Anyone know what this game is?

I remember, the first level (and I think the first few levels had these slug things that would could kill you instantly, and you had to stomp them. and then in later levels, there was something or other in a cage. and it was hard. I only got the first two or three levels

hope someone can ID it. sorry I can't remember more

It'd help if you tell us what system it was for. At this moment, nothing comes to mind.

PC, I think. It was around when I was fairly young, so I'd have to say probably around the dos gaming era.

Why does I picture..The Ooze?

"Out of this world" or "Another world", depending on whether you live in Europe, or elsewhere. The game is also avalable on snes, and there is a remake here.

Cool game, finished it many times.

Yeah, it was an adventure game. Out of this World. Genesis and SNES. It was followed up by another game from the same company (although unreleated plotwise)... Trying to rememebr that name...

screwit. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_%28video_game%29

wow... I'm impressed by some of the graphical tricks they pulled. I'm trying hard to come up with any other game from that Era that did the whole laser moving INTO the screen.

Makes me want to find the rom for this

It's a fantastic game, on any platform.

Man could this game use a follow up.

Vidar · October 21, 2006, 01:38:41 PM

It HAS a follow up: "Heart of the alien" for the sega mega-cd.
I never played it: I was a Nintendo guy.

Manawolf · October 21, 2006, 01:40:43 PM

A full 3D version. Would be interesting how it takes the change. It alrady uses a number of 3D elements already.

Vidar · October 21, 2006, 01:52:12 PM

Not really: all the polygonal graphics are 2d. Even the movie-sequences are renderd in 2d. If it looks 3d, it's because the programmers and artists were being clever and imaginitive.

Also, IMHO the adventure genre works best in 2d.

Manawolf · October 21, 2006, 01:54:25 PM

Link's been doing okay for himself, though.

Vidar · October 21, 2006, 02:15:03 PM

There are always exceptions.

Manawolf · October 21, 2006, 02:23:18 PM

Looks like even this game could have a problem with getting lost, even in 2D.

I'm also reminded of Mega Man Legends, what with the charge up gun.

Jack McSlay · October 21, 2006, 04:21:51 PM

I think it can be in both 2d and 3d. I only think it gets compleacted when you're doing a 2d+3d game. no matter how well detailed the objects are, you can always tell what parts of the scenario are movable

Anyone know what this game is?
