Rise their hands those who remember this fantastic adventure game on the Amiga!
It’s “Another World”, it was released around 1991 when games were still made by a couple of guys closed in a garage (I think it was the very first game to use motion capture and the lone author used his brother for it). This game was (and still is) a masterpiece, at that time the graphic and the animations were unbelievable. It’s an odd mix of a platformer and adventure with a great gameplay that remembers Dragon’s Lair or Space Ace, like a scripted, interactive animated movie. Each “screen” has one “solution” that you have to figure out so that you can continue with the story so it’s all about discovering the tricks and perform them in order and without errors. The reward is a wonderful, cinematic story and mood that grabs you from the very first second.
They don’t make anymore awesome games like this one.
I’m writing this because there’s now a “remastered version” with high-res graphic and ported on Windows.
There is shareware version that you can upgrade to full for just 7 euros (8 dollars or so). The file is just 23Mb and the game plays so absolutely smoothly. The demo is quite short since you have the introduction and the initial screens only, but it DESERVES to be seen. Believe me. No matter if you have played this game or not, you HAVE TO give it a look. It’s pure, blissful nostalgia.
Btw, I could remember what to do within seconds. It’s a refresh for the memory. Now it’s almost trivial to play but I remember this to be one of the most difficult games EVER. And frightening. I guess we are all getting better at playing games. A constant growth of gaming competence :)
