Oddworld AO/AE BG rips

Hi! This is my first post here, so, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Felix and I am an extreme enthusiast of 2D games and was very disappointed to find out that MO would be a 3D game. If I recall correctly, wasn't MO originally going to be a 2D game as well? Perhaps I am just very confused, but I've been following the series since AO first came out, and I distinctly remember seeing a 2D sprite of a big-bro slig and a doozer very early in the development...?

Anyway, the main reason I joined these forums was because I was curious if anyone had ripped (extracted) the backgrounds from AO/AE? I find that the backgrounds and sprites for these games are some of the most intricate and beautiful I've ever seen in videogames before. If these BGs haven't been extracted before, does anyone know of any tools I could use to do it myself? I have the PC *and* PS1 version of AO, as well as PS1 AE. Perhaps these extremely high-quality BGs could be added as a part of TOGG if I (or someone else) gets around to extracting them? I've found many high-quality screenshots from AO and AE but I'm searching for a complete archive of all backgrounds in the game (without enemies/characters blocking parts) so these really aren't enough for me.

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, or has already been asked.
