Trivia
It is important to note that Out Of This World is a stunning technical achievement. All graphics in the game are filled vector images (2D polygons). This has been used before to save disk space with early adventure games (like King's Quest), but never before in an action game. Also, all music and sound effects are mixed in realtime to provide multi-channel music and sound on modest sound hardware. All this on a 286!
