Is it still worth playing?

Eric Chahi's 1991 two dimensional cinematic platformer for the Amiga and Atari ST, sold in North America as Out of This World. A physicist, Lester Knight Chaykin, is teleported to an alien planet by a particle accelerator accident, is captured and escapes with an alien named Buddy. Lester starts unarmed and later gets a laser pistol with standard fire, force fields and a charged shot. A projectile hit or a hazard ends the game at once, with frequent checkpoints. There is no HUD apart from an oxygen bar in swimming sections, no on screen text and no hints, and the characters speak an unintelligible language. Chahi filmed himself performing basic actions and converted the footage into vector animation. Because everything is learned from the world, with checkpoints close together to keep instant deaths manageable, it still teaches itself as you play today.
