Off-World Interceptor Extreme (オフワールド・インターセプター エクストリーム) is a Sega Saturn action driving game developed by Crystal Dynamics. An enhanced port of the developer's titular 1994 3DO Interactive Multiplayer game Off-World Interceptor, it was first published in the United States by Crystal Dynamics themselves in October 1995, and was brought to Europe the following month. Later that November, BMG Victor localized and published Off-World Interceptor Extreme in Japan.

Versions

Both the original and Extreme are slightly notable for its cutscenes, featuring two guys making comedic comments on the live-action cutscenes in the style of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Interestingly, the Japanese versions remove said elements, instead featuring dubbed versions of the original, non-commentated cutscenes, and are the only versions to feature said original footage.
