'Another World' aka 'Out of this World' - DOS Nostalgia #6

A creation of Eric Chahi (who did everything but the music for the game), Another World is a game that aged exceptionally well. No HUD, no speech, no useless text, just the good old visual storytelling in this groundbreaking action adventure. Be prepared to die a lot and then cry for more when the game is over.

If you don't own this game already get the the 15th anniversary edition here:

It features slightly updated graphics, high resolution support and is even more balanced then the PC DOS version (which used to be the definitive one). It's only $10 people! Less than two Burger King meals.
Not many people know that the game had a 'sequel' of sorts, 'Heart of the Alien' that was released on Sega CD only. Eric Chahi wasn't directly involved apart from approving some concepts. The game is not as good as 'Another World' and is quite frustrating, but it has a great intro showing your alien buddy and what he was doing when you were separated in the original game. It's worth checking out if you're a fan of the original.
UPDATE:
I was reminded that Eric Chai developed one more game after AW, and that was 'Heart of Darkness' for Windows and PSX. Moby Games page here:

The game is very similar to 'Another World' and looks like it should have been released in '92. But even in 320x240 resolution the spite animations are fantastic and the overall game design is superb.
