Another World is a game developed by Éric Chahi in 1991 and was originally published by Delphine Software on the Amiga. The game was remastered twice. The version that I played here is the second remaster (20th Anniversary Edition), which was made by DotEmu and came out on Steam in 2013. It’s an Action/Adventure/Platformer game that is very similar to the original Prince of Persia. They share a lot in common! As you start the game, you get an intro cinematic that presents you with the main character and tells you what’s going on. You are a scientist that is driving to his lab. (He's driving in a sublime Ferrari 288 GTO… Guess that the wage is really decent.) You seem to work on a project related to a particle accelerator. Of course, the weather is bad; it’s rainy, and a thunderbolt comes out just to mess with your lab (that wouldn’t be funny otherwise). Boom! There you go! That whole mess happens to teleport you… to Another World! I hope for your sake that you did not plan anything else for tonight. I just want to mention that it has been a while since I knew this game by name, but I never cared to try it myself until now. I have the perspective of someone who blindly discovered the game. And as the game started already, I must admit that it took me a few seconds (and some deaths too) to realize that the intro had ended and that it was my turn to play. I don’t have the fastest brain in the world 🤦️. |
