Been a long time since I played it but this is the game I have saved on my memory card...not my first time through, was my second or third
PS1 version (I've got it on the PC too, but in french for some reason)
*noses savegame*
4 hours 47 minutes
92 saved
0 casualties
So missing seven...that isn't bad, maybe I should play it again

I have no idea about the time, but before I got the 99 muds, I completed it a few times with 98... it was that damned scrabanian one that was missing (one in one of the temple vaults).

I've beaten it on both systems countless times.

The first time, I recall, was on playstation, and it took me from 1997-2000 to beat the game all the way through. (I was only 4 in '97). At the time, I had gotten the bad ending, but I don't remember any further than that.

Recently I decided to attempt all the games at 100% in the fastest time I could. AO was about 4 hours maybe? (PSX) On the PC it took me about 3 hours. (easier to control)

With the worst ending possible it only took me about 2 hours or so on both systems.

I've only ever owned the PlayStation versions, and I'm certain I could not manage it on a keyboard.

You could always get a game pad.

Bullet Magnet · #7 02-27-2009, 02:24 AM

When I already have the PS version? I generally steer clear of PC games if I can anyway.

Last time I played was a real long time ago... only thing I can say is that I saved them all

AlexFili · #9 02-27-2009, 04:32 AM

The PC and PS1 Controls are round about the same.

ORLY? Where can I find a PS1 controller with numbers 1-9 on them!?

Don’t forget zero for chanting!

Where can you find a PS1 controller at all?

Ebay.

Guekko · #14 02-28-2009, 03:10 AM

Hey, I technically use it on the PS2, not the PS1 *doesn't own a PS1*
I'm guessing the numbers are for the gamespeak, where on the PS controller it is just a two button combination, actually simple to remember once ye get used to it ^^

AlexFili · #15 02-28-2009, 03:19 AM

What I mean is that, there is nothing that cannot be done on either control scheme.
Although you get the 1-9 advantage with the keyboard, you also have the problem of holding shift and pressing up/space bar. Both control methods are similar enough to ensure that balancing is pretty fair.

Crashpunk · #16 02-28-2009, 08:44 AM

i didn't like the controls for abe's oddysee for PS1? i perfer it on pc and i never compleated it...

Andrelvis · #17 03-01-2009, 12:15 PM

What was your best time at the last Oddysee level guys? I was playing today and managed to get 1:15 left on the clock.

AlexFili · #18 03-02-2009, 09:13 AM

Not so good, probably about 30 sec or less

Crashpunk · #19 03-06-2009, 11:45 PM

I just tried the Boardroom level and managed to pull the final lever with just under 1·20 left on the clock. I could probably do it in several seconds less than that if I kept at it and perfected some timings.

Without.

Have you done it without getting Shrykull? It helps a lot.

Of course, and taking the shortcut at the start.

Incidentally, using noclip you can get to the end with 1·56 still on the clock.

What shortcut? You mean jumping the bomb in one of the first screens instead of disarming it?

oh god!

EDIT: 1:27

Chubfish · #27 03-07-2009, 10:34 PM

I think my record time when I did a speedrun for this was an hour exactly, didn't really upload it anywhere because my computer died on me.
1 mudokon saved.
30 something killed.
68 not saved.

***Xavier*** · #28 03-08-2009, 12:53 AM

Still, without saving anyone , one hour sounds impressive!

If you used noclip, couldn't you get to the boardroom without the clock even starting?

***Wil*** · #30 03-09-2009, 04:34 AM

No, it automatically starts once you float down past a certain point. Cunning, eh?
