Another Another World Port



Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition
Delphine Software
(2014, originally 1991)
_____________________________________________________________________

You need this game. Not only is it one of the greatest video games ever made, but it's also one of the best pieces of science fiction available in any format.


1992: I stayed home sick from school and asked my dad to rent Street Fighter II or Lost Vikings or something else I had already played a million times. He came home with Out of This World. I was not pleased, but was about to learn that I shouldn't have judged this epic masterpiece by its terrible cover art.


I would like to thank my dad for bestowing the experience upon me that day. I would like to thank Eric Chahi for single-handedly raising my critical bar for video games and sci-fi alike for years still to come.

Steam Quickies #1



Paragon
Meteoric Games
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paragon is a would-be-awesome space simulator rendered unplayable by game-breaking bugs around every corner of the universe. To be fair, the game is still considered "early access". Not to be fair, it costs 15 bucks.

OlliOlli
Roll7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initially, OlliOlli appears to be another running game like Canabalt with a skateboarding gimmick. Nevertheless, it turns out to be a fun little ride while it lasts. It lacks the diversity of Skate or Die and the fluidity of Thrilla's Surfari, and most virtual skaters won't bother to figuratively catch 'em all like they would in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater or Skate, because ultimately it does feel more like a running game successor than a skateboarding game.
