fabventure2600 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Is it possible a Interplay´s Famous Game Out of this World,has a 2600 Port? if OTW non possible to the Vcs,Maybe the 7800 version can be good isn it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It was bearly possible on a computer as fast as the IIgs (2.6Mhz IIRC), and I think that was the slowest computer they released it on. No way in heck the 2600 could do it. The Jag could handle it nicely (like Flashback). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmips Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I haven't ever played "Out of this World" aka "Another World", but did you know that there is a 'free' GBA release? Another World GBA ROM Any game, 'within limits' is possible to port to the 2600, it all depends on how much limits you are willing to forgive. The Crazy Balloon port is a much better game 'for the 2600' than say DOOM or HALO. I'd probably defer to Tempest on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi there! Is it possible a Interplay´s Famous Game Out of this World,has a 2600 Port? This game was developed by a french company called Delphine, not Interplay. IIRC it was called "Another World" in Europe. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It was bearly possible on a computer as fast as the IIgs (2.6Mhz IIRC), and I think that was the slowest computer they released it on. No way in heck the 2600 could do it. The Jag could handle it nicely (like Flashback). Flashback only uses the polygon renderer for cutscenes, and whoever ported it did an awful job, apparently using straight unoptimized 68K code. The slowdown in some of the cutscenes is horrid. Of course the 2600 could do it if everything was converted to a sprite, but a lot of the appeal of Out of This World was the graphics, so there wouldn't be much point. You'd end up with something like 2600 Double Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest 997746[/snapback] and with"low-square-pitfall-side-scroll" graphic style?not considering landscape´s details from the original version and"reallistic"speed moves of course, and otw change"scenes"from the bottom to the top during the game,its not possible yet?(if ithe answer is "not" i promisse not extend the question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmips Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Try it on the PC. Unpack this Another World Win32 and then unpack this into the same folder (or play this DOS version) Another World DOS The Win32 version in first link needs the resources from the DOS version. Beware, the Win32 version was a work in progress, so if you 'get into' this game and it crashes unmercifully, you have been warned. There is source available for the Win32 version (basis for DreamCast version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabventure2600 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Man,i tryng to "Mock up"the ideia about landscape and graphics here with a paintbrush,but it was a wrong choice(so wrong,by the way),where i find a software to mock atari graphics here(sorry im a newbye)to explain the Atari AW(or OTW) screenshots look...

Lord-Chaos Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 There IS an ATARI 800 XL version of Another World. I have the disk image somewhere. There are no cutscenes and it uses sprites, but it does exist. I'm not sure if it's finished, I don't get far in the game. An ATARI 7800 version is possible, based on sprites. With big enough carts, smooth animations are possible, stored on the carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) No. Don't want another Double Dragon for the 2600 in terms of games that shouldn't be ported to the 2600. I think is more suited for thejaguar, maybe the lynx,and the 7800. 7800 can do up to 512K cartridge games. I think that is half of the genesis game for out of this world in terms of memory.

On the 2600, it would be doable. Maybe similar to Smurf, which is screen to screen, too. Anybody who wants the disk-image, please contact me.

Jess Ragan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The only question is, why would you want it? Out of this World gives players almost as much freedom to explore their environment as Dragon's Lair... almost. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dumped the contents of the download into my inducer folder (subdirectory of SBinducer) and was able to create an image that way. The game seems much harder than I remember! Stupid worms with fangs! Anyways, I uploaded the file for anyone who doesn't want to mess with creating an image themselves. It should burn easily with software like Discjuggler or Alcohol 120%. Another World BTW, this image won't work in Chankast, because SBinducer discs crash the emulator.

I can't believe they even tried to get it on the Atari XL. Then again, without the cool cutscenes the game kind of sucks... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabventure2600 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 i think in 2600 is possible to do"very short"cuts similar,or to remember the main version,ill try to mock some images later.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I wouldn't have believed it. Wow... I can't believe they even tried to get it on the Atari XL. I'll believe it when I see the ATR. Never ever heard of this. I wonder if it's just something some demo crew threw together that only has a few screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's just something some demo crew threw together that only has a few screens? You can only play a few screens but, yes, it looks like the real thing. It was programmed by Robert Drag of Poland. I don't see why the game couldn't be fully done on the A8, it's just a matter of finding someone with enough time, motivation and coding talent. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
