Another World art

I’ve already talked about Another World in a previous post, to me it’s one of the most amazing and immersive games I’ve played during all my life (ok, so it’s not so many years but what the heck, my first games had ‘ega’ colors. wooo!).

Another World

Over at 4ColorRebelion they posted a pic from the artwork for the game, to me it’s a masterpiece that truly captures the essence from the game (quest for freedom in an alien world) and it’s almost unbeliavable that it was made by the creator of the game itself – Eric Chahi – which also participated in the music, programming, etc.

I think it’s also funny mentioning the U.S. artwork for the Snes (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) which clearly shows how NOT to make a boxart for a game. Trully horrible. And what’s with the pterodactil? There were no dinossaurs in the game, it’s an alien world.

You should also check the official website for the game which shows several more pieces of artwork, screenshots of the game, behind the scenes and much more, it’s truly inspiring and I recommend everyone to take a look because there’s also a Windows XP version with improved resolution and a mobile version. Nice.
Oh, take a look at the fullscreen picture here.
