The 3-4 Finger Thing

[Feener]

I've noticed that abe had to change his hands for legal reasons and things in Japan so if abe isn't allowed 4 fingers howcome sligs can have 4 fingers because in FMV sequences in AE they have 4

I guess it's because sligs are considered to be baddies, so they can be looked down upon. Funny thing is, I've seen pictures of Astroboy (a Japanese cartoon) who has four fingers.

Sligs are the bad guys in the game so they may have 4 fingers... I guess.
And they are not so important as Abe which is the hero

[Oddsville]

I think it was because Abe was the slave, and because of Japananesse history slaves are the main reason that Oddworld had to take one of Abes fingers though, although I think that the Japanesse made it so now they can make money off of their history.

I think that whole theory is a load of crap Alf made up to be the wise guy he is. Four fingers may be taboo in Japan, but I think it's crap.
