Classic Game For Your XDA - "ANOTHER WORLD!"

[crobs808]

This game was originally released on the Mac back in the early 1990's. The author then ported it to PC lter, and now a 3rd party, ith the authors permission of course, has ported it to WM5/WM6, and it is no freeware. The PC version still costs $8.99, but the mobile version is free.

Anyway, it is a very addictive and well made game, and has a huge cult following :)

hey a cannot open the download can you help me pleaase!! I love this game!!

Cool! I played this game when it was released on the PC, and at the time it was impressive: Smooth animations and a sound quality not heard until then (when the most you got were bips) :) . Not to mention that it was a well developed story.

Update: I just installed it on my Samsung i780 and F-S Loox N560, it doesn't work on either :( . So it's probably QVGA compatible only. I will test it on my Touch and see if it works there. BTW, there's a Game Boy Advanced version as well that was ported some years ago.

Yup (BTW, this was also emphasized in my review).

I will test it on my Touch and see if it works there.

It will - see my review.

And MD / SNES too (see my review).

Seems to work fine on the HTC Touch - but how do you exit the game? - had to soft reset to get out of the game.

Assign the left (right?) softkey functionality to Camera to be able to bring up the menu.

Do I have to resign my softkeys on my prophet, too? Why couldn't they make this easier?

[nothin]

sweet lord!
i need to see it on my machine to believe.
this is so incredible.
younger forum users won't probably imagine how shocking such news may be...for few.

This is a really stupid question, but how do you beat that first monster? The only moves he seems to be able to do is the jump kick (up) and the just a regular kick.

thanks,i played it on some kind of emulator few years ago,and it was really interesting,but i came to a part where some bug appeared and the game would just crash...thanks again,i'll be sure to try it:)

run past him...i can't really remember how coz i palyed it some time ago but in the 2. or third scene is some kind of obstacle or an elevation,so play with the monster,lure him to the first scene,then run past...or something like that...anyway you can't kill it

Run to the left, when he's about to jump over you, jump and keep running to the left. In the last screen you'll see a rope over the edge of the rock, jump from there and he'll grab the rope and move from left to right over the monster, then run all the way to the right.

BTW it's a great port. But I have found no simple way to bring up the menu on the HTC Touch. I mapped the camera button to left or right soft-key with no luck. Then I found that if you hold the power button as if you where going to power it off, as soon as the confirmation dialog appears, you can say "no" and the menu of Another World will pop up so you can quit without having to reset or power off.

Doesnt work on the Raphael.

Yeah i have the same troubles on my Touch Cruise.
I mapped left soft key to kamera or voice button (button 4) but it didn't help. Mapping is working in manila 2D, but not in the game :((. So u cannot even enter code to continue in game.

[igalan]

Try to do the same: Hold the power button until a dialog asks to shut down. Cancel and the menu of Another World will appear.

Unfortunately I sold my Touch (to get a Diamond) and I can no longer play it since VGA is not supported :( .

Doesn't work on the Motorola Q. It looks like this:

Please help me. Broken GAPI and/or lack of screen rotation destroy it's value for games, emulators and applications

[crobs808]

Wow, I just checked back...cant believe so many ppl replied to this and know about the game....cool :)

Funny. Works very well on my MotoQ (the original WM5 one, not the newer one Q9).
