  1. Another World (video game)
    
    Another World is a cinematic platform action-adventure game designed by Éric Chahi and published by Delphine Software in 1991. In North America it was published as Out of This World. The game tells the story of Lester, a young scientist who, as a result of an experiment gone wrong, finds himself on a dangerous alien world where he is forced to fight for his survival. Another World was developed by Chahi alone over a period of about two years, with help with the soundtrack from Jean-François Freitas. Chahi developed his own game engine, creating all the game's art and animations in vector form to reduce memory use, with some use of rotoscoping to help plan out character movements. Both narratively and gameplay-wise, he wanted the game to be told with little to no language or user-interface elements.

  I'm also interested in ones that aren't in the top few. Like, once you have Commander Keens, Dukes Nukems, and Jazz Jackrabbits, what's next?

  @foone Nobody is gonna mention Fire & Ice because it's a British game that hates the player, and yet it still better than 70% of the games you're gonna get in your replies.
  Honorable mentions for others that still hold up, and not just nostalgia based:
  Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion
  Duke Nukem 1
  Captain Comic 1
