Richard Ziebart, historian for the nearby 417th Night Fighter Squadron, heard many of the stories directly from the 415th crew members: “The pilots were very professional. The objects flew alongside aircraft at 200 mph they were red, or orange, or green they appeared singly or with as many as 10 others in formation and they often out-maneuvered the airplanes they were chasing. The display continued for several minutes and then disappeared.” Meiers gave these objects a name, taking a nonsense word used by characters in the popular “Smokey Stover” firefighter cartoon: “foo fighters.” “Schlueter turned toward the lights and they disappeared,” the report continued. They described seeing “eight to 10 bright orange lights off the left wing…flying through the air at high speed.” Neither the airborne radar nor ground control registered anything nearby. Meiers, and intelligence officer Fred Ringwald-was flying along the Rhine north of Strasbourg. One night in November 1944, a Bristol Beaufighter crew-pilot Edward Schlueter, radar observer Donald J. Along with details of dogfights over the German-occupied Rhine Valley, pilots began reporting inexplicable lights following their aircraft. Just keep restarting the game until it asks you for one you have the answer.Toward the end of World War 2, mission updates from the 415th Night Fighter Squadron took a mysterious turn. The answers are in the extras, but several are missing. The game will ask you for copy protection. Otherwise you should better go and play a decent adventure instead. So if you're a fan of weirdness or Ed Wood, then you should definitely try this game. So you can say the game is being true to the movie. Heck, it even works in WinXP.Īll in all this game would not be worth playing and I'd consider it crap, if it weren't based on the worst film ever. The game plays well in DOSBox and VDMSound, so there are no real compatibility issues. There's no speech and extremely little sound effects (the first one should be a cough, but sounds more like a stomp). Yet like with the interface it gets annoying. Music contributes to the general feeling.
OUTER SPACE GREMLIN CARTOON MOVIE
The film you get to see is actually quite well made (considering they tried to cover a real movie into something that would play as an animated sequence in the game). There are only a few animated scenes in the game. Graphics are good enough, but mostly static. So it's all simple enough, but by far not the best interaction option (even for 1992). The rest of the background is just something taken out of the movie. In order to pick something up you need to click on TAKE and then go to the interaction screen. On the bottom right side is the list of commands. In the middle there's the interaction screen (the still picture that sometimes moves) with which you can interact. Once the copy-protection is passed you'll get a large screen. You get to chose the language and answer the copy-protection question (the file provided is incomplete, so you might have to start the game several times). Maybe somebody got so ashamed of this movie and wanted to prevent the screening… I just can't understand why this movie was hidden in several locations all over the globe. It's the actual movie Plan 9 from Outer Space. There are several places where you can watch the movie, so every time you find another reel give it a go. Off course it's this movie the game is based upon. I won't revil much of the plot, except that you have to find the missing movie reels (as if there's much more of the plot anyway). As an adventure game it's fairly simple and straight forward, but I provided a walkthrough as well. So I got the feeling that everything that was bad in the game was made that way intentionally. The game let's you explore the world, that's a mixture of reality in which Ed Wood lived and a fantasy that he made. I've watched the movie twice after I played the game, so I'd make up my mind, but I'm still not sure. I'm still not sure if this game is brilliant or crap! I'm not kidding.
The game was made in three languages (English, German and French). It was made in 1992 by Gremlin Graphics LTD. Now imagine my surprise, when I discovered they made a game based on this movie. This was also Bela Lugosi's last movie (you should know who Bela Lugosi is). He made a cult movie (becoming a cult movie by being so bad) entitled Plan 9 from Outer Space. He's only the worse movie maker in history (at least that's what they claim).
