Also titled Out of this World, Another World was one of my childhood favorites. Extremely difficult game to complete, but addicting non-the-less, your goal is to survive and escape this "other world" of aliens, creatures, and scary disintegration laser guns.
This isn't your average platform game. For one, it's so difficult, you are guaranteed to die countless number of times, in every stage of the game. You have to die, in order to learn what not to do, where not to go, and to perfect your timing.
The animation also sets this game apart. The 2d animation, created by Eric Chahi, was so ahead of it's time, people still rave about the game today, almost 15 years later.
But what makes the game especially beautiful, in my opinion, is the story. You team up with an alien fugitive, and with no more communication than simple gestures, you work together to escape a hostile land.
Here is the entire game from start to end. I think it would make a great big-screen action movie. I wonder who would play the ginger hero?
And for those of you who speak French, here is the 'making of' interview with Eric Chahi in 1993.

A collection.
This blog is a running collection of "beautiful things" that I've found on the web. I'm archiving these things here for later use and inspiration, and I've made it public in case something might inspire you too.
Recently I've been stumbling upon a lot of great music that I'd define as "beautiful". So most recent posts will be music affiliated. Think if it as a collection of sounds perhaps.
