Out of This World - Out of My Mind

[Gregory Ross Thompson <gregt+@CMU.EDU>]

  Okay, I got it in the mail today.  Lemme start from the top:

  It's written such that if you don't have an accelerator, it's at a
reasonable speed.  If you have an accelerator, it's still at a
reasonable speed, but you can take advantage of a larger screen.
There are 4 options: 16mm (full screen), 35mm (matted: 3/4 height,
full width), 70mm (letterboxed: 1/2 height, full width), and
Television (1/2 height, 1/2 width).  With my Zip 9/64, full screen was
fine, and matted was amazing (smaller screen, but all the animation
was a bit faster, not that it was slow with full screen).

  Okay, the game starts with an AMAZING intro where your dude drives
up to the lab, goes in, starts an experiment, and gets zapped 'Out of
This World'.  Absolutely spectacular graphics and sound.  Blew my
socks off.

  Then, the actual game starts.  Unfortunately, I can't get past the
damn buffalo.  I haven't tried all too hard yet, but it's kinda
disconcerting when I can't even get to the 4th screen of action...
I'm not saying that's bad, I'm just saying that I was too impatient to
keep trying to get around/past the damn buffalo, or whatever it is.

  The whole game is in a cinematic format.  As you get through the
game, the plot unfolds, etc.  Your guy's movements are pretty
realistic.  The sound through the game play is great.  Hell,
everything about it is awesome.  It's hard drive installable.  It uses
resources, so there are only 2 files to copy onto your hard drive, one
from each of the two floppies.

  Wowza.  Here's something to put on that christmas/chanukah list.
