I was unfortunate in the sense that gaming was new to me in my early childhood (or not depending on how you look on it...I found this great place called 'the outside' for example.) By 2005, when I was given a PS1 by this girl I was friends with, Oddworld was defunct without me even knowing of its existence. I got AO sometime in 2005/2006, a gift from my Uncle along with some other PS1 classics. Instantly, Oddworld became my favourite game...well not instantly, my ten year old game couldn't quite comprehend the game play because I didn't know the story behind it so I think it sat in the dust for a month or two, then when I got tired of relentlessly playing Omega Soldier, I picked it up again, and then finished it in days. To this day I'm still playing AO on my PS1, and I can never thank my Uncle enough for getting me into the franchise.
Also...nothing in Oddworld scared me I don't think, I guess I was too old to be scared by it but my brother who was younger distinctly remembers being scared of slogs and glukkons after Molluck's clothes were zapped off.
