I was a latecomer to Oddworld. I first played Abe's Exoddus in April 2000 and really loved the game.
Our family was pretty late in getting a PSX... even though we had grown up with the Nintendo and Super Nintendo... we were playing PC games for a while until my brother got a PSX in about March 2000.
My other brother's friend lent us some games... Gex 2, Fade to Black, Die Hard Trilogy and of course Abe's Exoddus. As soon as I played it I loved the game.
Then in June I bought Abe's Oddysee for PC (I have no idea why I hadn't noticed these games before). Soon after I decided to check out the official Oddworld website and found out about the whole Oddworld Universe. I guess it was too late to turn back then... I was hooked!
