@ GManPerfected : Thank you very much, bought it on Super Nintendo back then and finished it without help. A lot of try and errors and a lot of different death scenes to watch before finishing it (the funniest part were to guess and later know how much energy the Lasergun had and what the right button sequence in the tank was). Super Battle Toads (saw bike level), Addams Family Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (especially the Fridge level), Super Ghouls n' Ghost (the perfect difficulty level), on Super Nintendo and on Mega Drive Genesis : Shadow of the Beast, Contra Hard Corps, Ghouls N' Ghost were more difficult games to beat than Another World (also known as Out of this World) but Another World was probably the most original game created that era. And if you search for similarly original games go for Flashback (SNES version), Heart of Darkness (PS1 version), Oddworld Abe's Odyssey and Oddworld Abe’s Exoddus (PS1). Have a nice day.
That proves one thing. It's not the systems capabilities that make it awesome. It's the person or people that use the systems capabilities to it's full potential to make it awesome! To be honest, I think a lot of modern games aren't doing that quite as much.

I actually picked up on that just today watching my friend play. He couldn’t figure out the timing and I noticed the reflection would stop moving for a second at one point. He didn’t even notice the reflections
@@some_doofus Even though there's not really that much to this game, as far as the size of the world (not that many different screens overall), it is very cleverly laid out to make it seem larger than it is. Kudos to the original programmers for figuring out how to make this game fit on a single game floppy (if I remember correctly).
So glad to see this. I've had momentary, vague memories of this game for a few years but couldn't remember what game it was. I did a few random Google searches from what I could remember from the game and came across this video. This game and its sequel are two of the best games I've ever played.
What a wonderful game, conveying that amount of story via such early computing capabilities. Love the minimalistic design. Clearly a precursor to stuff like Abe.
Lorne Lanning, Oddworld Inhabitants developer, mentioned in an interview in the 90s that his team was inspired by Another World and Flashback and the comparisons are fairly obvious. That original game (Oddysee) was the absolute best!!
This was a unique game. Though it has hardcore moments and those Laser guns where really freaky. It is a very unique game back in the day that I really wanted to see more of it. Like what happened does he returns to Earth and so on
Played this on SNES forever ago, it was one of the first games that made me want to make games myself, Cave Story was the one that pushed me into starting, big respect to Eric Chai, what a legend 👏
Thanks for the video. Thank goodness that's over.. I like the story and aesthetics but not so much the extreme difficulty. I like difficult but this was just absurd.
This is the twentieth anniversary version of the game, so it looks so much better... however I agree with your comment, for the time it came out and the effort to create something like that, it's great.
Solo le puede gustar a los nostalgicos. Como juego es muy mediocre, controles toscos y torpes, intentan hacer un movimiento realista en la epoca, pero es que lo que hacen es cargarse la jugabilidad. He jugado muchos juegos clásicos con mucha mejor sensibilidad en el movimiento. Tampoco tiene sentido la "historia", o lo que sea eso de lo que va el juego, que es ridicula, simplemente te sueltan en ese mundo con bigardos deformes. Me parece un juego lamentable y sobrevalorado, me arrepiento de haber malgastado 4 dólares en esto.
I didn’t have any special feelings for the game itself, but the incompleteness of the story saddened me so much that I’ve been remembering about it for three years now. There is, of course, Axiom Verge, where the prologue is very similar, and the world too, but still feel really sad that there is only prologue and nothing more in AW.
@@burgerface5055 I think it had different names in different markets. Great game and a real mind blower considering the limitations of hardware at the time.
You need to go a few screens back outside then upstairs and then to the room after the staires. There ist a chandelier in it and you need to shoot it down. Then it triggers your AlienFriend
Ah those crisp Amiga sounds, muuuuch better than the Megadrive/Genesis version. Although...Reverb seems to be missing. Guess the Amiga version is still king. When you overcharge and blast a door through, theres a long reverb, whereas on this anniversary edition, the sound just cuts off immidiately.
Hey I remember playing this game a few times and protagonist goes back to his lab while his friend dies in combat. That was my ending. Why can't I find it here?
Cancelled Already There's a sequel that reveals he lives, though it was made without the original creator's involvement. But the original creator had intended for him to live.
I remember back when I was kid I always wondered why this game had such a good sound - soundtrack and all... anybody know why is that the Another World had like another level sound? PC user here btw. Like half of the game had no sound or required special sound cards or drivers to have at least meh sound\music. and AW was totally diffrent... no?
The worst game I've ever played in my life. This shit is pure pretense, they try to be "realistic" with the movements of the character at the time, but the creator all get is to spoil the gameplay and make rough and unplayable controls. The story or whatever you want to tell doesn't make any sense. Overrated game.
Wish there was a commentary to explain what the heck they were doing at each step. 6:10 he shoots at a wall(there was an enemy there in my version) and at 6:28, that enemy below immediately opens his door and starts firing infinitely as soon as I blow open the door above. Turns out he’s actually shooting a switch on the wall, not the enemy that just hasn’t spawned. 🙄 17:10 That door is still open or already destroyed when I drop down to fight the alien there. 😡

GManPerfected I could never get past the beast at the start
I completed it on the atari st I'm now playing it on ps4 and I dont know how the fuck I done it
I did, without help because it didn't exist help at that time nor internet :D
That game has a pretty incredible atmosphere. We truly feel like we are on a different planet.
I like to be on an another world right now :D
Played it on 1991 on Amiga and finished it with no help. I can't believe that looking at it in 2020 it still looks an amazing piece of visual ART
That proves one thing. It's not the systems capabilities that make it awesome. It's the person or people that use the systems capabilities to it's full potential to make it awesome! To be honest, I think a lot of modern games aren't doing that quite as much.
The visuals were upgraded from the Amiga/Genesis/SNES versions for the 15th anniversary. Still amazing
This game was the main source of inspiration for Fumito Ueda to developing Ico.
And you know how many games Ico inspired.
That bit with the reflection of the guard below on the shiny swinging ball is genius. I how many people never caught on to that?
Yeah I would never have figured it out. I'm convinced this game is designed to make the player feel retarded.

Had the same problem too

Yep deffo the oddworld games and Flashback on the snes i think.

@@KilleRB_5883 ah it was such a classic wasn't it! I was fond of Exoddus too and liked to play them back-to-back.
or Heart of Darkness

The world of the alien pics up where this one left off
@@jonathandhogan417Heart of the Alien
This game is the definition of trial and error. Millimeter precision is required and that takes all the fun from it. Damn this game.
Oh! And I thought it was only me failing.
It really does. Great story, cool aesthetics, obnoxious difficulty.
I think that's the way the developers made the game last longer
They had to artificially extend the length of the games back then

never beat it when i was young...glad to see it get finished
Thanks for the video. Thank goodness that's over.. I like the story and aesthetics but not so much the extreme difficulty. I like difficult but this was just absurd.
this game was so realistic on that time.

+bl00p *sigh*
Isn't "Flashback" related to this?
+JustWasted3HoursHere as far as I know they're not. Just released around the same time and both were ahead of their time. I loved flahback
Search for Heart of the Alien. It was a sequel released for Sega CD.
Seriously?
amazing classic from the golden era.
fun fact: this is Hideo Kojima ( creator of MGS, Death Stranding) Favorite game
This game was really ahead of it's time the style of it looked like a fan-game or an indie game

15:44 I killed around 50 of them but this guy is not coming to save me
if i remember, he's stuck in the pipe, you have to shoot the chandelier, like at 11:56, to get him loose!
ericb31 thank you!
Literally took me about 3 months to complete this back in the day!!!!
I learned they made heart of darkness too. Explains so much! Both are ahead of their time
When Pitfall and Prince of Persia have a love child, Another World is that son.
LOVE THIS GAME, WISHED THE CREATORS WOULD'VE COME OUT WITH MORE.
Black the Fall, Little Nightmares, INSIDE - all give tribute to this game by directly referencing some locations
They made heart of darkness which isba game you definitely should play if you liked thisb
This Game Might Be The Mind Blowing Graphically Aspect of The 90s
whatever version this is, it is the best one. the sound and graphics are clearly meant for this platform
This game was so fucking cool when it first came out, and equally difficult.
Wow this game is a short cinematic platformer. The oddworld games take 3 - 5 hours and this takes 20 minutes
I'd say it takes at least 5 hours though because of the difficulty, especially on hard.
I could have sworn this game was called "out of this world"!
It was. Never new why there were two titles
Same here! I think it is
@@burgerface5055 I think it had different names in different markets. Great game and a real mind blower considering the limitations of hardware at the time.
There's actually a third name. It was launched as "Outer World" in Japan.
Was called 'out of this world' in North America apparently.
In the UK it was 'Another World'
When released it was way ahead of its time
Amazing
Thanks man! just what i needed=)
always thought main character somehow returned to Earth, huh, but looks like he will live the rest of his life on this planet
There is something about the graphics that help to tell a story
Great gampley, thank You!
masterpiece
This game scared the living SH*T out of me as a child... The wolf chasing you...
Remerber this old game for sega megadrive this is amazing. Xddddd
In all my years of dyiny in this game I never knew how pathetically bad I was doing.... I never got past the first 5 minutes
With the perfect timing you need with this game it’s absolute balls on an emulator. Good on actual dos tho
When I get to the part where the jailer shoots through the 3 walls, they all just disappear and I can't pass no matter what
But we never know if he got back home again.
At 15:43 the hand never comes for me. Im standing in the exact position. What am i doing wrong!?

Heart of the alien believe it was, my gun kept running out at the worst times lol. This looks polished too, is it jag? So Jag got a better setup?
I still don't know if the ending was a happy ending, a sad ending or a regular ending.
It looks like he stays in that world with his buddy. It depends what he left behind, and what happened on Another World
Ahh… when you turned this game on you know every thing will kill you, lol.
12:27 Thats part i been stuck on, how you do that roll? I can't do that, been thinking you had to run past him into that teleport.
The main character reminds me of the redhead guy from Carmen San Diego
I remember this game when I was kid back when it was on the Dos and the SNES and their is a sleep called Heart Of An Alien
I played this game for a whole year and still couldn't beat it back in the day. So far ahead of its time.
The remake is pretty awesome! So many memories with the snes version so picked up the 30th anniversary edition for ps4! On sale for 2.50 this weekend!

The game is short if you know what to do. Otherwise, it took weeks to finish without help.
Hey I remember playing this game a few times and protagonist goes back to his lab while his friend dies in combat. That was my ending. Why can't I find it here?
15:30 I am stuck on this part, I end up fighting about 10 guys and my friend never comes for me. What am I doing wrong?
Whats up at 6:06 ??? why is there no guard to shoots you right on sight ?
Did he die or just faint out of the pain or something?
I kinda figured he died, but started a revolution that freed the slaves
Cancelled Already There's a sequel that reveals he lives, though it was made without the original creator's involvement. But the original creator had intended for him to live.
06:11 lift level has some quick draw guy who kills me immediately or the friend... yes I go up first for the world reveal. It's so ridiculous!!!!!!!
