For those of you out there who dig retro gaming, BlackBerry is proving to be great grounds to be on. Aside from the many great Amiga classics already available in BlackBerry World, DotEmu has now unleashed the classic Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition for BlackBerry 10 as well as the BlackBerry PlayBook. Given it is the special edition, this isn't just a straight up untouched port, it's just the opposite really with plenty of improvements.
- 5 languages: English, French, Italian, German and Spanish
- Switch from the original graphics to HD graphics by sliding two fingers on the screen at any time in the game
- New Touch controls specially redesigned or classic D-pad (directional arrows and original action buttons)
- 3 difficulty modes: Normal (easier than the original), Hard (similar to the original) and Hardcore (harder than the original)
- Sound and sound effects are 100% remastered
In speaking of the release, Xavier Liard, DotEmu CEO noted early sales in BlackBerry World have been very promising, leaving the door open for his company to bring more of their games catalogue to the platform, which would be totally awesome. If you're wanting to check Another World out, it'll set you back $4.99 and is available now.
