Oddworld...a cult classic?
I have failed to be here for quite some time, so if there's already a thread on this, I offer my appologies. Anyway.
In a recent issue of, I believe, EGM magazine, they featured a list of the Top Ten Cult Classics of Gaming, defining a cult classic as, "A game that overachieves in the critic's minds, yet underpreforms in the mainstream."
In other words, a game that everyone agreed was totally awesome, but (almost) nobody played because it got buried in the hype of Behead Tournament 4, shall we say.
But all chit-chat and banter aside, it seems that Oddworld (Abe's oddysee, to be specific) ranks at #10 on the list.
Any thoughts?
