I played this game in 1999 when it was first released. It was the best looking game of 1999 that I had ever played (and I played many games that year and to date). Over the years I have played it various times and it has never has grown old. I always wished that Outcast 2: The Lost Paradise was developed and released but it never happened. APPEAL closed shop. When I heard that the founders of APPEAL bought the IP rights to the game, my hopes were revived and it looks like we just might have that opportunity to play a game in my opinion that holds the Best ever game title in gaming history. I emailed one of the founders and he replied stating he appreciated my enthusiasm and it is in the works again. So, Atari who held onto the IP rights all these years…shame on you and kudos to the APPEAL team. I look forward to the release of the second edition to Outcast. The original game will change your opinion to what action/ adventure gaming ought to be, so give it a try. You will experience a living adventure that is second to none. 1999 was a great year and soon I hope the second release will bookend that year.
