This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Outworld 2375 AD is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive fitness action driving game scheduled to be published by HeartBeat Corporation sometime in late 1994 or early 1995. Specifically designed to utilize the fitness sensor-integrated Mega Drive peripheral the HeartBeat Catalyst[1]

A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Query: SELECT `cargo__issuenames`.`name` AS `issuename`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date` AS `date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf` AS `pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name` AS `magname`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` AS `country` FROM `cargo__issuenames` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__magnames` ON ((`cargo__issuenames`.`code`=`cargo__magnames`.`code`)) WHERE `cargo__issuenames`.`code`="sv" and `cargo__issuenames`.`num`="15" ORDER BY `cargo__issuenames`.`name`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` LIMIT 1 Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Error: 1021 Disk full (/tmp/#sql-temptable-15e6a-1507f4-48.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space... (errno: 28 "No space left on device") (localhost)

[4], it would have been one of very few games to feature compatibility with the unique exercise hardware, but ultimately went unreleased.[5]

Gameplay

Outworld 2375 AD was described in a February 1994 Chicago Tribune as allowing players to "choose from five drastic environmental conditions on a planet wracked by natural disasters".[6]

History

One of the game's only known appearances, published in Sega Visions, issue 15.
A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading? Query: SELECT `cargo__issuenames`.`name` AS `issuename`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date` AS `date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf` AS `pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name` AS `magname`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` AS `country` FROM `cargo__issuenames` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__magnames` ON ((`cargo__issuenames`.`code`=`cargo__magnames`.`code`)) WHERE `cargo__issuenames`.`code`="sv" and `cargo__issuenames`.`num`="15" ORDER BY `cargo__issuenames`.`name`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` LIMIT 1 Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Error: 1021 Disk full (/tmp/#sql-temptable-15e6a-1507f4-4c.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space... (errno: 28 "No space left on device") (localhost)
[7]

Outworld 2375 AD was advertised alongside NHLPA Hockey '93 as "the second wave of HeartBeat games".

A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

Query: SELECT `cargo__issuenames`.`name` AS `issuename`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date` AS `date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf` AS `pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name` AS `magname`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` AS `country` FROM `cargo__issuenames` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__magnames` ON ((`cargo__issuenames`.`code`=`cargo__magnames`.`code`)) WHERE `cargo__issuenames`.`code`="sv" and `cargo__issuenames`.`num`="15" ORDER BY `cargo__issuenames`.`name`,`cargo__issuenames`.`date`,`cargo__issuenames`.`pdf`,`cargo__magnames`.`name`,`cargo__magnames`.`country` LIMIT 1 Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Error: 1021 Disk full (/tmp/#sql-temptable-15e6a-1507f4-50.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space... (errno: 28 "No space left on device") (localhost)

[8] While the latter did see the light of day (notably lacking HeartBeat Catalyst support), the former had its release cancelled. Preview copies of the game were sent to a number of video game magazines for review, with most articles commenting on it's unique fitness capabilities: The faster the user exercises, the faster the player ship travels. Exercise too fast and the ship will overheat and explode, and exercise too slowly and it will lose momentum and crash.

Legacy

Development

Originally known under the working tile Outworld[10], Outworld 2375 AD progressed as far along into development as to acquire an official UPC code, and photographic slides were produced and sent to a few contemporary video game magazines. Additionally, a collector in Lansing, Michigan claims to own a prototype copy of the game, a claim with appears to be genuine.

While the company which developed Outworld 2375 AD is unknown, Heartbeat Corporation's only other video game, Outback Joey, was developed by Western Technologies.
