How much Oddworldian do you own?
 
How many of the Oddworld games do you own? Two copies of one game only counts as one! I own 3, AO, MO and SW. I also have the book!

Do you have any oddworld merch? I wanna hear you brag about it.

Laser 11-04-2007 11:31 AM

i had MO and SW but now i just have SW :fuzmad:

;) not really a member who is an oddworld veteren

Hobo 11-04-2007 11:44 AM

Where's the none option?

And why the hell is this in off topic? *moves*

OddjobAbe 11-04-2007 11:56 AM

I've been purchasing Oddworld merchandise ever since Abe's Oddysee was released. I successfully got hold of a leatherback copy of the OWI Art book - it is very nice, but very delicate. I'm not one of those guys who get obsessed with Oddworld, but I do very much enjoy collecting merchandise. I like to stare at the Munch's Oddysee can for about thirty seconds while it rests on my lap if I have nothing to do. It is attractive. And I have something no-one else does - a fully functional paramite bot that falls over a lot, but is pretty good, though I am still unable to share that with you at this moment. It rests on my desk at work.

Wil 11-04-2007 12:10 PM

All four games, although my Xbox died, so I can’t play MO or SW. Then again, I have both the PS and Windows versions of AO and AE. I also have two copies of the art book (one hardback, one limited edition), the Movies of Oddworld DVD, Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus—​The Movie on VHS, Music From Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath, Volume 1, the official walkthroughs, several posters, T‐shirts, stickers, Holiday cards, a whoopie cushion, Lorne’s and Sherry’s business cards, and so on. I had a list of it all, but I digilost it.

I used to get stuff off eBay, but then Cullen started using it.

Bullet Magnet 11-04-2007 12:27 PM

All the games and the hardback book. The essentials.

waaaaaaah 11-04-2007 01:19 PM

I have SW, although I want to buy the music for SW.

Oddys 11-04-2007 01:49 PM

I have all the games from the first days they are released.

Even AO and AE.

<- Hardcore Ancient Oddworldian. ;)

Jordan 11-04-2007 01:53 PM

I own all four games. AO and AE for the PS and the PC. And the Oddworld Art Book.

Alf Shall Rise 11-04-2007 04:41 PM

I have all games and the Oddworld Art Book...

metroixer 11-04-2007 04:49 PM

I own all 4 games, although AO is for my playstation.... Which broke.

Also my AE is with my brother who is in college at the moment, but I still consider myself a person who has it.

skillya_glowi 11-04-2007 05:07 PM

If I had the money, I'd buy all the Oddworld merchandise that exists. Unfortunately however, I only have Abe's Oddysee, Abe's Exoddus (copied from my friend's CD *COUGH*), and the softcover artbook. Owning MO would be pointless as I don't have a console.

*insert big sigh here*

I also have a rather large collection of articles from EGM magazine that I'd hunted down, even ones with only a passing mention of Oddworld. But of course that doesn't count D=

Xavier 11-05-2007 04:30 AM

Got the 4 games, hardcover and LE art of book, the AE movie, holiday cards, posters, t-shirts, magazines, stickers and other stuff...

abe is now! 11-05-2007 07:53 AM

I have AO and AE, but I was going to buy MO and my parents didn't want to do it, because I didn't have the XBOX and I cudn't buy it :fuzemb:.
Excuse me, I want to ask to the members who haven't any Oddworld game: why do you like Oddworld if you haven't any game?

OddjobAbe 11-05-2007 08:25 AM

They may have played the games.

Yes, but I think there aren't members here who haven't at least one Oddworld game.

AlienMagi 11-05-2007 09:40 AM

I have AO and AE.I wish soo much that I had MO and SW :(
Hobo don't you have any of theese gamez?

Chubfish 11-05-2007 09:59 AM

I have AO, AE and MO. I would of gotten SW but I just dunno why I didn't get it.

AO ftw!

As OJA just said. If they've played them and like them, they can be a fan if they want. You don't have to own every single thing to do with it to be a fan.

Ok, you can think what do you want. But But I think everybody have to find all the Oddworld secrets for be a very good fan. A superficial fan is someone who playes sometimes and doesn't follow the game and following games of that series. A very good fan is someone who is totally dedicated at a game, at producers and the upcoming games.... like our moderators. I think I am a good fan.

I very much disagree with you. I don't think you should have to do anything like discover all the secrets to be a very good fan. I think that all you have to do is to know that you're a fan (not think, know). In other words, you just have to feel dedicated to a series to be a fan.

Ok, ok, ok. Everybody hate my opinions. But I think OddjobAbe, I am not in this forum because I played two or three times an Oddworld game. What do you think about being a good fan?

OddjobAbe 11-05-2007 12:41 PM

Apologies MoxCo, I didn't see your post ;)

EDIT: Apologies, Abe Is Now, you only just posted before me
What I think about being a good fan? Exactly what I wrote previously. I don't hate your opinion, I merely disagree with it. You're entitled to your own opinion, and I accept that.

I want to be the best oddworld fan :D!!!!! I'm doing exactly what I wrote in my previous post. excuse me, but I can't stay where I am now...

AlienMagi 11-05-2007 12:52 PM

My gosh... Can we stop about this and talk about 'how many oddworld games do you own?'

OddjobAbe 11-05-2007 12:54 PM

What? It's short debates like that that makes the forums interesting. You can't have a discussion without having a disagreement somewhere along the line. It's absolutely fine just as long as it's not off topic.

AlienMagi 11-05-2007 12:58 PM

Yes yes go ahead but aren't you finished now?

OddjobAbe 11-05-2007 01:01 PM

Yes, we are finished with our short but interesting debate.

AlienMagi 11-05-2007 01:06 PM

Okay that's nice to hear.Anyways I don't have MO and SW because I never had - or even saw X-box (360)... I was about to buy it but I need money coz I'm buyng new motorbike...
And even if I'd buy it now I don't think I could buy MO and SW anywhere...But I'm really intrested what happned in theese two games...

OddjobAbe 11-05-2007 01:07 PM

You could get them in a pre-owned section of a shop. and I don't think Munch's Oddysee is compatible on the 360. Unless Microsoft have released another upgrade.

AlienMagi 11-05-2007 01:14 PM

Okay thanx.... but is there no one else who would like to tell us how many oddgamez do you own?

Wil 11-05-2007 02:27 PM

Without feeling obliged to go and conduct statistical analysis on OWF’s corpus of old ‘What merch ya got?’ threads, I’d say it’s appropriate, if not likely, that talking about how many of the games and how much official merchandise you own will raise the question of how relevant that is to being a ‘good’ fan, so I won’t be calling it off‐topic (although I do recall there being a thread for discussing this very thing not long ago, maybe we should consider a little sorting of posts between here and there?).

I treasure what I have for myself, but I would never use it to judge my own devotion to Oddworld against that of anyone else. The sense of involvement and interest you have in Oddworld or any other thing is an internal feeling, and however you feel the need to express it externally, you can only really know it and validate it yourself.

Munch’s Oddysee has been rendered forward compatible with updates already, albeit not without technical shortcomings, particularly in the area of audio. It’s Stranger’s Wrath that can not yet be played on the Xbox 360.

Those are ten digits. OWF will not allow any post to be made unless it contains at least ten characters, not counting quotations. Hence, if a post doesn’t require at least ten original and relevant characters, it must require ten pointless ones. I removed them to avoid confusion, and also because they’re ugly.

I don’t think you have to ask again. People will contribute if they want to based on the original premise of the thread.

moxco 11-05-2007 10:10 PM

Here in Oz, you can't go into a game shop that dosn't sell MO. Stranger, on the other hand, is as rare as gold.

Oh, yes. I went to GameTraders last week, I asked them to look up the nearest copies of SW... they said there was one in Cairns, and one in South Australia. Both second hand.
Of course they had a 'bargain bucket' at the front of the shop, in it I counted 3 copies of MO, and also they had one copy in EBGames a few shops back.



@_@

But anyway. how many do I have? Two; Munch's Oddysee was the first one I got, I got it for my birthday in 2001... or 2002, can't remember. Then just this year as a liate birthday present my very awesome bestest ever friend somehow managed to scab me a second-hand copy of Abe's Oddysee for the PC. Mwaah <3

Bullet Magnet 11-06-2007 04:06 AM

Wow, I remember walking into the store the very week SW came out to find it had a whole wall to itself. It's hard to believe just how rare it has become.

Try Amazon or something.

Oddey 11-06-2007 06:57 AM

I have every Oddworld game. I was something like 5 when I got the Abe's Oddysee. And I've been a fan ever since. I think I'm alot less dedicated to Oddworld than some people here though.

I bought my copy at Harvy Norman and it cost 85 bucks! luckily all Xbox games were reduced to half price.

I've seen a couple of copies at JB's HI-FI.
