Another World was a cult adventure game from the early nineties entirely programmed and designed by Eric Chahi then ported and released by Delphine Software, Interplay or Virgin (depending on the version) around the globe. Some of you may know it as Out of this World, or in Japan as Outer World, where it became one of the very few western games to ever top the charts.

Being a strong defender of abandonware and a really cool dude overall, Chahi recently bought back the rights of the game which turned the GBA amateur port by Foxy into a completely legit and authorized software, avaiable here for all. This ROM was carefully supervised by the original author of the game, who also provided priceless material such as specially remastered versions of the original files for the latest release. Mark this as one step forward for the abandonware scene.

[Edit: Well, this apparently moved enough enthusiasts to completely anihilate Foxy's bandwith in less than 24 hours. His site will be back online soon -Chaz]
