I did not grow up with Another World so I have no nostalgia with it to speak of, and I have to say just how blown away I was by it. To think this was made during the 16 Bit era, by one man is just shocking to me.

I'm been a long time fan of these types of games, such as Prince of Persia and Abe's Oddesssy (Wish Prince of Persia 91 and Heart of Darkness where here lol)

I am currently doing a course in video game modeling and animation, as well as a little design goes into it. I often get into arguments with my teachers and student of old vs new design, of how to imply story and gameplay.

Now I kind wanna force them all to play this. Because if one man can design like this, then there is no excuse why a team of professionals with millions of dollars can't make something good to.

I felt this way about the game as well. Absolutely fantastic. Frustrating in some areas, but fantastic. I'm also a fan of Oddworld, so, well, Hello!

Anyways, this is the thing that made me want to create games, so thank you for this post. Oh, and they are making a remake of Oddysee for spring 2014.

That's alright and yeah the remake of Oddysee does interest me I hope it comes to GOG, but if not we will still have the original. Call me nostalgic, but I just don't see how the new one will beat the original.

Well they're adding new cutscenes, new technology, and everything runs in real time. Also, they are adding quicksave, so that is honestly a big plus. The company developing the game also made a great port of Strangers Wrath for ps3, as well as having an Oddworld fan as a CEO, so I have a good feeling about the game.

I'm also interested in video game creation, so what lessons/classes/books should I look at, as well as articles? Any good links would be great, please.

If you like Eric Chahi's work, Heart of darkness is excellent, too.

and even more frustrating. I wonder if he did than on purpose. Not the kind of games you would play if you have anger management issues :P

Yes, you are right. Many games belong to this category of games that will drive you mad. And not only platformers :D

Another platform game that I would strongly recommend is Earthworm Jim.

I think another big reason for the new version is simply to get more people to play the game for the first time. This will be easier when there's a new version running on modern systems, and it will also be generating press so people hear about it.
