Title: Heart of the Alien for OS 3.9
Post by: XDelusion on February 23, 2008, 07:35:03 PM

http://hota.sourceforge.net/

There is a pic of it running in OS 3.9 on this page, but no download links to the Amiga version. I tried to write to the author to find it, but his e-mail address no longer seems to be working.

 Anyone know where I can find this great game!?

I have never heard of this game, i always thought flashback was the follow up, although i cant help with your search thanks for the link.

 Actually Flashback has nothing to do with Out of this World (Another World) aside of the fact that it was written by the same guy.

 There was to be a Flashback 3 (nevermind Fade to Black) for the GBA, but it never got completed, though you can see early demos of it on Youtube.com

 Another great game by the same programmer is called Heart of Darkness though of course that only released for the Sony Paystation and Winblows. :/

Heart of the alien is on Mega CD only as far as i know. Its not too bad but what i liked about it was you got Another World on the disc with it.

Heart of the alien was all about the friend you had in Another World and boy was he pissed after Another World. Very good game but it was also very hard.

There's another Another World 'clone' (or well, a kinda similar game written by the same guy) named 'OnEscapee (http://onescapee.invictus.hu/index.html)'., available for both PC and Amiga.

The Heart of Alien is not very playable game and AFAIK it was not programmed by the same author as Another World.

Btw. there's hi-res version of Another World for PC: http://www.anotherworld.fr/anotherworld_uk/

 Here is some Youtube footage of the game. Though I don't think You want to watch it all else You'll know how to solve puzzles you are supposed to figure out on your own.

 It's a shame no one seems to know where to find the Amiga port...

...if it was ever finished that is.

It is on BeOS now though!!! ;)
