Another World	Lexicon Entertainment (author;DotEmu)	2006	Also known as Out Of This World™, Another World is a pioneer action/platformer that released across more than a dozen platforms since its debut in 1991. Along the years, Another World™ has attained cult status among critics and sophisticated gamers alike.*[b]activation limit[/b] - can be activated only 3 times (supposedly this is triggered during installation), before you're meant to buy another license for the game. Only one of the releases used this, most don't.*Mostly contains some improved graphics and music, but offers also classic mode with none of the new data used. 2006-04-14 release was by Eric Chahi himself. Lexicon seems to have published this as "[i]Another World 15th Anniversary Edition[/i]" on 2007-02-23. [quote=dandyboh]includes the "making of" of the game[/quote]	Windows
Another World	Lexicon Entertainment (Icculus;DotEmu)	2013	2013-09-16 saw the release of the native version of this game. It had been enjoyed by Linux gamers previously via engine remakes, visualization, and emulation, with several official outlets providing these options as well. Icculus noted many features of this game made porting simpler than usually. The game has already gotten the OpenGL treatment with the Mac 20th Anniversary Edition. The game originally used a virtual machine to run data, meaning only the virtual machine needed porting rather than the entire game. The 20th Anniversary Edition also saw virtual machine ported to C++ (the original was assembly); Icculus didn't even need to port that, it compiled as-is. The original used textured polygons construed from vector graphics (revolutionary at the time). This was virtually a separate feature from the rest of the game. Both the 20th Anniversary Edition and original were never hard coding their graphics to the video RAM (except for the background image). So this bit can easily be sent to the GPU, no CPU entanglements, no RAM entanglements. What's left to do is, get the image to the desktop, get the sound to speakers, get the input (keybooard or gamepad) to the machine. This native port allows for playing the original or the enhanced 20th Anniversary Edition.	Linux

Another World	Delphine Software	1991	There was only one chance out of one million that such an accident could happen. As for the consequences, nobody could have foreseen them. Certainly not Lester, who finds himself lost in an unknown and utterly hostile world. However, it is in this other world that he will rediscover the genuine meaning of freedom won by fighting, the feeling that each day is a new victory...* [76]* [163]* [7]* [162]* [103]* [7]* [23]* [23]* [17]* [97]*The game allowed switching between PAL and NTSC [i]and[/i] stretching the screen to fit independently. While this was intended to let the user display the image how they preferred on a 4:3 monitor or TV, it had the unintended effect of allowing square pixels and an undistorted image when viewed anamorphicly on a 16:10 monitor. The aspect ratios and letterboxing were intended, widescreen support was not, so the [gametag=widescreen]widescreen[/gametag] tag does not apply here.* [22]* [52]* [37]***The Japanese title of the game is アウターワールド, but I'm unaware which ports were released in Japan to apply this correctly.

Another World	Interplay (Delphine Software)	1992	[media=youtube]l6MwEu2bbPw[/media]***This game is simply one of the best sroller I've ever played. It plays a little like prince of persia. The game is set in a strange alien world. Your job is to make your way out of it. Interesting puzzles, freaky atmosphere and original graphics make this one stand out. One of the best game of it's kind. By the way,if you want to really enjoy it, I suggest you get the Snes version (it's got music..)	MS-DOS

Heart of the Alien: Out of this World part II	Interplay;Virgin (Delphine)	1994	Heart of the Alien is the sequel to the game Out of this World, also known as Another World. The story picks up immediately after the end of the first game. You begin as Lester and his alien friend, "Buddy," land their pterodactyl in the ruins of Buddy's village. Lester was knocked unconscious in their escape, so Buddy lays him down on a cot to rest. The people who used to live in Buddy's village remain enslaved, so he decides to go on a mission to free them. Thus, you control Buddy as he sets off to free the people and find a way to send Lester home. Buddy controls somewhat similarly to how Lester did in the first game. He has some new moves that are provided by his powerful energized whip. Buddy can swing from ceiling in some instances, for example. As a bonus, this Sega CD disc includes the original Out of this World, so that you can seamlessly play both adventures as if they were one long game.* [32]* [27]***This game includes the original 'Out of this World' (also called 'Another World') and 'Out of this World part II'.
