Did you know? Interesting gaming facts...

[gossi the dog]

Games in the Dragon Quest series can only be released on the weekends in Japan.

Another World on the Megadrive has a very interesting link to Half Life. Complete Another World and at the end sequence the main character marries the love of his life - Betty Freeman. Betty has a brother by the name of Gordon Freeman. Around that time he has just been offered a job at a secret government testing. The main character then advises him from doing any dodgy experiments...after all that’s how the guy got transported to "another world". Gordon nods his head and the game ends.

Who made Another World?

[MattyD]

Delphine, a French outfit.

[hudson]

Delphine Software I believe.

[curses!]

The sequel to Another World is called Heart of the Alien.

Delphine Software I believe.

WTF!!!!
Has no one played another world?!
Seems like no one had played it then.
Here is the ending, not that anyone cares cause the above story spoils the whole ending.

So is it actually related or is HL inspired by AW?

[BeyondJumpFish]

...walk of shame for me...

Unless the Mega Drive version had a different ending the the others (which is unlikely as the direct sequel which does tie in with the ending I know was released on the Mega CD) I'm calling BS on the Freeman link.

Nah probs, I remember playing through that myself about 10 years ago too, thinking i had never seen animation like it on Megadrive, Flashback was quality too, Delphine Software were quality.
It's 16 years old too the 15th Anniversary Edition is only £4 now on PC.

If that did happen in the game that story would have been awsome!

[BeyondJumpFish]

ok, this one is true..
There are gaming music Concerts in Leipzig, Germany every year where the top games composers play live versions of they're music, like Final Fantasy and Streets of Rage.

Sega Rally's 'Game Over Yeeeah' was sung by Sega Sound Team composer Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. He also did loads of vocals on Daytona USA.
