Wondering....

[Zoolag]

I am jus' wondering wot actually happens once u save all 300 Mud's on AO? Do u get a special ending? R the Mudokons still trapped behind that cage thing (Thats so sad, especially wen one sayz "We'r Doomed")Can u help them, or is that jus' the ending wot eva u do?
Thanx

The special ending for saving all the three hundred mudokons is a little bit diferent from the good ending if you save at least half of them. But it doesn't mean there's no more mudokons to be saved. Actually, in Much's Oddysee, the next Oddworld game, Abe will have to save another hundreds of brothers from Glukkons facilities, and his last task will be to rescue a special mudokon, HIS OWN MOTHER!!!

In time, the muds in the cage are still there, even if you save 300

Yeh, but cud u explain wot actually happens plz

Well, I shoudn't do that. You should save all the 300 and find it out by yourself

But that's ok, I'll tell you.
After shutting down Soulstorm Brewery, you get that good ending movie you mentioned above.
Right after the movie, a couple of screens appear with congratulations stuff for saving all he 300 mudokons, and a few lines about Abe's mother (nothing new nowadays, but back to 1998, it was big spoilers!).
Then you watch another movie, but it's more like a slide show, with production pictures of Abe's Exoddus, many of them are already available now, in the web.

But I think the biggest bonus is to know that you made it. You hacked every singled screen of the entire game, and saved every single mudokon that was possible to save.

I hope Munch's Oddysee keep this "secret areas" concept, so that we can look behind every stone, avery tree, every wall, searching the next hidden area, full of desperate modokon slaves to be rescued.
