Remember this fantastic atmospheric game?

I recall being in awe by this game.
The graphics were fantastic, sounds errie, and gameplay superb.

The author has relaunched a new edition for Windows XP with high resolution polygons.

Full edition only 6 euro.

Old news, but excellent game. Runs on relatively low-end hardware and a blast to play through. 6 Euros is approximately $8.12, according to Google. Well worth that. Very different style of play and an excellent atmosphere to it all.
 
Wasn't that called "Out of this World" in the USA?

Awesome game... I remember being floored by the graphics at the time it was released. At the time most of us were used to EGA or basic VGA graphics. This game brought a fluidity and quality that went unmatched for a long time. And boy what an atmosphere this game created! :)

<EDIT>

Yup! Same game... playing it at 1680x1050 is pretty damn cool!

</EDIT>
 
Yup - I got it going at 1900x1200 no trouble at all :)

EGA! Now that's a blast from the past. I even remember CGA - 4 colours only, and terrible colours they were too - cyan, magenta, orange and someother vomit-esque tone!
 
How impressively retro!

I do believe this was "Out of this World" in the US.

IIRC., a demo version of it shipped with one of Interplay's Star Trek games ("25th Anniversary" or "Judgement Rites", can't recall which). Never spent much time on it, as I couldn't figure out how to get past those little slug things that stab your heels.
 
I loved out of this world, I played it on my 386sx back so many years ago, and it was a lot of fun. I actually recently played and finished it, and can be quite challenging at times.
 
Downloading. Thanks.

The first game's ending was kinda depressing tho.
 
Ya, it's not easy! Not to be attempted with a combination of alcohol and crack....

BTW, Down Arrow (crouch) and Ctrl to kick/squash those sabre tooth leeches. Then when you meet the puma thingy run the entire opposite direction and jump to the rope, then swing past him and run the entire opposite way again. Good luck!

You can also jump over them, while running (ctrl + left or right) press the up arrow. :)

Or you can just jump over them. Squashing them does help when you come back after running into that puma thing.

Man, how nostalgic. I don't remember the keypad combination, but i actually recalled the sound of the beeps just before he used it :p

Tried that out once. Flashback was fast and fluid, FadeToBlack felt like it was in slow motion. Whatever excitement i had for the sequel (Wanted to see where the story went) died that moment.
 
Meh... Some of the new backgrounds are pretty nice, but for the most part it doesn't look much better than the Mac port.
