5''Off-World Interceptor'' is a third-person VehicularCombat game, developed by Creator/CrystalDynamics and originally released in 1994 for the Platform/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer, and ported the following year for Platform/SegaSaturn and Platform/{{Playstation}} with the TotallyRadical name change to ''Off-World Interceptor Extreme''. The main draw - at least nowadays - are the supremely {{Narm}}[[BuffySpeak tacular]] {{Live Action Cutscene}}s, which are curiously [=MSTed=] in the game itself.

8!!This game contains examples of the following tropes:
9* BunnyEarsLawyer: Colonel Fancy (yes, really) considers your recklessness to be an asset, as his own men don't take as many risks.
10* ChewingTheScenery: The guy playing Fancy must've been picking the scenery out of his teeth for ''weeks''...
11* CoolButImpractical: You know, instead of that giant viewfinder... periscope... thing, they could've just put the information on one of the many monitors!
12* DefrostingIceQueen: You and Helga.
13* DramaticPause: Colonel Fancy... well, he... he has so many of these [[NoEnding ...]]
14* ItsUpToYou: ... even though they could quite easily order a full squadron to take care of this at pretty much any time.
15* JustifiedExtraLives: All of the player characters are clones.
16* LiveActionCutscene: This game used live-action for most of its cutscenes. In the ''Extreme'' port, the cursing was censored.
17* ProfessionalKiller: Your character, and pretty much the whole basis of this game's ExcusePlot.
18* RedShirt: See all those other "trash men" with you at the start of the game? Take a guess as to what happens to them.
19* ReformulatedGame: The "Extreme" port has different level design and subtle tweaks to the basic gameplay.
