[chrilith]

Yes! Another World have been ported and released to Zodiac! To play this game, like with other engines, you'll needto original DOS version of the game also known as Out of this World. There will never be a standard PalmOS version. This version is the only one officially authorized. This version features native graphics on 480x320 resolution and full music and sound effects. Get it now!

Great. Thank you very much. I played this game on Amiga as a kid and never finished it. Later tried on PC but never had time to get to the same place as before, got only to the place where you need to shoot the pillar underground and run fast because of the water.

Just tried on Zodiac now and it is fantastic :-) I hope I can finally finish the game on Zodiac.

I have only few minor/non issues:
- sometimes it locks up the device, music still plays but buttons dont work and it is not possible to exit to launcher, so far happend to me two times in the intro
- is there save anywhere option mentioned in faq here http://cyxdown.free.fr/raw/index_original.html ?
Also the download links on that page are not working (source and win32 SDL binary). I'd like to recompile the source on linux. Thanks.

I am not sure what originalcod means, you mean the save codes I can enter and start on some preselected 'checkpoint' position? Well yes but some of them are quite far away so I need to replay same part again and again :-( I guess I'm little old now and have less spare time so this unfortunately spoils whole fun for me.

As for the source the page you mentioned is pretty old. I thought that since you released version for Zodiac now that distribution limitation is over and original author finally allowed you to release it freely (including source). Or maybe not?
