Oddworld.com from 1998

[Xavier]

As some of you may know, I've started working on and off on the Oddworld Library again.

I'm happy to report I finished capturing all the data that was salvaged from Oddworld.com in 1998/1999 on the Internet Archive to provide, I hope, a nicer exploration experience of this little time capsule.

You can access it via the homepage replica here:
http://oddworldlibrary.net/wiki/Oddw...1998_Home_Page

Or simply have a look at all the individual pages over here:

Note that each page has a link to the original Internet Archive page. All feedback is welcome, the Oddworld Library is still very much work in progress.

Happy surfing!

Nice, Xavier!

Q: "How does Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus fit into the whole Oddworld Quintology thingee?"
A: OK, here's the dilly (if I may use the vernacular): There are going to be FIVE main games in the Quintology (hence the 'quint'). Each of these main, five games will introduce a new character. The first game in the Quintology was Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. The second game in the Quintology will be Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. In between Quintology installments, there will be so-called "bonus games." Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus in one of these bonus games. Essentially, these bonus games use a modified version of the game engine that precedes it. So Abe's Exoddus uses a modified version of the Abe's Oddysee engine; if a bonus game is made between Munch's Oddysee and the next installment of the Quintology, it will use a modified version of Munch's engine. So you see, it's not nearly as complex as it might sound at first.

It was crystal clear back then.
