Thanks for the link... I wasn't surprised that 'Another World' a.k.a. 'Out of This World' made the list. They tried to bring it to the Sega CD but it flew under the radar when that device didn't sell well.

There is one game I didn't notice that I think should have made the list, and it's a game called "MoonStone". It was the most violent and bloody 2D game ever made.

Some of the titles were later released for the PC... like Worms and Lemmings.


Here is a fun fact:

Lemmings was developed by DMA design. When asked what DMA stood for, the developers said, "Doesn't Mean Anything". They later became 'Rockstar Games' and made the GTA games. They are also responsible for Max Payne.

The Amiga computer really produced a lot of great 3rd party game developers. Many of which are still making games today.


Another fun fact:

Pinball Dreams was noted to be one of the best all time pinball sims. It was created by Digital Illusions who later became D.I.C.E. and recently developed Battlefield 2142.


Cool thread. I'll have to post a list of the games that I thought was most Influential to me... where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

There are some good titles on that list, but I don't like Syndicate being on it. Not sure why, but I never really cared for that game. Might've been the excessively long load times, coupled with slow gameplay. Seeing that screenshot of Another World makes me want to play it here. I think I will! Cannon Fodder was a really cool game, and one I've felt several times over the past 15 years that I wish they'd make a new version of. I bought Commandos 3 thinking it might be similar, but it wasn't... Commandos was too complex for its own good. Conversely, Cannon Fodder got down to the basics for some interesting fun.

PS: I actually would've rather seen just a "Top 10 Best Amiga games" rather than "influential" list, but alas.

Just played some Another World here...

I actually downloaded my version from here: http://www.anotherworld.fr/anotherworld_uk/. I wonder if the proceeds from buying it from this site would go straight(er) to the original creator's pocketbook since its his home page.

Here's the WinXP download link for the demo from that site: http://www.anotherworld.fr/download/AnotherWorld_Demo.exe. If I remember correctly, this downloads a somewhat functional demo, but to play more you buy an inexpensive key which unlocks the full version. It cost €7 when I bought it last June. I even wrote to the creator to commend him on the interesting game and he responded.

Regarding gameplay, I'm actually stuck. I can't remember how to get by either of the two enemies seen in the bottom two screenshots I posted above. Frustrating, but an enjoyable frustration since a lot of games today don't leave much to the problem-solving imagination anymore.

PS: One other game that I think of when I think of Another World is Future Wars. Had great graphics for the time, too. I can't seem to find a way to buy it, so if anyone knows how, please let me know! Here's a screenshot from the opening scene of Future Wars adventure game: where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Wow, the energy pistol that you carry in Another World is one of the most satisfying weapons I've ever used in a game. It should really be one of the top 10 or 20 game weapons of all time.

I'm really enjoying figuring out the puzzles; AW reminds me of the great times I had playing Grim Fandango and The Dig, but with a very 'Silent Interlude' vibe.

If you like adventure games and have never played AW, or if you have played a previous version of it, then I enthusiastically recommend that you buy the Collector's Edition. Yes, I'm digging it that much.

Well, I got past those guys! Now I'm stuck at another part! I'm sure you can guess where (the place where there is a prisoner wanting to escape but gets the door shut in his face). I shall figure out what to do soon...

Yeah... Another World / Out of this World... has to be one of the most 'intelligent' 2D platformers I've ever played. Controls reminds me a little of the first 'Prince of Persia'.

The artwork on this game is really amazing. Reminds me a little bit of 'Shadow of the Beast II' but with more shades of blue than you can shack a stick at.

The character has more death seans than any game I've ever played... Well... looks like I'm going to boot up my Amiga emu and start playing it again..

That reminds me, I got to get back to my game reviews.
