Did you draw that, @Stardisk?

No. The picture was found in the Internet, the label was created with my new tool.

 

Put the box into the wall cache, where you found number 4 

Now I see Mo's in-game model from second game is the best, comparing to others, it seems.

остальные - ааааааааа! РАЗВИДЕТЬ!!!

Well, yes, Mo's in-game model in Big Water Adventure is the best. Except of cutscene models from the same game, they are really great imo.
But I also think that Littlefoot's, Ducky's and Spike's in-game models from Return to the Great Valley are good enough.
I have no idea why nobody could make good Cera's in-game model. Maybe developers didn't like her

THEY WASTED THE SHARPTOOTH JUST LIKE THAT!?  They just have him stand there waiting for the tree to fall on him. And you race a fast biter. WHY ARE THEY RACING WITH A FAST BITER!? SHOULDN'T THE FAST BITER BE CHASING THE GANG!?   

Looks like you have played Big Water Adventure too, haven't you? I also was unpleasantly surprised how easy was the "battle" against sharptooth.
These racing levels don't have any plot justification. But if you win in the race, you'll get 5 treestars, without them you'll collect only 25/30

Looks like all the budget in Big Water Adventure went to Mo.

I think developers didn't make quality models for the others because all the game is pseudo 3D and practically all the playtime you will see the character from the side (and they are looking acceptable). The screenshots in the table were taken from the character select menu.


By the way. if somebody wants, I can record a video of some moments which you are interested.
or make a whole stream of any game in discord

The Land Before Time: Big Water Adventure

I've already observed this game, and it has the worst game models and more boring and simpler gameplay, but the best cutscene models (you'll see them in a comparative table). View my review on this game in this thread

So, there are only gameplay screenshots of this game. Click on an image to view it in full size.



"Hi, Mo!"

...and he joyfully jumps out of the water in response.


Whe-e-e-e-e-e!



Ducky is little Hulk, she fells trees by kick

Animations are not synchronized, so the tree starts falling after the end of the kick animation.
Petrie is NPC who gives hints.


One of 3 racing levels

You have to arrive to finish earlier than unknown dinosaur on the background. Of course you have a lot of obstacles on your way, but not the dinosaur. But you're moving a bit faster than him.


Bonus game with Mo

The only level where you can play as Mo. You have to swim the level, jump through the rings and avoid whirpools, because they swap left and right control buttons. Also Mo can't stop here, you can just to slow down or accelerate him. If you jump through all the 30 rings, there will be a secret cutscene unlocked.


The simple puzzle game by Petrie

But it is the only place of all 3 games where you can control him!

Thank you Sneak!

And now, as I promised, I post the screenshots of the previous two games.
I didn't do a lot of them, only key or funny moments.

The Land Before Time: Return to the Great Valley
Even though this game is quite short and easy, I consider it the best game about LBT-universe for PS1. View my review on this game in this thread


Ancient leafs are very durable and reliable.



Mmm... Yummy!

Actually, it is a game mechanic to carry some items. Here you can see a seed in Littlefoot's mouth, he should bring it to a specific place, and the seed will growth to the plant which can be used as bridge.


Один разорвиебало и диетическую колу
Even though Ducky is the only Gang member with fully functional hands, she also carries items in the mouth.

By the way it is a puzzle level (almost all Ducky's levels are puzzles), and here you should bring the colorful fruit to a predatory plant of the same color ...


...to destroy this monster and go further!

But it is totally harmless and just and obstacle before the next level.


Ducky is very powerful, she can kick big stones!

Screenshots from Big Water Adventure will be post tomorrow. It is 4 AM and I want to sleep a bit.

And finally, I've completed the last LBT PS1 Game - The Land Before Time: Great Valley Racing Adventure

  There is no spoilers alert, just because there are no any storyboard in this game. 

And it was the shortest and the most boring game from these 3 LBT games.

You can play as Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky and Spike. Petrie is not playable (AGAIN!!!) and he just comments what is happening on the screen behind the scenes.
They used the same models in the cutscenes and in the game. The models are... satisfactory. The worst model is Cera, the best is Ducky imo.

The game requires only 4 buttons to control a character - up, left, right, X (to jump). Due to it is a "racing game", characters are running and you can't stop them.
There are 2 game modes - "Obstacle course" and "Racetracks".

The first mode is just passing the tracks with a lot of obstacles (stones, logs, swamps, etc.). There are only 8 different tracks and in the beginning only 4 are avaiable. If you pass the track, there will be shown a cutscene with opening one of closed tracks. Fixed obstacles are just stop you for a second. Moving obstacles (rolling stones, tortoises, etc) do the same. Swamps and same things are just slow you. And nothing can hurt you. Just look at this indestructable Littlefoot, who can walk on hot lava.

But there is one amusing moment. When you start a new game, you can select the difficulty level. Click on the level title to view how it looks.
Easy - the tracks are full of colored treestars. Green = 100 points, yellow = 200, red = 300, violet = 500. To successfully passing the track, you should get a certain amount of points.
Medium - the tracks don't contain any treestarts, but you have to pass the track for the certain time.
Hard merges both previous levels - you have to pass the track for the certain time AND get certain amount of points. Quite challenging imo.

Also there are some flowers presented on the tracks. Red flower give you a high jump. Yellow flower does nothing, but it has its own counter, I don't know why, because this counter doesn't affect anything. Violet flowers gives you ability to go through swamps without getting slower for a short time.

And that's all about the first mode.

The second mode is competitive racing. You can play with friend or with AI-controlled character. By the way, the bot is a quite hard rival. The bot is another Gang Member. But it doesn't selected by random, the pairs are strictly specified: Littlefoot vs Cera, Cera vs Spike, Spike vs Cera, Ducky vs Spike

There are another 8 tracks are available, but they all are accessible in the beginning. Your achievements don't saved here. The tracks also have buffing flowers, but yellow flowers are not counted.
View the screenshot

And that's all about the second mode.

A bit later I'll post some screenshots of other games observed in this thread, and the comparative table of characters' models from all 3 games.

You thought that I've abandoned the project, didn't you?
NO.
I just was too busy, so I had to postpone any creative activity. Sorry for that.

Part 6 is here!
It is a cumulative idea, which has merged ideas by @OwlsCantRead and @ImpracticalDino.


there is a real company named Ducky in our real world, and it produces very expensive keyboards

Spoiler: ShowHide

Well, yes, I've just completed the game "The Land Before Time: Big Water Adventure" for PS1, and now I'm writing this review with the fresh impressions.

---

CAUTION: SPOILERS!

This game is more difficult than Return to the Great Valley, but, unfortunately, less interesting.   

I've spent about 6 or 7 hours to pass it completely.

Why "less interesting"? Because it has 56 levels, but the actual amount of levels is 14. You have to pass the same 14 levels playing as different characters - Littlefoot, Ducky, Cera, Spike. There are no any difference in levels: level structure is the same, collectable items are on the same places, characters don't have any special abilities and have the same parameters (what about Ducky who can push the big stone which is 10 times larger than her). Every character has the same actions. The difference is only in some cutscenes between level groups. Yeah, these 14 levels are divided to 4 groups (The New Water, The Great Landbreak, The Soggy Swamp and The Mountain Pass). The cutscenes between the groups show why your current character has to escort Mo to the Big Water only with Petrie, without others(spoiler: different events which isolate the character from the Gang). Petrie is unplayable, he just gives tips. 

---

What about the game mechanics? They are very boring. There are no enemies (except of one useless sharptooth, which can't harm you and defeated from one punch); no health/life system (so you can fall to the bottom as much as you want), and you need to collect 30 treestars on every level (420 total). The treestars are collected separatedly by every character (so, the maximum amount is 1680  ). Yes, some levels have quite complex places where it is quite hard to reach a treestar, but usually I passed the level less than 2-3 minutes. Sometimes a level can be loaded longer than I play it!
Also 3 of 14 levels are "racing" where you have to reach the end of level faster than other dinosaur.
Even though the game has 3D-graphics, you are playing it in 2D (only left and right direction are available).

---

Every character has only 3 actions - jump, attack (to fall trees to make bridges, push out the rocks and knock down treestars from some trees) and "say hi to Mo". If you press some buttons, your character says "Hi Mo!" and Mo jumps out of water.  Quite funny, but it is necessary to get treestars from water where you can't go. If you are playing as Spike and trigger this action, Petrie says "Mo, Spike says hi!"

---

Petrie and Mo are playable in their own minigames. While you collecting treestars, Petrie unlocks puzzle images in his minigame. There are 27 images (screencaps from LBT9 in quite low quality), every image is divided to 9 pieces (3x3) and you are controlling Petrie to solve the puzzle (in 2D again). Every puzzle I've solved for about 1 minute.

---

Mo's minigame is unlocked when you pass the game 4 times as every playable character. And it is quite short, there are only one level, you need to control Mo while he is swimming automatically (you can move him left/right and change his speed) and you should jump in 30 rings. If you do it, it will unlock the secret cutscene. Quite funny when Mo gets into a whirlpool - the control buttons are reversed (left button moves him to right and etc). But I spent only 10 minutes to complete his only level.

---

Other notes:
Strange thing: I didn't hear the background music, even though it was turned on in the game settings.
The graphics worse than in the "Return to the Great Valley" even though it was released later. Look at this Ducky in the beginning.
Or at this Spike under drugs.


But they used different 3D-models for cutscenes and they look pretty nice.

I'll do the comparative table between the characters from both games (3D playable model and 3D model from cutscene). I think it will be funny.

---

Well, summarizing the above, this game has only one advantage - it is about LBT. But I wouldn't play it again.

---

I wonder why developers didn't use the concept from "Bugs Bunny and Taz: Time Busters" (which was released that years). There you can control 2 characters at the same time by switching control, and both have totally different abilities which you have to combine to go through. I think the LBT game with the same concept would be MASTERPIECE 

All winners, please accept my sincere congratulations
