Old game makes an Atari flashback February 24th, 2005
Who didn't love 'Another World' when it was released for the ST? Fantastic new concept with vectorized animations and cinematic scenes. Demos would later mimick the idea (Froggies over the fence anyone?) and today almost all games have vectorized cutscenes and animations.

However, in 1992 Atari ST owners were green of anger when the ST-version of the follow-up to Another World was dropped. Especially after screenshots and everything had been published from the ST.

The follow up was released on the Amiga, later on the PC, Jaguar and possibly many more formats.

A few years ago, an open-source project to re-implement the engine used in Another World and the follow up 'Flashback' was started. These days the engines work, and the games are fully playable. So today, Adam K released an Atari port of the Flashback game engine. The port requires a quick Atari to run well, Adam guesses a TT or CT2 will be suffient.

However, the engine also needs data to be playable. Searching the net for a little while, I found the complete DOS-game for download (which seemed like a normal nostalgia page with downloads of old games) - I've took out the data files from that and put it in a separate archive to download as well.
