Retro and, well, contemporary iOS gamers have finally gained access to the best version of a truly classic game ever released, as Another World - 20th Anniversary has just hit the App Store. It's the same 16-bit adventure we all loved to bits, taking place on the same brilliantly alien setting, sporting the same excellent characters, buddy mechanics and story, only this time with vastly updated graphics and some of the best touch-screen controls ever. And for a mere $5 you'll be getting both the iPad and iPhone versions too.
What's more, Eric Chaci, the legendary game designer that crafted the original and actively worked on this port/remake thing, has made sure that you can switch between them old and new graphics, play the thing on three difficulty settings and five different languages, and even show off on Game Center. All that, while enjoying a remastered soundtrack and looking at something like this:
