He's 4, the 5 means he just confused.

Leeeets seeeeee

I first played oddworld maybe in 5th grade (10 or 11) at a Walmart, playing the MO Demo, where you controlled the snoozer in Vykker's labs. thought it was pretty damn swank.
Didn't think much about it, and I remember a friend of mine (Zach Roy Wilson, a member of this forums long long ago) at school would talk about these creatures named sligs. Everybody else was mean to him, so I kinda was too and didn't think much about that.
Lo and behold, fastforward a few units of time to when I'd help out at my lil bro's kindergarten class. For whatever reason, his teacher had a copy of Abe's Oddysee. I remembered the demo and played a bit, convincing his teacher to let me keep it since it was rated T for Teen and he teaches Kindergarten. >.>
I was looking through the manual and saw the slig bad guys, instantly remembering what Zach had been talking about. That launched a long lasting friendship that more or less remains to this day (he's a drastically different fellow) and soon after I got AO too but sadly no longer have a working Playstation to play them on (I have AO for pc and PSX and AE for PSX) and the emulators on the computer don't work all to well. But since I recently got an Xbox, I've been playing MO and SW quite fine.

There's my answer :D

I started playing when I was about 9 because I got it late LOL!
I kept asking my brother to play it but he didn't half the time XD!

What that about CRAZY Oddworld?

he's been going on about it, crashpunk. i think he's a fan.

A fan? A FAN? I'm thinking maybe that's a bit of an understatement.

Oh right :P sorry guys!

Wow I'm really feeling old now! I was 22 (going on 23) when AO came out (1997 it came out on PS1 right?)

AO and AE are still top of my all time favourite games.

I was 14 when AO came out on 9/17/1997. I picked up my reserved copy after school that day and immediately began dumping many hours into it. However, the summer before that was when i received my Playstation Underground Demo Disc, so that would have actually been the first time i played it. It is now twelve years later, i'm working on a Bachelor's Degree in Video Game design, and I still consider Oddworld to be one of the best games ever made.

I remember playing the very original ps1 demo on the "demo 1" disk that came with our Playstation. I was about 4 or 5. I fell in love with the demo and soon after my dad bought AO and AE for it. That was many years ago and now I can't find the disks so I bought them off Steam when they were released as the double pack for like 5 bucks or something. I play 'em 24/7

I Started with abes odysee, I was thirteen. Saved 55 mudokons on my first try. I fell in love with oddworld, ever since.

I first played it when i was four.

I had a PS1 with a demo which had Abe's Oddysee on it in 1999.

Loved it ever since. :)

started playing with 2 im 12 + today is 5 my birthday that means im 13 now and i had my own names for the creatures :D

I starded out when I was 6 or 7 with my brothers copy of Abes Exoddus. I never could master the run-jump...

That make no sence at all.

i was about 5 when i first played oddworld it was AE and i could never get past the fleeches i had a recurring nightmare about them.eventually i reasoned with them through my toilet and in the dream we made a rock band.

he's talking in Rijekan code.

I was a wee boy. When my brother or much older cousin would play then demo of AO when that first came out I was shit scared of it. However now I love it, I just finished AE about 4 days ago actually missing about 5 Mudokons...

I was about 7 when I first played Abe's Oddysee on the PS1. I got addicted and drew my first fanart after playing it all the way through :D (Of course, Sligs were my favourite characters ;))

And I was so excited when I first heard about Abe's Exoddus being due for release... Those were the days.

I was 7 when I first played AO, and 8 when I played AE. Exoddus really got my attention when I heard you can manipulate Scrabs and Paramites ;)! I never had money to buy the games (boohoo..) so my best friends always bought them. Both AO and AE for PS1. We used to play the games all day, and at least I still do :D!

I'm now 19 and still playing these games so it tells I really love them :D
