A masterful adaptation of Chahi's masterpiece, prettier and more complete than the Amiga original. Cinematic, mysterious and still wonderfully striking.

"Captivating"
Vector silhouettes, rotoscoped animation and cinematic framing compose a science-fiction tale of spellbinding restraint. The economy of means, far from impoverishing it, heightens the strangeness of a hostile alien world. This pared-down aesthetic, a pioneer back in 1991, keeps an intact power of evocation.
Another World PAL is the European edition of Éric Chahi's game, the Megadrive port of Delphine Software's masterpiece. Collector value comes from Chahi's cult status in cinematic gaming history and from the Megadrive version remaining one of the most faithful console releases.
Is Another World still worth playing in 2026?
A cinematic platform adventure by Eric Chahi, Another World offers an almost interface free narrative experience where Lester is hurled into a hostile alien world. The minimalist vector art direction, the sublime rotoscope animation and the silent staging remain absolutely timeless. Difficult and demanding in observation, the title remains one of the most striking auteur works of the nineties and a masterpiece of narrative gaming absolutely worth discovering today still without the slightest hesitation truly here indeed in this catalogue.
