Description
Another World Part 7. Featuring the return of everyone's favorite ghost gunslinger. Thank you Terminace for the awesome thumbnail!

Classic Pursuit (DXL44) is a level created by DXL44 and the seventh level of the Another World collection. It features the return of Bond from Peer Gunt for a rematch - with him using far more weapons than in his first appearance. Several of his new guns are references to other games or Project Arrhythmia characters. Additionally, a small part of the level was animated by ol666.

Layout

Opening

A crosshair appears in the middle of the screen and shoots out explosions of eight bullets while walls appear on the left and right. Bond talks to the player about how they escaped before as the attacks continue throughout the section. Soon enough, the crosshair begins moving around as laser attacks begin to appear alongside it. At the end of the checkpoint, the crosshair stops in the middle and Bond appears, summoning dual pistols.

Checkpoint 1

Bond flies around the screen, shooting bullets. He jumps to the bottom of the screen, back to the middle, and starts rotating bullets. He shoots bullets left and right, while miniature versions of him shoot bullets. He goes to the middle, and starts the "Gun Shuffle." He uses a minigun on the left of the screen, and then uses a shotgun on the right, shooting two red blasts. He then uses a rocket launcher back on the left, then goes to the bottom and uses a T. B. that sweeps the screen. He goes to the middle and uses a grenade launcher and shoots two grenades that explode. He appears on the left to use a prism pistol, and then goes to the right and shoots a laser cannon twice. The nuke never happens, although it appears to be Bond.

Checkpoint 2

Bond becomes the nuke, and slowly grows bigger while shooting bullets, and occasionally lasers. He then shoots a flurry of bullets, and gets a blunderbuss. He goes to the left and right of the screen, shooting the blunderbuss, with his minions on the top and bottom, shooting bullets.

Checkpoint 3

Laser cannons appear on the top of the screen and shoot downwards. This attack pattern repeats, until a target appears on the screen and gets bigger. Bond appears and goes to the bottom of the screen. Bond goes in a vertical attack pattern, appears in the middle to shoot bullets, then starts a horizontal attack pattern. Then, he shoots bullets, while rotating.

Checkpoint 4

Red circles randomly appear on the screen. Bond appears on the bottom of the screen, looking up, while there is text saying "Escape! Again." Bond appears and throws two grenades. There are two rockets and Bond presses a button to launch them. Bond gets a cannon with a heart on it( a reference to Black Heart ) and shoots twice. He gets a minigun and sweeps the screen. Then, he gets a bullet that shoots two guns out. He shoots a spike cannon.

Checkpoint 5

Bond appears in the middle of the screen with dual pistols and a clock at the top and says that it's the end for the player, until the clock says it's day. Bond's eye turns white and he loses his hands. He exits to the top and the level’s credits appear.

Trivia

  • According to DXL44, this level was their favorite to make in Another World.[1]
  • At the beginning of the small section ol666 animated, the words "black heart surface tension" are extremely faintly visible.
  • Classic Pursuit is the only sequel to a level in The Peer Gyntening to be released.
  • The purple background in the beginning is a direct reference to the previous level, Ouais Ouais.
  • The cannon with a heart on it is a reference to Black Heart.
  • Classic Pursuit's ending is an inverse to the beginning of the level Peer Gynt by ol666 - which Bond's debut level was based off of due to being a part of the Gyntening. Rather than the clock counting down to night when Bond appears, it counts up to the daytime which forces him to leave.
  • The text that appears in the crosshair for a second at the beginning is randomized, and can be one of the following:
    • ”how?? why??”
    • ”p”
    • ”omg gd flashbacks lol xd”
