🎮 Play Another World Online (DOS)

Released in 1991 by Delphine Software for DOS, Another World is a pioneering cinematic action-platformer. You play as Lester, a young physicist teleported to a hostile alien planet after a laboratory accident. Renowned for its atmospheric vector graphics and lack of dialogue, the game challenges you to survive deadly wildlife and armed guards through careful observation, precise timing, and solving environmental puzzles alongside an alien companion.

How to play

Use the arrow keys to walk, run, jump, and crouch. The action key (typically Space, Alt, or Ctrl) lets you kick or use your weapon. Progress is based on learning the layout of each screen and executing the right sequence of moves to survive.

Tips

• Master the laser pistol: Your weapon has three functions. Tap the action key to shoot, hold it briefly to deploy a temporary defensive shield, and hold it even longer to charge a heavy blast that destroys enemy shields or specific walls.
• Prioritize defense: During shootouts, always set up a shield first before trying to pick off the alien guards, but watch out for their heavy blasts which can destroy your cover.
