Popular games for collection Another World
Out of This World (Another World in Europe) is a cinematic platformer that uses vector-based graphics and rotoscoped animations to deliver a minimalistic yet expressive visual style. It features a combination of action, platforming, and puzzle-solving mechanics, with a deliberate lack of HUD and textual guidance. Gameplay emphasizes trial-and-error, timing, and exploration, with a limited checkpoint system. In 2005, a homebrew port of the Atari ST version was released for the Game Boy Advance, officially allowed by Éric Chahi to be published with the original assets.
This is an updated version of Another World (also known as Out of This World) for the 20th anniversary of the original game. It is adapted for mobile devices offering both touch controls and a virtual D-pad. The backgrounds are reworked for higher resolutions with subtler shades of light, and crisper detail and edges to the polygons and animations. It is still possible to switch to the original graphics. This version also contains remastered sound effects and three difficulty modes.
The Jaguar port of Another World was meant to be released by Interplay in 1994, but ended up being cancelled. It was later updated and released version in 2013 and is playable in the original graphics 16-color mode and Deluxe 15th Anniversary graphics 256-color mode. It can be played in normal and speed-run modes.
The version of Out of This World (Another World) for the 3DO is very different from the other ports because of its own visual style, using rasterized graphics, which were criticized by the creator of the original version.
After the release of the first version for Amiga and Atari ST, some complaints about the short length of the game became known by the publisher, and the main developer created a new level to expand the game to the DOS and Macintosh ports.
After acquiring the rights for Another World from Delphine Software, the original developer decided to, along with the company Magic Productions, port the game to Symbian-powered phones and Windows Mobile. This port would be the basis for the later Windows version used in subsequent re-releases. Alongside some technical improvements, the original developer also changed some parts which he found were not fitting with the pace of the game.
