My first impressions of the Dopod 838 Pro were particularly enjoyable because the Windows Mobile PDA phone comes pre-installed with the classic Another World (I recently got to play with it again!). No other game, on any OS, during any time, is as frustrating and unforgiving as this game. Especially in the beginning, where relaxing is a sure way to die.
Yet no other game provides more satisfaction once you finally figure out what to do. Another World may have originally released for the Amiga way back in 1991, but its simple yet realistic graphics and low computing requirements make it perfect for porting to mobile platforms.
That's exactly what happened, so now Another World is currently available for the following:
- Symbian Series 60 (from Magic Productions, Clickgamer, or Softpedia)
- Windows Mobile There seems to be no standalone Windows Mobile version of this game available. Looks like the only way for non Dopod 838 Pro users to get their own copy is to find to extract the game from the rebranded HTC TyTN's ROM.
Even if Another World isn't available for your favorite smartphone or PDA, it's a great game to play. Check out the Windows XP version.
Walkthrough: This game is so hard I have no problems linking to its walkthrough. But as my mom said when she saw me typing in a cheat code for Doom: "What's the point of playing if there's no challenge?"
