Out of this World

Post by RogueIce »

Anyone remember this old game? I do, vaugely... It's an old school adventure game, and I remember good times playing it, as well as frustrations aplenty...

Is there any good info online about it? I haven't had any luck... :(

Linky this site has some info on it, if it's the right game. it seems it was ported over to the SNES as well as the PC, so you might be able to find it for download somewhere.

Gah, I could never get past after you get captured. I keep getting shot during my escape.

It was also made for other platforms. Like Genesis.

Also named Another World in other countries. They even made a sequel for the Sega CD. I believe it is on Underdogs, I haven't played it yet but takes place just after the end, where they land at some outer village and you take over as the alien. Due to the mishap at the end of the first :p I love this game, and I quite like Flashback (made by same people, very similar). Those pistols just rocked.

EDIT: Oh and the sequel is called Heart of the Alien.
History? I love history! First, something happens, then, something else happens! It's so sequential!! Thank you first guy, for writing things down!

Yeah, I remember that. Right now I'm still dealing with the little worm dealies.

I found it for download. :)

I must have finished Another World at least a hundred times. Incredibly fun, also very atmospheric.

Don't bother with the h.o.t.Alien sequel, it's like one of those Dragon's Lair games (short screens where you have to move the exact amount in the exact direction at the exact time) but a lot worse, and with OOTW-style graphics.
