Okay, so let's get to finding the game's developer. [[Western Technologies]] is the most likely candidate, due to them being the developer of ''Outback Joey'', but there are other connections. Could have been [[Park Place Productions]], but my gut tells me probably not. [[Microprose]] though... they developed racing games like this one around the same time, and they could definitely do an OutRun-style road like we're seeing here. Hm. Any leads/angles/thoughts?

Revision as of 04:52, 8 October 2021

Development schedule

Would have likely been developed alongside Outback Joey (by Western?), was likely finished around the same time, or very very close to being finished. The game was probably virtually complete around late 93/sometime into 94, with its release around late 94 or posssibly early 95.

Developer research

Okay, so let's get to finding the game's developer. Western Technologies is the most likely candidate, due to them being the developer of Outback Joey, but there are other connections. Could have been Park Place Productions, but my gut tells me probably not. Polygames though... they developed Road Blasters which is kinda like a cheap OutRun-style road like we're seeing here, but... I don't know, Polygames feels a little too cheap for the artstyle we're seeing in the screenshots, but who knows... Hm. Any leads/angles/thoughts? CartridgeCulture (talk) 04:01, 8 October 2021 (EDT)

Can anyone find this critical Outworld 2375 AD Nintendo Age thread?

  • Unseen64 references a Nintendo Age thread where a collector posts an image of promotional screenshot films for Outworld 2375 AD, and later another collector (notably from Lansing) states he owns a prototype. While Unseen64 claims they're linking to the Nintendo Age thread, its instead a dead link to some website called GoCollect? It's also unarchived, and I'm not able to locate the original thread. However, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Nintendo Age. Is anyone able to somehow find the original thread, or at least a cached copy of it/some information/the text/anything?
