17 times for one game! Wow! That's a lot Black Dragon! I think the most I've played any game is twice, and that was some game way back on my old Nintendo or something.
I have only completed each game once... but have a few "in progress" games that I play every couple of weeks or so to get my fix of Oddworld. On these, I'm aiming to save all Mudokons, and have not looked at a guide as yet. Plus when I had to play various stages to find the appropriate screen shots for Oddworld-Web's Layout.
I guess I don't sound like as much of a fan as you guys... not playing that much... but when you get to having to work every day, and having websites to maintain, you just simply don't have the time to play games that much. I haven't even finished Final Fantasy VIII yet, yet alone barely started on FFIX... so that's an indication of how little time I get to play games!!!
I like to show my dedication to Oddworld in other ways!
One day... one day I'll get the time to have an Oddworld gaming marathon... and just sit and play the games over and over!!!
