ANOTHER WORLD | DELPHINE-SOFT | 1991

▼ A landmark release, it was developed by Éric Chahi on an Amiga 500 computer.
▼ Its game engine utilized 3D graphics that were rasterized into pixels, and its animations were created using the rotoscoping technique, similar to Prince of Persia. The narrative was embedded within the visuals, achieving a seamless integration of story and gameplay.

THE IMMORTAL | WILL HARVEY | 1990

▼ Well, this has been one of my favorites since childhood. It's one of those cryptic games you accidentally stumble upon as a kid, and it messes you up with its mixture of eeriness, gore, and extreme difficulty—there are no saves, and it can be beaten only by trial and error.
▼ Originally designed for the Apple IIGS, it was later ported to various platforms. The Sega Genesis version featured exclusive bonus finisher moves and the best adaptation of its soundtrack.
▼ Notably, the game’s goriness predates the release of Mortal Kombat by two years.
