Leeeets seeeeee
I first played oddworld maybe in 5th grade (10 or 11) at a Walmart, playing the MO Demo, where you controlled the snoozer in Vykker's labs. thought it was pretty damn swank.
Didn't think much about it, and I remember a friend of mine (Zach Roy Wilson, a member of this forums long long ago) at school would talk about these creatures named sligs. Everybody else was mean to him, so I kinda was too and didn't think much about that.
Lo and behold, fastforward a few units of time to when I'd help out at my lil bro's kindergarten class. For whatever reason, his teacher had a copy of Abe's Oddysee. I remembered the demo and played a bit, convincing his teacher to let me keep it since it was rated T for Teen and he teaches Kindergarten. >.>
I was looking through the manual and saw the slig bad guys, instantly remembering what Zach had been talking about. That launched a long lasting friendship that more or less remains to this day (he's a drastically different fellow) and soon after I got AO too but sadly no longer have a working Playstation to play them on (I have AO for pc and PSX and AE for PSX) and the emulators on the computer don't work all to well. But since I recently got an Xbox, I've been playing MO and SW quite fine.
There's my answer
