Welcome back to the 12 Video Games of Christmas! Today, we're looking at another fluidly animated platformer from the past with Delphine Software's masterpiece: Another World.
Originally released for home computers and consoles in 1991 Another World (or Out of this World) amazed gamers with fluid animation and cinematic presentation that many thought was impossible on a cartridge. Using rotoscoping the visionary developer created a pulse pounding science fiction adventure that roped players into a brilliantly realised world. Who doesn't remember that massive black monster bounding ominously towards them in the background at the beginning of the game?
With remastered sound, HD graphics and achievement support BULKYPIX has given iOS gamers a great little piece of gaming history if they missed out on it originally or they can't play it on an original console anymore. I for one will be sticking to my Mega Drive copy though. Head here to drop some iTunes credit!
It'd be great to hear if anyone has played Another World or the equally excellent Flashback. Share some memories in the comments section everybody!
