Oddworld is just one of those games I find in my aged, childhood game collection that I pull out and play every once in a while.
I have both the Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus game manuals next to me, at the moment. Right now, I'm perferably looking through the Exoddus game manual, cause that's the one I usually look through. I'd like to point out a few things that made me LOL in the little, old packet.
Remember the GT Store? That was awesome! If it were still out and selling collector's edition movie posters, t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and so on, I would've bought everything. I'm serious. That stuff is to die for. However, they are no longer selling. If fact, the GT Store is out of existence, I believe. If I ever run into Lorne Lanning someday, I'm asking him whatever happened to ol' GT Store.
On the Oddworld Quintology page, it actually gives a preview of the third Oddworld game Munch's Oddysee. Let me write down what it said:
"The next Quintology, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, will reveal a whole new way to explore Oddworld, thanks to a mind-blowing new game engine, and a cast of characters guaranteed to give you nightmares. Or sweet dreams. All depends on what you find cure and cuddly. Us, we go with cuddly. Especially if it has tentacles or nasty poison spikes that can penetrate you brain.
"Munch's Oddysee will peer deep into the strange and bizarre realities of those hanging out at the bottom of the food chain. You'll meet the cute and cuddly inhabitants anxiously waiting their turn to receive drops of acid in their eyes (don't worry, it's all in the name of a safer fabric softener). You'll talk with those who have donated their organs to science (before they were dead). How else can we learn if our new and improved products are truly safe for the most valuable creatures on Oddworld - The Khanzumerz! As they say at Vykker Labs, "It's OK, really, they won't feel a thing!" Munch's Oddysee: A Screaming Good Time."
...Who are the Khanzumerz? Then again, this preview was before we knew about the move to the Xbox, the 3-D enviornment, and all those bells and whistles.
There is much more to the manuals like little strips of humors here and there, but that is more than I can type up on one post.
Oddworld has been an on/off thing for me, like a lightswitch, and I only own Oddysee and Exoddus (since I decided to stay a loyal Playstation fan and not get an Xbox). Deep down, I'm still a fan of the game. Who knows? Maybe if Citizen Siege comes out, I'll be back in the swing of all this. Then again, that is another year from now...

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee manule
If you haven't read it or read it recently, want a good laugh and still have it, I strongly recommend you read. The first paragraph about the opening menu screen made me laugh out loud. Now I realise i've given this manule alot of hype, so you dont think its as good as I do, then you will upset me and ill will be glad I made you waste your time reading it!
Only joking.....................
