- The original Amiga version of the game is actually shorter than all the others. After some reviews criticized the length of the game, Eric Chahi added an extra level for all future releases.
- The console versions of the game had several elements included to make the game-play more difficult. In addition, new music was added throughout the entire game, and all scenes containing blood (or anything that resembled blood) were censored.
- In 2005 a 'Collector's Edition' was released by Eric Chahi. This version runs at a much higher resolution than the original, and contains far more detailed backgrounds and artwork.
- For the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version, Nintendo objected to a scene with a swimming pool in it, in which naked females were bathing. To give the impression that they were actually wearing swimsuits, the butt-cracks of the bathers sitting on the rock with their backs to the player were significantly reduced (at the time Nintendo had strict rules on questionable things such as excessive violence and nudity in their games).
- The 3DO version of Out of This World is quite different from the other versions in terms of graphics and sound. The polygon backgrounds have been replaced by hand-drawn versions, the quality of which varies from stunning to amateurish. Music is played quite consistently throughout the game. It somewhat resembles a film score, and is similar to the music in the Sega CD sequel Heart of the Alien (1994). The sound effects seem to be the same, however. Oddly enough, after the game is completed and the credits roll, the intro sequence from Heart of the Alien is played, with the same hand-drawn art style as the rest of the game. The gameplay has not changed at all.
- The Jaguar port contains an optional enhanced graphics mode (referred to as 15th anniversary mode), but everything else is identical to the original version, unlike the changes for the 15th anniversary version of the game.
