"Out of This World" is an adventure game, where the adventuring element is concealed behind what looks like a typical platform shooter. The gameplay is based mainly on physical and environmental puzzles. Each enemy requires a different strategy, and often there is only one way to solve the problem. The game is divided into levels, each one of which can be accessed by typing a code you learn after having completed the level. The game features vector graphics and animated cut scenes.

Trivia
Released first on the Amiga and Atari ST, many
players complained that Out Of This World was too
easy. Because of this, the PC version includes
two extra levels :) and has slightly increased
difficulty in other parts of the game.

Tagline from the UK ("Another World") packaging:
"It took 6 days to create the Earth.
Another World took 2 years."

Obvious goof (I guess this is the same in all
versions of the game): During the intro, watch
Lester's hand as he's using the keypad. It moves
forward too much, thus revealing...there is no arm
attached to it! :)
