Another World ist für mich immer noch eines der besten Action/Arcade-Games überhaupt - selten gab es zuvor solch ein Storytelling gepaart mit den (damals) atemberaubenden Charakter-Animationen.



Umso mehr verwundert es mich, dass das Game inzwischen für iOS verfügbar ist - ich kann mir persönlich um ehrlich zu sein nicht vorstellen wie der recht hohe Schwierigkeitsgrad über eine Touch-Steuerung zu meistern ist.
Wie auch immer - hier der Trailer:



Und hier der iTunes-Link (aktuell $4.99 - gebt mir bitte Bescheid sobald eine Android-Fassung verfügbar ist ;))

P.S.
Ist das Release wirklich 20(!!) Jahre her?

Released across more than a dozen platforms since its 1991 debut, Another World has attained cult status among critics and sophisticated gamers alike for its cinematic effects in the graphics, sound and cut scenes.

Another World chronicles the story of a young scientist hurtled through space and time by a nuclear experiment that goes wrong. You assume the role of Lester Knight Chaykin who has to dodge, outwit, and overcome the host of alien monsters and deadly earthquakes that plague the alien landscape he finds himself within. Only a perfect blend of logic and skill will get Lester past the deadly obstacles that lie in wait.
