I'm not sure if Out of This World is a demo or not, but I can say it's
|
|
probably not the 100% complete version. BUT I have reason to believe that his
|
|
version is about 95% complete.
|
|
|
|
When you first run it, it asks you for your viewing preference:
|
|
16mm means the entire screen ; this mode is sluggish even on my 7Mhz Zip GS
|
|
34mm is about 2/3 of the screen ; it's bearable and is recommended by me
|
|
70mm is only half the screen, very narrow sorta like watching a movie on TV
|
|
Television is same as 70mm from what I've seen.. I can't tell any difference.
|
|
|
|
For the controls, I can't get joystick to work anyways, so lets just say
|
|
keyboard. or either one you pick don't matter since you can use keyboard.
|
|
|
|
It seems that you just watch the guy drive up in the Ferrari, do his
|
|
experiment and it fails and he gets blown into Another World, or blown Out of
|
|
This World (whichever name you choose, since in IBM, both names have been used
|
|
and released, same game). After this it seems to have just freeze. This is the
|
|
FIRST and ONLY program ever I've seen on the GS that disables not only
|
|
control-reset, and not only control-oa-reset, but even the fake cold boot of
|
|
control-oa-OPTION-reset!! The only way is to turn off the computer!! Holy cow
|
|
to Bill..
|
|
|
|
Anyways, upon my further examination, I found out the following keys:
|
|
|
|
A - Accept/Action (acts like return when choosing PW)
|
|
Q - Quit the game/demo
|
|
C - Choose Password to different levels (use arrows to move cursor)
|
|
|
|
OK: There are 22 level codes to this game and I've tried all of them and they all work except for the last one. This is how to do it:
|
|
|
|
After the demo, or while in the demo, press C anytime and password screen will
|
|
come up. Enter the 4 letter PW in my pw list file and you will go to that
|
|
level! While in the game:
|
|
|
|
A - Shoot (if you have the laser gun) or Step On worms and leeches (when first
|
|
starting game.
|
|
Z - Jump
|
|
Arrows - move in that direction. Hold down A and Arrows to Run in direction.
|
|
|
|
After you pick the level, you're actually playing the game!! This is a very
|
|
difficult game from what I've played, especially since I haven't figured out
|
|
how to use the joystick.
|
|
|
|
When shooting with A : hold down for a few seconds to build a shield in front
|
|
of you that'll block off the enemy's laser. You have to build shield, hide
|
|
behind shield and try to shoot the enemy. It might sound easy, but remember
|
|
that your enemy is doing the same and he's much better at it than you are.
|
|

|
Anyways, that's about all I've found out about this game, and I'm including
|
|
this file in the Out of This World archieve so it can help people get
|
|
started...actually let me tell you for the first level after the introduction:
|
|
You and your desk appear under water, you have to hold down the UP arrow to swim up right away or you'll be pulled down under and die. Good luck!
