wiki, and I've learnt that there exist some LBT games. This topic is related only to the PlayStation Games.

 :duckyworriedThis topic can contain spoilers!:duckyworried

So, I've tried to play The Land Before Time: Return to the Great Valley using ePSXe 1.9.0 and USB-gamepad.

Good game, even though the graphics are quite low-poly, but it is OK due to the age and the platform. The model of Spike is the most successful (and the less successful is the model of Cera) imo. Ducky has the most responsive controlling.

But I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe I've missed or didn't understand something, but let me explain.

Looks like I have been passed the whole game for less than 2 hours. I've played as every character from the "select a character" screen, and after the finishing cutscene of the last character, the game showed me "select a character" screen again. Now the selection of any character shows me only the finishing cutscene of the selected character and nothing else can be done. Is it a finish? Or maybe I missed something?

The game is very easy. No enemies, the levels are short and quite simple (except of a couple of places which were quite difficult to pass). Every character has the attacking action, but it is useless due to the absense of enemies. It is used only for activating the shooting flower which shoots the little stone and destroys the big stone, but the flower can be also activated by the headbutt.

I've saw some little creatures which can be attacked (snails, butterflies, dragonflies, etc.), but they were not harmful and couldn't be destroyed, they just moved to another place after attack. Also I've found a lot of plants, which could be attacked, but they just made a sound and nothing else. What is the point of these creatures and plants?

I thought that the creatures will become aggressive on the harder difficulty, so, I've tried to switch the difficulty from easy to hard, but... it just reduces the  amount of collectable items (removes green and yellow treestars) and removes Petrie with his hints. I didn't notice any other changes in the gameplay. I've passed the Littlefoot's part even faster on the hard than on the easy difficult.

So, summarizing the above, the game is too short and too easy. I hope that somebody tells me that I missed a big bunch of content in it...  :littlefoot

Silver Screen / Soviet Land Before Time / Mountain of Dinosaurs
« on: September 17, 2020, 11:24:21 AM »
"Mountain of Dinosaurs" was released in 1967 in USSR.
There is only 1 episode of 9 minutes.
This cartoon would seem hard and/or brutal to somebody.

English subtitles are included.

LBT Projects / Internet Before Time [Updated 2020/11/18]
« on: September 07, 2020, 12:12:30 AM »


This is a very-very strange picture series that came to my mind last week.
These series will show, “What if the Internet was existing before time and LBT-characters used it?”
What would they post in social networks? What comments would they write?

I'll post here the "screenshots" of different social media sites with LBT-characters activity.
Why the word "screenshots" is in quotes? Because every screenshot will be drawn manually by me in vector editor. Every page interface detail, every avatar - everything will be drawn by hand. There will not any photoshopped real screenshots.

As a bonus, I'll post all avatars separately in PNG and high resolution, so the administrators can convert it to new emoticons.

So, this is the first pic from the series!





And the avatars separately:

Also I would like to express my gratitude to ImpracticalDino for supporting my idea and spellchecking texts.


Feel free to share and reupload the pictures from my topic wherever you want!


Total number of emoticons: 30

The Welcome Center / Good day everybody, Stardisk is here...
« on: August 28, 2020, 09:02:01 PM »
can't believe that I have managed to find a LBT community
I'm Stardisk, 28 years old. I'm from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Sorry for spelling mistakes, if they are present.
I develop websites and pay mortgage.

Two weeks ago I rediscovered this great movie series, and I was very surprised that there are 14 parts, because I knew about only 4 or 5 parts.
Last time when I watched LBT was more than 20 years ago... And two weeks ago I accidentally saw an Littlefoot artwork on some entertainment site.
The old forgotten memories returned... I immediately googled info about LBT and found all the parts.
I can't convey in words what I felt while watching...
Even though I vaguely remembered contents of the first four parts, they impressed me stronger than 20 years ago... Other parts I watched for the first time and they also very impressed me...

I have been finding any LBT community for week, but they are completely absent in Russian Internet segment and social networks. Even Reddit can't offer me any active community. And finally, I noticed the link to this forum on the LBT wikia.
It seems there are almost no new members according to the member list. The member before me was registered more than 2 weeks ago.

Glad to see you all. :rhett_smile
