About Out Of This World...

Previously Jerry Penner asked what Out Of This World was like.
I remember seeing the demo for the IBM compatible computers in mid
Feb. when I still worked at Egghead Discount Software in Vancouver.
The demo when something like this: You drive out to your lab which is
some sort of particle accelerator, punch in your access code at a
computer controlled lock. You get scanned and are allowed in.
Meanwhile a mean thunderstorm is brewing outside. You sit down at
your control station and initiate an experiment. (There is a ten
second countdown) As you wait for the experiment to begin, you calmly
pop open a cool one and take a gulp. Meanwhile that mean looking
thunderstorm lets loose a humongous lightning bolt headed in your
direction! As the countdown reaches zero the lightning bolt strikes
the accelerator! *BZZZAKK-KA-BOOOMMM! SPLOOOOSHH! bloop-bloop-bloop!*
There is now a big crater where you once sat in your lab. You are now
underwater in a fountain that is Out Of This World! As you swim your
way up and climb out of the fountain, you will be faced with
unimaginable dangers. As you trek through dark caves and deserts, you
have to avoid huge deadly slugs, wild alien animals, and befriend
unfriendly aliens armed with laser like weapons.
 
The IBM demo was quite impressive so I excpect the GS version to be
awesome.
