As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. Of course Fallout, Baldur’s Gate, and some other of our most popular titles will always get a lot of attention, but GOG has many more classics to bring you. To help encourage you to explore the dustier reaches of GOG’s catalog, we’re going to be offering a promo on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Think of it as a curated promo on some of GOG’s favorite titles that you may not have played. Whether we’re encouraging you to explore incredible new worlds or inviting you to see how a titanic series got its start, we think every game we’re going to be offering on our GOG Gem Promos will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

After highlighting two great shooters in previous GOG Gem promos it's time for an awesome action-adventure game: Another World known in the USA as Out of This World. Created almost entirely by one person - Éric Chahi - for Delphine Software, the game was one of the biggest hits on the Amiga platform thanks to its atmosphere, cinematic feeling, great animation and the gameplay consisting of platform, puzzle and shooting elements. The story shows Lester, a young physicist, who suddenly finds himself in an alternate world after lightning struck during his experiment. Players role is to find a way to get Lester back to "our" world. The 15th Anniversary Edition, which is sold on GOG.com, introduced a remastered edition of the original (both versions are included) and some cool materials that showed how the game was made. With a 60% discount this is an offer you just can't miss.

So grab Another World 15th Anniversary Edition today for only $3.99! The promo ends tomorrow, April 21 at 5:59 a.m. EDT (10:59 a.m. GMT).

Ubivis: I came to a strange part of the game, can someone help out on it? :)

Little Help, the computer had an error on the second page and the last character is NO "C". But I think you can figure out yourself, what character it should be (damn perspective, crashed the character)
An absolutely great idea, and good thing I checked the topic before running off to buy the game (my usual MO). Thank you very much :-).

Fantastic sale for a classic game. Hard as hell and not very forgiving game but then games abck then where like that not a hold you by the hand at every turn like most games nowadays.

If you havent bought Another World and love classic games from the Amiga/Atari ST era grab it now you wont be dissapointed.

Great game, definitely a steal at this price. Hope GOG gets Flashback soon.

I know I will get flashbacks while playing Another World :D

Well worth it for anyone who is on the fence about it. Just played it and reviewed it on my blog a few weeks ago. It is very challenging though, so have patience and hang in there if you find yourself struggling with any part. Definitely worth the few bucks

So how many games from the whole GOG catalogue did you already play/finish? :)

Totally different rights holder, unfortunately. That said I don't know who does have the rights to Flashback these days. It could still be a publisher who is with GOG already.

Also: anyone who likes this game should definitely check out Eric's next name: Heart of darkness

hopefully we can see it someday on GoG :)

Thank you for this nice promo.
I didn't bought it until now because I thought it was a little bit overpriced, but I couldn't refuse it this time...

Goodnes I am not even sure, I have lost track.

Been working my way through them slowly but surely. Really crunching down these past few months though, playing them and trying to write more about them. Hopefully can introduce others to the awesomeness of older titles. <3

Flashback was such a great game, I do prefer it over Another World. I hope GOG does get it somehow. Then again I hope GOG get Syndicate too :) Though not the sequel so much, just the original with the expansion. Ah! the days of yore.

I think we'd have seen an updated version of that game too if the rights had made their way back to Eric Chahi. Who knows what happened to it?

The Syndicate sequel suffered the typical Bullfrog problem of letting you become too powerful later on. But it was still kind of fun in a sandboxy destruct-a-thon kind of way. I'd still get it on GOG just so I didn't have to fuss around adjusting the speed between the missions and the rest.
