Out of This World (3DO)

Out of This World is a game about a scientist named Lester Knight Chaykin, who has the fantastic idea of performing an experiment during a thunderstorm. As a result, lightning strikes his lab, teleporting him... Out of This World.

Unfortunately, the alien world he finds himself on is hostile, so he and his new (and only) alien friend must do everything they can to survive.

Music Loop points
Some of the songs in the game's soundtrack have loop points in their files, but go unused in-game because the 3DO doesn't support looping. Instead, the tracks play all over again instead of from the point where the loop starts. Notable examples are;
 * Song 26 (132480 samples, loop starts at 3.0041 seconds)


 * Song 23 (89020 samples, loop starts at 2.0186 seconds)


 * Song 18 (77344 samples, loop starts at 1.7538 seconds)

NOTE: The information is taken through Audacity, after printing metadata with VGMSTREAM! Also, Song 18's loop point is incorrectly placed and makes a click... In addition, songs #10 and #25 both have loop points that however are at the start of the tracks.

Title Screen
As this game was released with different names in each region, the title screen changes to suit. Unlike the SNES port, the Japanese one has no notable changes except the title.

Title Songs
The 3DO port happens to have two different title songs, one only used in the US and another one for Europe and Japan. The intro demo uses the full US title song for all regions.

Hidden Picture
An easter egg picture. To access it you need to have seen the full Interplay logo video.

Hold buttons L and R while on the New Game/Continue screen. After some time, instead of the normal Interplay logo, a different picture will appear.



This image also appears in Wolfenstein 3D for Macintosh, which was coded by the same person.

Hidden Game
Another easter egg, which this time is a whole game. To access it, go to the Password Screen, and try the code BRGR.

The code is very likely a reference to Bill (now Rebecca) "Burger" Heineman, who ported Out of This World to 3DO and very likely snuck this in when nobody was looking. The game is only about scoring, and is the COMPLETE REVERSE of a breakout game.

You must hold off the stalactites before they get bigger by getting under them while avoiding the balls.
