The Oddworld Topic

[spiraldoor]

This is the topic where we talk about...Oddworld!(duh).

So...if you would like to talk about the Oddworld games, then...talk about them! ( there is even a poll )

[El Dango]

You forgot the best game: Abe's Wrath!
Kiddin'. I think Oddworld is awesome.

[spiraldoor]

It's actually years since I've played the Oddworld games...looking at videos of Abe's Exoddus on YouTube brings me back...

[El Dango]

So many sweet memories...
Kinda strange, since i can't even pass level 2...

[spiraldoor]

I wonder what happens if you save all 300 Mudokons? I'm going to find out with Google...*goes to google*

EDIT: A secret FMV sequence. Nice.

[El Dango]

Sounds cool. I better check it out.

I have Munch's Odyssey for the GBA. It's that good though. Kinda glitchy. And WAAAY too hard.

[Limely]

I've got Munch's Oddysee for Xbox... It's really awesome. Unfortunately I can't play it now though as the xbox controllers are busted and it's impossible to find new ones here... I want a 360 though, then I'll be able to play it again I think. : 3 (but that'll have to wait until I've bought all my school-equipment hurrr~)

[spiraldoor]

I find it kind of annoying that the only console that Abe's Exoddus/Oddysee are on is PS1, and the only console Munch's Oddysee/Stranger's Wrath are on is Xbox.

NOBODY gets the full series.

NOBODY.

But I hope Marley comes here, since he said that Oddworld is one of his favourite game series on another topic.

And look, I've got an image:

Nice, no? I ripped it myself.

[Holy Crap]

INOBODY gets the full series.

NOBODY.

You do realise it's possible to own both a ps1 and an xbox?
I've never played any oddworld games. what are they actually about?

[El Dango]

It's about this world that has been taken over by the glukons.

They work together with the sligs.

They have enslaved the mudokons...

... and forced them to produce stuff like Scrap Cakes, Paramite Pies (scrabs and paramites are two different speices of Oddworld) and Soulstorm energy drink.
But one day, a mudokon named Abe discovers, that the glukons are trying to make food of the mudokons. Abe manages to escape. He discovers the world outside the factory he used to work in as a slave, and he finds out that he has a chance to free his friends from slavery.
Oddworld gives you the ability to speak with other characters, fart, run fast, deactivate mines and even create a portal, allowing the other mudokons to escape. It's fun, but hard.

These are the Scrabs:


These are the Paramites:


And this thing is a weird mythological hybrid of Scrab and Paramite, called a Shrykull:


Oddworld has some pretty amazing creatures.

[El Dango]

WOW! I've never seen the Shrykull before.
All i knew about was: Mudokons, glukons, sligs, slugs, scrabs, paramites, gabbons, chicken people, Strangers speices and those small, coloured creatures. And perhaps some more, that i don't remember.

[spiraldoor]

Don't forget Meeches ( which were driven to extinction by the Glukons )

[Joshua822]

Actually i played it to once (in the store) but i didn't like it. It's way to hard and i don't like the storyline.

[SamBeckett94]

Oddworld is freaking awesome. Need I say more? I remember it's release in '97. Great year.

[spiraldoor]

And it just...looks amazing

[Holy Crap]

Oddworld is freaking awesome. Need I say more? I remember it's release in '97. Great year.

I was 4 years old then.

[El Dango]
