Another World, a legendary adventure game developed by Eric Chahi and launched initially 23 years ago, has finally arrived on Linux.

Another World – 20th Anniversary Edition is an incredibly hard action game that should be played by anyone who fancies himself (herself) a gamer. Everything can kill the main character and it's one of the first games of its kind. It’s been resurrected to work on modern computers and now even Linux players can get it.

"Another World chronicles the story of Lester Knight Chaykin a young scientist hurtled through space and time by a nuclear experiment that goes wrong. In an alien and inhospitable world, you will have to dodge, outwit, and overcome the host of alien monsters, while surviving an environment as deadly as your enemies. Only a perfect blend of logic and skill will get you past the deadly obstacles that lie in wait," reads the Steam synopsis for the game.

The system requirements for are very low, as you can expect from such an old title: Ubuntu 12.10 or similar, a 1.6 GHZ (32- and 64-bit supported) processor, 2048 MB of memory, an OpenGL 2.0 compatible video card, and 800 MB of HDD space.

There is not word about any special dependencies, so you can get it and play it right now.
