Out of this World Ported to PSP

The Eric Chahi-developed Out of this World (known as Another World in some countries) may not be the most famous game around, but it certainly made its mark in the gaming community for introducing a cinematic style and feel to computer games. Originally created for Amiga, Atari ST, and DOS platform and finding its way to Mega-CD, 3DO, and Windows later on, Out of this World was able to create a sort of cult following with its groundbreaking graphics, sound, cutscenes, and in-game events.

If you were one of those mesmerized by the game before, or if you’re starting to wonder just what made this game a popular title during its release, I’m pretty sure you’re now clamoring for it to find its way to this generation’s console. Unfortunately, no such thing is being made public as of the moment – but one lucky soul by the name of gawd is able to play with Out of this World on his PSP.

gawd has ported Out of This World to PSP but due to some circumstances is unable to share either the binaries or source of his unofficial, coded-by-himself version of the game. His Out of This World game currently has faulty 16bit sound samples but there’s only one logic bug left making it “almost completable”. Using his “unlimited bragging rights”, he now shares with us some images of his Out of this World port…evil, evil as he perfectly knows we can’t get our hands on it.

Maybe we should all start praying now to the video game gods to grant us the same wonderful privilege gawd is enjoying…or we can just sit back and forever envy gawd. Which do you prefer? I’d easily go for the first, especially since gawd leaves us with a hopeful, “I might be able to squeeze out a binary only PS2/PSP elf/iso of the 3DO version”.
