I have seen the Light...and it was Odd
 
the other day i happened to stumble upon Abe's Exodus (PC) so i decided to give it a go. Man i am HOOKED! this is a great game. SO then later i go to EBgames and pick up Munch's Odyssey as well!

this is an amazing series of games that is really under rated!! like the characters and the whole setting of oddworld is amazing.

I will probably pick up Stranger Wrath once i get some more cash but i wanna spend some time on these 2 games and finish em first.

You should pick up Abe's Oddysee as well. It was the first and is the only thus far to contain Elum. Plus you can pick it up from gamestop or Eb used for 99 cents.

But yes. Be one of us.

I'd have to agree with Volsung, to really experience the series, despite the fact that I believe Abe's Exoddus is my favorite of the first three, you have to own the first game to really understand a lot more too of Abe's story. :fuzsmile:

most of the backstory is on munchs oddesy
its in the movies section
it tells you the jist of the two games
but playing them is better than watching ten minutes of cutscenes

Treble 01-29-2005 08:47 AM

ya i watched that long cutscene so i get the jist of it

my EB didnt have oddesey
i even check the net but couldnt find it
and we dont have GameStop in Canada

HUZAH!!!!!!!!!!
another has seen the light

It's good to see more people are getting hooked on the Oddworld series. Keep 'em coming :p.

Treble 01-29-2005 04:42 PM

its really overlooked
i kinda got into it cuz of the huge response from stranger
so i decided id play the previous games first then get strangers wrath

its nice to see games that actually have great gameplay and story and are not Final Fantasy type games which are a dime a dozen

New odd Fan is borned :P

When reading the first post, I was totally confused. Xavier finding out about abe exodus?? Picking up munch too??? How old is this thread was my next thought. Then I saw it, it wasn't Xavier, but someone with his avatar. Please use another one, I don't want to be confused all the time.

Xavier 01-30-2005 03:12 AM

Yeah, it's confusing when new people use avatars that long time members already have for a couple of years. But there is no rules against it, so we can simply ask nicely:

Treble, can you please change your avatar?

_GrubHunter_ 01-30-2005 03:40 AM

I was have this problem too - Two users, already have my avatar - so, I was changed to Vykker.

Fuzzle Guy 01-30-2005 04:07 AM

Yeah, I though it was Xavier posting, changing it would be a good Idea

Oddish 01-30-2005 08:29 AM

Yeah, I got confused with an other member having Alcar's avater, Alcar told if he could change his avater (becuase he had it for 3 years) and the member did. It's funny thuogh.

I got real hooked with the games too. Like when I first heard "A guy can possess his enimies!?!, that's new"

Wil 01-30-2005 11:50 AM

I think OWF could do with some new “Here're some I prepared earlier” avatars, but this topic belongs in FS&H.

Welcome to Oddworld, Treble. It's great to know that even today Oddworld can appeal to new people and obtain new fans.

Treble 01-30-2005 01:22 PM

lol sorry i just picked a simple one ill chaneg it no worries

Kimon 01-31-2005 05:28 AM

I'm glad another fan has arisen. :)

Congrats on discovering Oddworld! I see you're in Ontario as well. I had a really difficult time finding Abes Oddyssee. Do you have a PSOne? Because I managed to buy an inexpensive used copy off of www.ebaygames.com

I actually had my xbox and Munch's Oddysee first, and then went back and bought a PSOne just for the first two Oddworld games. They are my favourite games by far.

Treble 01-31-2005 10:50 AM

ya i dont have a PS1 so i just got the PC version of exodus
actually beat it the other night and am half through munch's oddysee

Fuzzleman54321 02-27-2005 12:33 PM

You can also get oddworld Abe's oddysee for PC too!

Abe16 02-27-2005 12:59 PM

Im only have Abe's oddysee for Playstation. And it was the bomb! when I found it!
