| Welcome to Another World Almost fifteen years after it was originally released on home computers, the critically acclaimed, genre-spanning and award-winning video game Another World is coming to mobile phone handsets, thanks to Telcogames and developer Magic Productions. Another World will be released in July 2005 for mobile phones using the Symbian operating system. Telcogames will be making it available to all of their global distribution partners, ensuring that mobile phone owners worldwide will be able to find, download and enjoy this classic games title. First created by Eric Chahi in 1991 for the Amiga, Another World (released as Out Of This World in North America) was revolutionary. Praised for it's epic scope, cinematic polygonbased visuals and challenging, immersive gameplay, Another World set new standards for videogames. The game was released on most other platforms of the day, including the Atari ST, Sega Genesis (Saturn), Super Nintendo (Famicom), 3DO and even the PC. Another World places player in the role of Lester Chaykin, a young nuclear scientist. When an experiment goes badly wrong, Lester finds himself transported to Another World ? a strange, desolate and very alien land. Now Lester has to try to survive and find some way ? any way ? back home... Another World is widely regarded as a classic game. It's been described as ?Beautifully cinematic, impressively coherent, challenging and elegant? by online games magazine Idle Thumbs. It has also been voted the Best DOS Game, beating a number legendary titles including Doom II, the Monkey Island series, Duke Nukem 3D, Ultima VI and Wing Commander by visitors to the videogames archive site MobyGames. Another World has been created for the Symbian operating system. Symbian allows the creation of games which are much larger and more sophisticated than is possible using Java. This makes it possible to create games which are comparable in quality to those on dedicated handheld games consoles. There are currently over 32, 000, 000 Symbian phones on the market. Telcogames supports a wide range of Symbian games alongside it's extensive Java catalogue. The company recently released a Symbian games pack in conjunction with The Carphone Warehouse, supplying three Symbian games titles on an MMC. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
