In my opinion this game is both awesome and difficult. It had a different feel than any other game of the time combining side scrolling action with problem solving. The graphics were top during its time and now they're just interesting and abstract. Comments  who voted for this video rottenseed

Flashback was by the same developer but unrelated to Another World - it too used rotoscoped animation (similar to technique independantly used by Prince of Persia)
That might explain the Deja Vu

Though i was very very young when i played it, and it was very old even then. Loved it anyway
Contrary to previous posts, this game was not rotoscoped nor vector graphics, but used polygons for its visuals. (Different technique entirely).
The Amiga 500 version does have some differences. I recommend any big fans of this game tracking down the original and playing through it (runs better, great music).
Flashback WAS rotoscoped, and if I recall was (and maybe still is?) the best selling game ever, in some countries.
Also, Out of this World/Another World had a sequel, not made by the original developer but with his consent if I recall. It was only released on SegaCD and was titled "Heart of the Alien".
I played the SNES version originally too, and it was really nice to watch this again.
If you are looking to replay it, it seems the best version is the Another World 15Th Anniversary Edition CD-ROM. The resolution is greatly improved, but otherwise it's the same. If you miss the blockyness of the original, then play the DOS version. The Amiga version is shorter (by one level) and is missing the soundtrack, so you might not want to go that far back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_(video_game)#Versions
Also here's a video of the 15th anniversary edition. Seems they really kept the style intact, despite the improved backgrounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvZYWhiyM8Y
Awesome game, but the PC version (Amiga and DOS) is better. The SNES version in this video is censored (blood and female alien butt crack were removed) and - even worse -
NO! Stop right there! Nothing could be worse than removing 8 bit female alien butt crack. Nothing... EVER!!!
(Flashback, however, was a different story.)
