I played Abe's Oddysee when I was very young. I was scared shitless of it! Being chased by Scrabs was one of the scariest gaming moments i'd ever had at that age (until Tomb Raider came out... I still can't play that, scares the crap out of me). I played it, and so did my dad. I played it through to the end and got the bad ending, so then I just cheated to get the movie gallery.
Yeah, I was into cheats then.
After that, I bought a demo for Abe's Exoddus and played it. I don't even think I finished the demo.
Then Munch's Oddysee came out for the Xbox, and I insisted we get it. I never finished it, got frustrated with it, then sold it.
Then just last year is when the wrath of Oddworld hit me. All it took was one thought of Abe's Oddysee. That led to me re-buying Munch's Oddysee, purchasing Abe's Oddysee from Ebay (I couldn't find the original), purchasing Stranger's wrath from ebay and finally getting my brother to purchase Abe's Exoddus from Ebay as I had no money left.
I finished Munch's Oddysee and loved it, although it is still fairly frustrating to me.
I played through all of Stranger's Wrath. I loved it all the way through. A truly amazing and thoroughly original game. That and I love First Person Shooters, yet this was a whole new thing for me.
Abe's Oddysee I can only play when I have access to a Playstation 2 (Holidays). I still think it's the absolute best, though I haven't re-finished it yet.
Abe's Exoddus... havnen't been on holidays since we got it, so i've only played it briefly at a friends house. I'll get right into it when I bring the Ps2 up to Queensland.
And that's how I got hooked.
