prob due to the single choice and 'most representative' thing combined maybe with more entries... not the same thing, but on LemonAmiga Another World is favourited by 143 members Shadow of the Beast 73 and Lemmings 169 Last edited by kremiso; 13 February 2024 at 23:44. |

I have to rethink my choices because Another World really might fit best with my ideas. It has both the melancholic and horrific style that I associate with the Amiga... and also that maturity factor. Bonus points that it isn't just a run to the end, there are also themes of finding friends in hostile places in there.
It is just that the game has been ported to so many systems and is pretty awesome on most of them, I didn't consider it as "an Amiga game" until now |

Most of these criteria are not set in stone, though I definitely would say that having Amiga as lead platform is a big bonus point. Being ported elsewhere shouldn't be a diminishing factor though because then you'd be left with not much (and not only re Amiga). But even so it could be still subjective: eg I mostly think of games like Monkey Island or Syndicate as "Amiga games" even though they were somewhat better and/or made on PC. |

AW is a prime example of a game that was architected from the get go for portability between different platforms.
The whole game runs in a custom runtime, a fun writeup of which can be found here: https://fabiensanglard.net/another_w...ons/index.html |

From the third part of the article: "Another World on Atari ST was entirely written by Eric Chahi in parallel with the Amiga version."

Not sure I can go through digging up these links again but for me Another World is 100% Amiga original game. |

It was intended to be released on both machines at the same time. Main work clearly happened on the Amiga, but it was done in a way that it would also work on the ST. I agree that the Amiga is clearly the leading platform for development, but it was developed for both machines at the same time.

And even Chahi is very clear about stating that the original version is the Amiga one. |

I'm genuinely interested. I went through all the sources the article linked above mentions, and there are no direct references. Also, where in HoL entry are the source links? |

From Eric's "official" site:

I mean, since the game was released for both ST and Amiga at the same time there is no doubt that he has also worked on the ST version at the time, but I think calling it a "parallel development" might a be bit off in this case - at least based on the present records. |
