Another World

Out Of This World

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Another World
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Delphine/Virgin
RELEASED:         1991
TYPE:             Adventure
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          You're Lester Knight Chaykin, a physicist who likes to
                  work alone.  During your latest stint down at the lab,
                  lightning struck the particle accellerator and caused
                  your anti-matter experiment to go haywire, opening a
                  dimensional vortex and hurling you into another world -
                  a world where you have only your wits to survive the
                  many perils ahead.

IMPRESSIONS:      A fantastic-looking, excellently-executed, and hard-as-
                  hell adventure game that is well worth the frustration.
                  The opening cinema alone is now an acknowledged classic
                  in the genre.  A bit heavy on the puzzles, to be sure,
                  but man - what a game!

VARIATIONS:       Out of This World (American, distributed by Interplay)

Whew, what can I say about this game? It's awesome! Just watch the intro! This game uses a special graphics system. There are no sprites, it's all done in 2d polygons, thus giving everything smooth animation and allowing for really cool cinematic effects. You play Lester Knight Chakan, a young scientist. In the intro, he runs a particle acceleration expirament that goes horribly wrong. Lightning strikes his and he is transported to another world. Great ambient music. The puzzles are hard, but with a little noggin' power, you'll figure them out. The challenge is great, but the game can be beaten. This version is better than the snes one because the snes has load time before you start and the gameplay is a little slower. I give it a 9.

The best version of Out of this world? the sega cd version which is called Heart of the Alien. It features Out of this World 1-2 on one disc. Heart of the Alien was only released on segacd and is cool because it finishes the out of this world saga. You get to play the alien this time through and he has a cool whip that can be used as a weapon as well! Try to find yourself a copy! I give Heart of the Alien a 10!

Oh, and check out Delphine Software's other titles Flashback and Heart of Darkness! They are great games in the vein of Out of this world.
