Abe's Exoddus Cover's ??
 
I have always wonderd why AE has 2 covers.
I have this one http://www.gifgratis.net/immagini/Ps..._pal-front.jpg

But ive also seen this more common one around shops, Ebay/Amazon.

can someone clear up why there is 2 covers, thanks XD

Cause one's PAL and the other is American I guess?

PuddiinLOL :] 07-06-2010 05:29 PM

Hmm .. i remember seeing the other in a shop were i live before.

Sometimes you get one with a different cover in the wrong place. Hey, I found an NTSC copy of Crash 2 and boy was the box VERY DIFFERENT to the PAL version!

Maybe someone traded it in to a swap meet after buying it of eBay or something. I know, it sounds stupid, but it happens. XD

This was over 10years ago.

The PC version I own is closer to the NTSC Playstation cover.

its like the pc abe's oddysee cover, its different from the psx/psp cover.

The difference is between PAL and NTSC.
I have the latter.

I used to have the awesome PC box-set of Abe's Oddysee with the embossed creatures on the front, but I lost it.

never understood what 'Replay' meant

Some that have the bottle also have Abe diving into the brew (on the reverse or inside the cover/manual), but not all of them. Also, sometimes you have multiple with the same front, but a different back (or vice versa).
