Hello!
This is my first thread on oddworld forum. I played Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus on pc when they came out for almost a decade ago. 2 years ago I bought the slim version of PS2. Since then I have got hold of Oddysee & Exoddus to PS. But I have never got around to start playing again. But last week I got some time, and I startet to play. BUT, the problem is, that I cant save the the game on my memorycards. Just autosave. I bought a new card, since I thought they where broken. But no. Must I have PS1 to save the game?
Can anyone tell me about this?

I have all the pc versions, Playstation & xbox oddworlds games....
I just got hold of a hardcover version of The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants. The first ten years. 1994 - 2004. Love the book....
