Fantastic! I had this on the SNES, quality game.

I also loved Flashback

I must admit this is only a short demo - but only 7 euros to purchase the full game. (that would be my third purchase of this game...)

But it runs so smooth on the PC in a new 60fps mode with enhanced graphics, nothing over the top just more detail here and there, it looks quite beautiful.

flashback.. /drool
I think this was released as "Out of This World" here in the US

another world and out of this world are the same game.
Flashback is the sequal.

Not the sequel. it was a seperate person. The seq to Flashback was Fade to Black

they were th first 3d rendered console games I beleive

He ends up getting his back broken I belive - the alien he makes friends with picks him up and they fly off on the back of a giant alien bird - im not sure if he was dead or not...

What I remember from this game is that it was stupidly hard, and that the controls were basically gash...

Is it just as unbelievably hard, or have the controls been improved, to give better leeway for what one can do??

EDIT: DAMN!

This is the guy that did Karateka huh?? I cried in anger SO MUCH, when I always got beat by my sis and her friends in that game! >_< I barely had the motor-skills to hold the controller tho...

I can complete the game in about 10mins. - the controlls are fine.

I'm probably going to suck just as much arse on this one as the SNES-version, but I guess I'll give this new freshened up version a try.

The overall storyline does sound rather interesting.
