Unless they really tweaked the timing windows on everything, in which case I can't wait to hear the complaints about how it's completely devoid of challenge.

I remember playing this a lot on, at the time, a pretty uber PC I never did beat it, and this has more replay ability with the different difficulty levels!

The main point of frustration (and challenge) was the incredibly tight timing windows for actions, and I'm pretty sure they opened those up a lot wider to allow for touchscreen controls. That just seems wrong to me.

I probably won't install this game on Game Center if it has leaderboards because it would be annoying if anything in that area was at all glitchy, but Out of this World was definitely my first choice for Amiga ports to iOS, and so far this version has gotten great acclaim. MJFox Well-Known Member Aug 18, 2009 119 0 16 Vienna, Austria #17 MJFox, Sep 21, 2011 does it support the iCade like Flashback? BR MJFox caanerud Well-Known Member Mar 28, 2011 998 0 0 #18 caanerud, Sep 21, 2011 I don't understand the file sizes for these games. Why can the SNES version fit into 1 MB? Most of the 16-bit games from back in the day look better than many 2D IOS games and they look better....and sound better....and play better....and the file sizes are tiny. Graymalkin Well-Known Member Jul 4, 2011 182 0 0 Gentleman Adventurer. Lancaster, UK http://graymalkin.posterous.com/ #19 Graymalkin, Sep 21, 2011 Because it had to. A surfeit of available memory has made programmers... shall we say 'less ruthless' when it comes to using memory. (I can still remember the first memory expansion I was given one birthday - it put my computer's memory up to a whole 2K!) Zevious Zoquis Well-Known Member Sep 20, 2010 957 0 0 Canada #20 Zevious Zoquis, Sep 21, 2011 Well for one thing the original SNES game would likely have been something like 360 x 240 resolution. But I don't think its at all true that most 16 bit games look (or sound or play for that matter) better than many IOS games (and I love the old games). I mean just listen to the howls of consternation that occur everytime a game releases nowadays that isn't universal and people have to run it at 2x on the Ipads...
