[Facsimile]

When I received my Playstation for my birthday three years ago, I was extatic, but having no games for a week I played the demo disk over and over but two games had me hooked; the first, Overboard a weird little boat game which upon playing again recently I find that I hate it to bits. And the second, was the infamous Abe's Oddysee. I played it to bits, loving the possessing of what I thought to be some strange partially completed robots. I saved up for a month, doing every little job around the house to get thirty dollars, until the day finally came and I bought AO and was very impressed by the much longer opening movie. It was my second game, with Crash Bandicoot and Rock 'n' Roll Racing 2 tieing as first.

When I saw a magazine in a shop with Abe on the front, and a demo disk with him starring I bought it making that my first PSX magazine. It told me about the next Oddworld game and after the demo I knew I had to play it. I was too cheap to purchase the game myself though (it was eighty bucks and I was a mere child) and now look back on this sadly as it is not sold in NZ anymore. So I borrowed it from a friend and I was a full fan from then on.
