Alright kids, I've got some US release dates for you.
First off, Max introduced me to the "WayBack Machine," which is what I used to find this info.

Okay...AO release date is 09/19/1997
Multiple sources corroborate this info.

Well, after looking through old websites for a while, I remembered that the Art of Oddworld book mentions when the games come out. I looked to see if it had specific dates, and sure enough...it did.
AE Release Date(according to AoOWI): 11/23/1998
However, three seperate old sites have three different dates.

I don't know what to make of this...

Lastly, I haven't searched for a MO release date on the net, but the AoOWI says this...and it seems familiar.
MO Release Date: 11/15/2001
