Hi-Res Another World!

For those of you who don't monitor Digg as frequently as I

There's now a hi-res version of Another World available, and it looks awesome!  You can get it here:

http://www.magic-productions.fr/aw/AnotherWorld.exe

Here's some opinions and a screenie example of the new hi-res:

You have to pay 7 euros I *think* to get the full version, but it seems worth it; people in a forum linking to the site said the reworking is amazing.

Anyhoo, I can't get it to run in Wine; the last few lines I get are this:  any suggestions? Hopefully people will be interested enough in a remaking of such a cult-classic that we can get this bad boy running on Arch ^_^

I *seriously* can't believe no-one is interested in this; this is like.. the best game ever! Does no-one remember playing it?

/me is unimpressed

Re: Hi-Res Another World!

...Well I seem to have my own little private convo going on here, so why not continue.

I tried running this beaut again, and it ran this time, but was scarily jerky, both in framerate and sound... I'd love to be able to remedy the problems, so if anyone else tries it in Wine and gets it running, please let me know!

Re: Hi-Res Another World!

this is a great game, by the way.

i've played it with zsnes, which is pretty good at improving the resolution of old games. try it out that way, works very well.
