Pretty awesome game for the SNES. One of Blizzard's early games.

I like that heโ€™s just got a normal blokeโ€™s name. Maybe a reaction to all the Duke Nukems back then.

back when Arrow was on the air we used to joke that Paul Blackthorne would bust a shotgun and get over with this shit.

100% yes. similar mechanics and movement. i remember how smooth they seemed compared to other contemporaries. you had to get used to those controls tho... they required a patience that twitchy games like Contra simply couldn't compare.

Did they get Rob Liefeld to do the cover art for this?

DOS / PC version was the best because it wasn't censored

Yes. There was no blood on the SNES version and the graphic violence was toned down compared to the DOS version.

I believe the Genesis version was uncensored though

cinematic platforms are a vibe. Kinda crazy how old is Another World and it just doesn't feel old. Flashback hits like a motherfucker - too bad the remake botched it.

Liefeld-inspired game would've been probably something like Borderlands or Bulletstorm or very-very wacky assassin's creed (progression is all about getting MORE POUCHES!!!!) but even more awesomystic.
