First of all, let me start by saying that I never played the game. I read about this game I believe in Nintendo Power(they had a walkthrough for it) MANY years ago, and it sounded like a pretty cool game. It just sort of popped into my head a day or so ago and I got curious.

I think it was for SNES(which would make sense if I read about it in Nintendo Power). The game was a sidescroller, and from what I recall the whole game was a sort of "chase game". Basically you ran from left to right, trying not to be caught by your enemy(think of the boulder scene in the Indiana Jones game as an example of sorts). There was no fighting, the whole game was kind of a test of platforming, reflexes, etc.

Does anyone know what game this is? Is it any fun?

I'm not sure I have ever heard of that game, but it looks really fun.

Wow, you managed to find one just as obscure as the one I found. That seems to have fighting in it though, which I understood from the OP his game didn't have.

No it wasn't either of those. Out of this world was pretty fun though!

I was about to say much of the same thing as you... Out of this World (or, Another World) is hardly obscure, especially for PC users. It and Flashback (it's cousin/partner in crime) were quite successful on consoles, picking up where games like Karateka and Prince of Persia left off.

When I read, "Giant Boulder" & "Run from left to right" I instantly thought of Gambit's level in Spider-Man & X-Men. But I doubt that's it since there are eneimies
