Another World - 20th Anniversary Edition (Steam)
Im not certain of all the changes from the previous 15th Anniversery games, but I think there are some new sounds in this version. The game data files seem to be based around a native resolution of 1280x800, although titlescreen intro do look like they could be 1280x1024. I have used the former to avoid cropping in game.
The game is pretty much the original PC Dos version but in hires and with remixed intro/outro music. Non of the ingae music from the console ports.
The game was played on hard difficulty but you wouldn't really know it if your used to the original versions of the game. Extra worm things in the first level which can mess you up when being chased by the beast. I have added a death scene montage at the end (Although is missing a few as I forgot to die at that point in the game Grin )
The game or savesystem requires you to complete the areas in a very specific order else it will forget your progress, and will add extra enemies to throw you off balance as you dont expect them to be there. The game can be quite unstable at times as well. If you already have the steam achievements, I found the game would crash where it would normally give you one.
Its still a great if very short game after all these years. In my view it just needs the cd audio of the SegaCD version to make this the ultimate version. -

I remember when I was 17 I was so mad at having the Amiga, after years of savings I remember I could buy a second hand one at a good price in the city that my family and I went for holidays for a couple of weeks, when we returned home after holidays, I remember I turned on the Amiga and loaded this game which was the first game I bought with the Amiga; all my family (parents, brothers and my brother's wife) were impacted by this game which looked like a movie, we were all night long in front of the TV. I remember that night I felt like in the top of the world, it was one of the happiest days of my life. Thanks AMIGA!!, Thanks ANOTHER WORLD!!.
Good beginning on beautiful amiga plattform
It’s taken me 30 years, but I’ve finally finished this game today! Made myself just sit and play it as I always gave up with the difficulty!
The original version of this was so hard, I didn't even come close to finishing it when I was a kid. I still remember the first time I played it, scared the shit out of me for some reason.
Maybe the one and only iteration ever in the 2D realm of the entire era with so many unique and pioneering, advanced features that were only found much later in the 3D era.
-Vector graphics providing increased sprite size and unmatched animation fluidity both in-game and in cutscenes, with no compare to anything existing prior or during with the kind of available harware (one has to remember we're in '91.)
-Cinematic experience allowing for simultaneous, realtime action on multiple levels like pre-scripted animated events happening in the foreground, playfield and background and sometimes bleeding into the player's action like your alien friend breaking a window to join you, helping you get out of a desperate situation from a vent above (provided you free him before) culminating in shootouts were shots coming from off-camera can actually kill you and you have to defend and take cover against via your forcefields. That level of interaction with massive , chaotic situation only appeared in next-gen FPSs like Call of Duty.
-Pseudo-scripted events allowing a real dregree of intervention from the player like a hostage situation involving your ally in a room where you have multiple choices to free him at your disposal, or other where you barge in a tactical room filled with an enemy squad, where you can choose to spare or kill one in particular that first tried to lock you out, or get killed if you get too close.
-Breakable environnement ransforming the way the player can interact with it (like flooding an entire area that you first have to flee to avoid drowning)
-Seamless integration of cutscenes and action sequences from one level to the other, a feat unmatched by any games in the entire decade left of 2D.
-Multi-camera sequences involving a massive, believabled crowd in a gigantic arena sequence where you can trigger multiple animations and events depending on the buttons you hit before ejecting. Again, darn '91, such feat was beyond groundbreaking, I mean it. It was not supposed to happen yet.
Ok the closest to that would be Super Metroid and to a lesser degree, Super Contra on the Snes, but still none of the two can really equate the cinematic events triggering routinely in AW.
To think that on top of all the above, that game was essentially developed by one guy, old-school.
That title was a seismic shift event in the gaming sphere, and spiritually spawned several 2,5D/3D that appearing sometimes a decade or more later. It that only became a cult years after its initial relase that saw certain success but not as much as it deserved, as it was burried a bit under a montain of titles on so many platforms saturating the publicity space, as one has to keep in mind that the late 80s/early 90s were also in themselves a paradigm shift in the making from 8 to 16 bit gaming.

As an experienced gamer I tell you: this is a masterpiece of the gaming world
This game was innovative and gorgeous, and even smoothly animated on my old 286+ega graphics.
This game was way ahead of its time.
I think this great game deserves a movie. I would love to watch in Cinema. We want Another World Movie.
nobody wants an another world movie. another world IS a movie.
So the first comments on youtube of a video game is, "This game needs a remake" and one of the few times in gaming history the remake is ACTUALLY better than original, it's, "this game deserves a movie." I've had enough of remakes and knockoffs. I want some original games and movies again for G.D. sake.
they could make a movie where the Hadron collider goes wrong, with Lester as the chief scientist
Yeah maybe a movie (unlike the game) would actually be tolerable.
today it would be overblown with action and cgi and they would mess up the story too
Awesome game. I remember a friend giving me a handful of pirated Amiga games and saying you have to try Another World first, its stunning. I played up to being caught in the cage and switched it off. I went to the shop the next morning and bought the game. Brilliant.
Thanks so much for putting this together; I don't think I could have ever completed this game. Had it when I was a kid and revisited it a number of times over the years, but it (esp. the original version) was tough-as-nails and there was just no way I was going to get through it. It's art style, sound, and THAT CINEMA FEEL is just breathtaking though...so getting to just watch and take it all in was quite a treat. :) I really applaud the solo dev that made this; talk about vision and execution through to completion! :)
I posted pretty much the same idea in a longer version, I totally agree with your take. AW is an underrated gem of fundamental importance to 2D gaming. It was a culmination in itself that went way too unnoticed by the majority, burried under tons of games that were getting produced on way too many machines at a time of a new golden age of gaming in the early 90s.
And about the difficulty, once you get the hang of the shoot and cover, specially when you learn that stacking up several pistol shields yields a nearly unbreakable and longer, thicker one, 50% of the difficulty vanishes (yet it remains demanding, intense but fun).
You should try the Snes or Megadrive version mate, it is even harder as Nintendo and Sega overtly stated at the time it had to come to Asian standards as well ahah xD
This game is incredible - it was such a simple concept, but executed with real flair and imagination. The way you made friends with one of the aliens in prison and took turns savings each other's hide was awesome!
Loved this game as a kid and still appreciate it today. Honestly, this game rocks
This game is so original I’ve never seen anything like it
Played this game when i was younger. pissed me off to the point that i never played it again, till now and i finished it. damn game gave me nightmares because i did not finish it.
It's a bad game.
It's like Edge of Tomorrow. Dying so many times, and trying to memorize every step and jump of the way
@@scorpio19771111 Yeah! I'm glad that I can check this off my list from 20+ years ago now that I've finished it.
A shame that the sequel wasn't included in this anniversary.
So many things i remember watching it, and how fast it was possible to do it in the end, just proves you grinded that game for a long while :) But the game is very generous allowing you to continue unlike almost every game back then
Lol, you managed to get further in 10 minutes than I did in about a year.
MASTERPIECE!
I never realised how short the game was, as its orignal release and the 20th Anniversary versions, was still quite hard, having to be pixel perfect in timings of weapons, jumping etc actions.
I smoke a ton of weed before playing the original and man did it make the experience so much better.
This game broke me when I was a kid 😂
5:56 “Max Aruba.” 😉
Nice, even included a death reel. The landing on the flat ground after the long fall was the most painful with the broken legs and harsh thud.
This game is now 30 years old.
The animation in this edition looks like it's straight off cartoon network or something! It's like HD nostalgia.
i finished this on amiga and now am an indie dev. very nice game esp solo roject
I really love this game. I originally played it on the SNES and loved how different it was than all the other games on that system. I recently bought it for $.99 on the Fire HD.. a big difference from $69.99 on the SNES hehe. I like how you can switch between the original and 20th anniversary visuals by swiping 2 fingers to the side. I'd love to see Eric make another game in this series some day.
i remembered that in the original version, there was a glitch to cross the waterfall without draining the water , but when you reach the otherside you were not able to run and cant shot.
It's neat you can press a button and the graphics change between Amiga and new, but I mostly play with the original Graphics. I like that minimalistic yet stylish Pixel-Style more
I love this game. Its the reason that helped me love abes oddysee so much because of the way it is made. Need more games like this format :D
*edit: @15:00 well figured out that guy only helps you once you break the lamp, it opens up the blockade in the tunnel, at least that’s what it seems
But dang the game is frustrating to the max, requires such pixel perfect precision. Actually got trophy for not giving up after dying constantly.
Thanks for the immense help via your playthrough!
Love menu music.
Me too! Sadly I can't find it anywhere on UA-cam
Wow I remember when this game came out. It really was amazing. Great video.
Flashback: The Quest for Identity also needs a remake as well.

Im just here for the death reel. I dont remember the ending, but I remember every single way to die in vivid detail.
42 years and still i find this game so difficult. This game really is a masterpieace ahead if its time in regards of cinematic feel nd puzzles. If i have to rate one GOAT game of all times i think this is it. Prince of Persia second.
I didn't realize it was so short.
5:56 "My celular..."
Nice to see Metroid Dread took inspiration from Another World
After more than 20 years since I first played this game I finally finished it
You always remember your first case of Gamer Rage. Your first broken controller out of frustration.
I'm looking at you, Lester 'n Buddy.
I miss the sound-samples for the footsteps of Lester when walking/running (adds some kind of tension) and the monster (adds some more feel for heavyness and else of the monster) in this 20th anniversary edition. Which both were there in the Original game (+ some more samples like the "yeah" at the first jump, but that one is not as important).
but where do they go in the end? dude never gets to go back to his world
he dies
5:55
My caruba.
nice to ruba?
Nyx
"My toolbox."
My suruba
"My drool-bar"
Yeah. I remember my cousin borrowing me a pirate copy on a 3 1/4 disc .. and i spent to many hours to reach 4 stage. It was very difficult and i never finished it. Is very nice watch how it continous..:) nice to see it again!!!
it's not really hard....it's just that the puzzles are very clear.
@@Kevinschart cool great job Kevin
Not counting the non canon and disowned Another World 2 for Sega CD, I wonder what happened to Lester, it is supposed to be an ambiguous ending, but then again, maybe because of ending like that make it more impact.
I say make Another World 2 canon and fucking shoot any dumbasses that try to reverse that decision, Hanferd!
The sequel is Heart of the Alien
oh...so that's how it ended
NO THIS IS A BAD ENDING
That kind of game is no more... :( I spended much time in it, never ended.
Wow. The sounds are great.
You made this game seems effortless
Another World is a great game but it has flaws man! It was made by one guy (2 years of hard work) so the game is very short but it's hard as nails, you'll repeat the same levels over and again. The remake is much better 'cause it's easier (more checkpoints). If you're ready for some pain play the original version.
So I just realized the little radio song the anniversary version adds to Lester's car is a remix of the ending theme.
At 11:20 I thought I'm going to smash my controller to pieces. Managed to pull through with keyboard. I gave up at 15:20. Too frustrating to play the game, not really having fun in the first place, but I can see how breathtaking and innovative it must have been in 1991. I'm too impatient with games to pull through this today.
I made it further into the game that I thought, about half way.
“Limbo” of 90’s
I felt compelled to play Yakety Sax along with 21:10 onward. Yeah it matches up just about perfectly.
I always thought the name of this game was "Out of This World". I played it as a kid at school computer lab 27 years ago. In fact, I typed on UA-cam like that and it appeared the game.
I didn't remember much about this game, just the beginning, the part where that black beast follows the guy. This game looks good for its time, it had nice graphics and at the present time it still looks good.
This is the 20th anniversary remake. It was originally called Another World on Amiga etc, but for SNES and I believe Gensis it was Out of This World, like you and I remember.
Such nostalgia. Very memory. I still sometimes lay my hand on someone's shoulder and declare, "my tu ba"
16:40
Fact: It is possible to beat the game without releasing the beasts.
Anyone know if there is a walkthrough for hard difficulty?
I thought this was called "Out of this world"? Or is this a regional thing?
My very first game in Win 3.1... 🥲🥲🥲
Cuando te quedas sin energía en el arma, que se hace? En el min 10:36 me quedé sin munición para enfrentar al guardia.
My Caruba
oh man i remember playing this on my uncle's touch screen phone (it was a new thing back then) and maybe because it was touch screen so he moved slow? I think i died a million times on the leech thing i swear my patience-
Took me forever to get past the first stage.
I kinda prefer the snes original audio, I wonder if there is a way to use those instead.
20min, I need first time 20 hours.
Im really surprised how short this game is!!
Only Amiga version has the magic.
I think is almost same :) and "out of this world" from snes version is first version without floppy disk change.
I wont FFIX remake not shity port with cheats... And Xenogears and Tenchu 2 from psx remake.
I agree, and I remember I was quite angry because in the DOS version there were a couple of new stages that on the original Amiga aren't.
Doesn't this have an amiga graphics option tough
What's the sequel to this game?
"Heart of the Alien" which was a Sega-CD exclusive. There's a longplay of that game in this channel too.
BlackfootFerret i thought it was called flashback
15:00 ? Guy never shows up. How do you trigger this. Help please because I'm in a huge rush to be done with this crap.
It's the same for me, did you ever figure out how to trigger it?
Been a while since I beat it but if memory serves me correctly you have to be standing innthe right spot and keep shooting the guys coming in and keeping the shield up. Eventually the next scripted even event will happen. This game is just so cryptic for a linear game that it takes a bit of trial and error. I hear Flashback is a much better game. Less of this mess.
Wasn't the car in the intro red?
11:18 Wait, they have balls?
Como se nota que el juego originalmente trataba(Por así decirlo) de que Lester y su amigo Alien se volvían "criminales" profugos para la justicia en esa ciudád donde estaban y todo el tiempo buscaban alguna manera de poder escapar de ahí. Digo esto porque la secuela de Sega CD no la hizo el mismo creador ni él la considera canon
Did he ever got back home?
This game needs a proper update
The biggest disappointment with the game both then and now happens to be the length.
thats funny coz thats what your x says about you
Wow you're a nice person. -_-
Yes but you could see Out of This World and Heart of the Alien as one long game.
It's only short if you know what to do, and don't suffer the many death possibilities every five seconds!
and here i was hoping there'd be that sega cd soundtrack
Man this game REALLY NEEDS the Sega CD soundtrack it made it more amazing ...hope the new console versions will have it
All this happened because shield 1 wasn't active...
Debería haber una película de esto, con actores de verdad
Another world and Universe is best games ever made.
Bekon241 Universe?
def a great and hard game
The music and sounds of the SNES version were so cinematic.
The new graphics does not hit me like the older one
Why doesn't this version have music?
awesome story ..
Omg ....project 23 .. particle accelerator ..
Brilliant game, from start to finish. This is how they made MARIO, yeah.
Overall nice game
11:20,nutshot.guy Kicks the alien in the nuts
funniest part in the game he talks gibberish to lester then all of a sudden ahhhh
It's funnier because the alien's voice becomes a much higher pitch afterward, if you missed it.
Lucky for him that the aliens have their nuts in the same place as humans, I remember a Star Trek episode where that wasn't the case
18:30 ground 'n' pound!
What is the difference between 15th and 20th?
That's a really good question! Go watch both and report back :D
*****
"better"
The 20th has ambience for most areas (like water drops in the cave) and mostly new sound effects.
Lol I look st the time stamp and it’s 24 minutes I played for 3 hours last night and I just launched the ship

Fuckin hell this game sucks af to play it. I regret the 7€ I've spent to buy it. It's nice only if you watch a gameplay with the 100000000000 deaths cut.
