In this video, Alpha Waves, released in 1990 for the Atari ST by Infogrames.
Bounce your way out in this 3D arcade-exploration game, mixed with puzzles that require physical and mental dexterity. The task is easy, you must take your little ship and bounce on several different platforms until you reach the exit of the room. There are 256 rooms, plenty of playing time awaits you together with fails and many "rinse and repeat".
The 3D graphics are simple and fast with some odd color choices, accompanied with some nice digital sound effects. It supports ST's high resolution mode. The playability is good and you can choose to play for score with time limits or to explore rooms without time limits and score. You can also play multiplayer but the graphics slow down too much IMHO.
Here you'll find loading screens and demo gameplay. Unlike the game itself, the demo gameplay uses half the screen to show how to play.
Fun fact: According to 'Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer's Edition', Alpha Waves was the first real 3D platform game ever created (info taken from www.atarimania.com)
All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.
