At the time this was incredible, awesome graphics and belting sound. The intro was a bit like Tron, in a way. I gave this game some stick, found it quite hard and it took a fair while to complete. One of a kind...

Looking back (ok, having downloaded and played it again on my gba), it could be viewed as quite an unforgiving game ~ The intro goes to the game without indication and you should know you have to push up... Yes, I've not yet got past level one yet.. stupid small screen.. I do recall playing it for sometime on me ST and having great fun once I got into the tank in the arena :)

Well its just been released again on the pc in its original glory, also you can scale the graphics to a higher resolution and theres also a missing level in there that never appeared on the 16 bit versions.I was'nt very good at this game not getting very far at all, but i still played it and found it very good.

An all time classic. Unique and brilliant. It's still very playable today!

True Classic. managed to finish this in the end, but it was rather unforgiving! - but it made you go back for more.

Just by seen the introduction I knew it was a great game, it is very inmersive, I reached a point where I didn't wanted to finish it because I hadn't more of that interesting puzzles

a good qaulity intro which was rarer than rocking horse shit for the st. Good graphs and animation, sound was a bit plip plop, but cant have everything.

One of the best games released on the ST Still plays and look good as it did then.

When I was big into my second wave of ST game collecting circa 1994, before I got a PC, I bought this at a used ST software dealer. When my friends with PCs would make fun of my "inferior" computer this was the game that easily measured up to PC game quality and impressed them. It really has that so-called multi-media look to it, except unlike most "movie" games, this one has a thing called gameplay. Awesome, and a technical marvel for the ST.

When i played this game I was about 8 years old so i had no clue about what the hell was going on but i liked kicking the little leeches on the floor and that wolf thing was so freaky I had to run like hell. The main bummer was that we had this game copied so we had to keep resetting the atari until we got the password 'N5' because it was the only combination we knew (As we had no password disk). Anyway, the graphics were superb for the age and that it came on two disks was something major. Now as I could probably understand it much better I would like to get hold of this full rom cos it's a great game. Please e-mail me on cyberjake5000@hotmail.com if you know where I can get the english version of it. PM5K

I figured out how to get out of the cave, and escaped with my alien friend, and got as far as to look out the window and go, "Wow, I sure am in another world now! Ha ha! Get it? Another world!", and then I would go down the elevator and I would have no idea where to go from there. Totally stuck.

Absolutely incredible, and as you've all said many times all ready, genre-defying game. Hell, the game was so good even my parents would play it (And they're extremely anti-computer games). The gameply, the graphics, the sound, the creepy ambience, the rancor pit thingies in the caves :D I think it's unfair though to call Flashback boring, though. It's true that it's nowhere near as good as Another World, but it is a fantastic game in it's own right. The sequel to Flashback, Fade to Black was just a monotone 3rd person shooter. And to BadMrFrosty (Where The Blob when you need him?), there was a sequel to Another World, it was released only on the Sega CD as 'Heart of the Alien', though unfortunately I've never played it.

Always a game i went back to, even after completing it. And that black panther thing on the first level scared the pants off me the first time i met it!

Another World can be found on D-Bug compact disk 30 A/B and Fuzion compact disks 115 and 116.

This game was geeeenius. I bought it and after a while stuck on the first level I broke through and the adventure began. Strange that the first level was so hard, almost as if the author didnt want you to see all the cool stuff if you werent good enough ;). I agree with all the other people here, including the guy who said that flashback stinks compared to this ;). This game made me feel like i was in the story.

Very very cool intro - both graphics and audio. But actually I don't know how to play this game. Can anyone mail me a few introductories or some sort of short manual. In the 3 screen to right I always die from some sort of poisoned arrow...

One of the best games ever made. Fantastic.

Genre buster. Simple as that. This took the 2d platform market and ripped it apart. The game oozed style and sophistication in every department. The only bad thing about this game is that it had to end and they didn't release a sequal. I will never forget the underground caverns and the ending. Still amazingly playable today!

The first time I came across this game It was in the form a demo from a cover disk. I was very impressed and I just HAD to buy the game. I was one of those game that made you go "wow" and set new standards for graphics and sound. Supperb game and all the more fun when you had your chewbacca like friend to help you! :)

One of my all time favourites. I love(ed) this game. New puzzles and great new ending on 3DO version. Flashback is NOT Another World 2. It stinks!!! Boring!!!! The true sequel is "Heart of the Alien" (not Darkness) on Sega MegaCD. You play the part of the "Alien Friend" during the original events. Everything he did to help our scientist leave his world (well...you know the finish).

I love all the stuffs in this game... The universe, design, sounds, packaging... I loved the sequel "flashback" that I've discovered on a Super Nintendo. When I play this game I'm proud to be french. Eric Chahi is the best.

Fantastic storyline, a very absorbing game, and all this great graphics on 2 disks of 720kb each ! How many disks does it take on PC ? I think 5 times as many ! I wish they made Flashback (Another World II) on Atari !
Phil wrote ...2002-01-21 07:28:41
What an amazing game! I dug it out a few weeks ago and finally managed to complete it! Bit of a dissapointing ending, but such a good game (and harddisk installable too!)

Fantastic form of animation - using vector graphics rather than sprites. Wonderful effects.

This is (I would say) one of the greatest games ever made. This genre seems to have all but died out (check out ICO on ps2 - it reminds me of Another World).

"Prince of Persia" type of platform game with awesome graphics and a fantastic outworldish atmosphere! Very frustrating, but great to look at. One of the most impressive intros for any ST game...
