mad steve Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi, just wondering if it’s possible to purchase Another World in Rom format now the Game Drive is out. There are loads of cartridge based games I would happily pay for if the owners released Rom versions to download. Cheers . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I don't know about Another World ever having a ROM available for purchase, but I do believe a future run of the game has been discussed before. In general, you'll probably have to wait a little bit for news regarding the ability to purchase ROMs of homebrews to use on the Game Drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyChris Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Looks like there is an Atari ST version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look here for a comparison of the backgrounds between the Amiga, Jaguar, and 3DO version. They were all re-worked for the Jaguar, more colorful than the Amiga version, and more true to the original than the 3DO version. https://fabiensanglard.net/another_world_polygons_Jaguar/index.html Edited April 4, 2021 by phoboz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyChris Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I agree, the Jaguar version is better, but it is also no longer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I'd be down for Another World as a purchase rom. They could even lock the rom somehow to only used on a single GD so no one can share it. There's probably a way for them to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Selling roms coded to individuals have worked well in the Intellivision community for quite a while. Honestly don't mind the $5 - $25 price tag for a rom for the Game Drive over the $50 - $80 price tag for the cost making a cartridge. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sync Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Saw that there was a new run of the physical carts and thought this might be a timely subject. Was there ever any talk about adding a rom only option for purchase? I would love to have this release on my Game Drive instead of a physical cart.

Atari Nut Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'd also be in for a rom purchase for use on the Game Drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melrocks Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I would like a rom also as a companion for the GameDrive I just bought. Im already in for a physical copy through the group buy, but this would let me keep my actual cart unused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I would ask @odie_one, but I don’t think they have the rights to release it digitally if they wanted to. There are still cartridges left, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie_one Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Indeed, the RGC association only publishes and distributes the game on Jaguar. Sébastien Briais working on the adaptation of the game courtesy of Eric Chahi. The only person who can answer on a possible distribution of the ROM is Sébastien Briais. I doubt that is doable. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for 100$ value increase in the next 3 years? Come on guys ... it's just a game. The box in unsealed anyway. Use your cart, enjoy the game. For playing the ROM, simply use the Genesis, SNES, MS-DOS, Amiga version ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrocks Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi evisu, I am a collector. I buy games to look pretty on my shelves, and flash carts to play them. I only sell games that do not meet my requirements...I keep nearly everything. I have been on a binge attempting to acquire a full collection of brand new sealed retail jag games, and also aftermarket ones. This title is my next step in that goal.

odie_one Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The Jaguar version is significantly superior to other 16-bit (25 year anniversary) versions. Moreover, compared to the ST and Amiga versions, the game is longer. Eric CHAHI had added a step when the game was released on console. I also collect Jaguar games. And it's a bit like books or boxes of DVDs on a shelf. It's beautiful to see and from time to time you use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 For anyone on the fence; this one is well worth owning to play or to collect or both. It's a great game well worth the $80. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it's a cool game either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 For sure; Limited Run games also put it out on cart for Vita, Switch, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
