Both titles, Relentless: Twinsen’s Adventure and Twinsen’s Odyssey were gaming classics of the 1990’s. The games were initially developed by Adeline Software International and published by Electronic Arts (Europe) and Activision. The first game came out in 1994, followed by the second in 1997. Players follow Twinsen, a common citizen living under the dictatorship of Dr. Funfrock in the first game, to save the inhabitants of his planet.
Building on its initial success, both games were extremely well received by critics and players in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Brazil. Worldwide sales are estimated at 500,000 copies for the first game and 800,000 copies for the second. These two amazing games were re-released on Steam in 2012 with 200,000 digital copies sold.
A Complete Remaster:
Within these remastered versions of Twinsen’s Odyssey games, players will be able to relive Twinsen’s adventures and travel from island to island, enjoying a number of improvements such as:
