U.S. print ad (Genesis):
    SHRINK-WRAPPED TIME WARP

    You're so intent on testing the particle accelerator you've invented that you hardly notice the crackling of a not-so-distant electrical storm.

    Before you can say SNAP, CRACKLE, POP, a lightning bolt slams through you and your accelerator with deadly accuracy.

    When you finally come to, you have no idea what time or place you're in, but you know you're not safe. Face it, you're warped. Unless you want to start calling this place home, you'll need to dodge, outwit and overcome a host of deadly aliens, monster guards and bloodsucking leeches who think you're a delicacy. Now, that shouldn't be too hard for a Whiz Kid like you - right?

    Out of This World Features:

    * Award-winning cinematically styled, rotoscoped animation.
    * State of the art real-time polygonal graphics.
    * Continual audio mix of digitized sound effects and musical score.

    Get Ready For The Next Generation Of Action/Adventure Games.

    You're about to enter a new world of computer entertainment. Out Of This World bridges the gap between Cinema and Action/Adventure games with a completely new style of fluid, cinematic storytelling.

Only a perfect blend of logic and skill will get you past the deadly obstacles that lie in wait.

    Over two years in development, Out Of This World's state of the art, polygonal graphics system generates real-time, rotoscoped animation in a fluid system of cinematic zooms, pans, close-ups, and scaling.

Unknown Source:
    There was only one chance out of one million that such an accident could happen. As for the consequences, nobody could have foreseen them. Certainly not Lester, who finds himself lost in an unknown and utterly hostile world. However, it is in this other world that he will rediscover the genuine meaning of freedom won by fighting, the feeling that each day is a new victory...
