Finally. This was a very odd game that I loved when I was a kid and I'm glad to see it here :O

Man, when I first saw those "cut scenes", I thought it was mind blowing what a console could do, although at the same time they looked pretty bad, graphically.

Oh yeah, they were only one of the earliest examples of polyons on a 16-bit system. Absolutely hideous.

Did anyone else play Heart of Darkness? It was a PSX game that had pretty much the same mechanics as this one (horrible death, impossibly farfetched antics), but it starred a little kid and his dog.

I heard about that back in the day.

The SNES port of OOTW has a mini-clock for loading.:lol

Hear of Darkness had very big hype for several months, then dissapeared. I always wanted to play it, it cool?

No game before or after this has frightened me to the same degree.

I played it when I was a wee one, and every enemy and cutscene was like a nightmare. Truly, the game was horrifying to me, and I contribute the first scene to my intense fear of any water deeper than my head.

I could only get as far as helping that doughy guy escape.

I had the same problem, with both this game and another one of those Full-Motion Video games like Dragon's Lair, called Time Traveller. It was horrible.

Supa, yeah, it's an alright game, I think. I don't remember too much about it.

I remember this one on the Genesis where you were a wizard. It had more of a Diablo feel, but in some places you'd have to be quick to the sorroundings. I think as soon as you start the game, if you don't move, the floor becomes a mouth.

i think that's "the immortal" and i also believe it was for other systems than genesis (i am sure it was on PC, and it may have been on snes idk)

Yup, that's The Immortal, and yes, it was on other systems. I remember being absolutely blown away by the super-awesome graphics for the NES port.

Jez, both Out of This World and The Immortal were the culprits behind my explosive juvenile brain aneurysm. They were just so frustrating! I just think of them now, god damned impossible damn....f'n....sonava....rrrrrrrrrrrrrr ARRRRRGGG!

Remember all that "Invisible Enemies" bullshit?
