I don't know if any of you heard the news, but a fully 2000/XP/Vista compatible version of both Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, is available on Steam as of yesterday. I purchased both in their $13 (right now anyway with the discount) package. I'm still waiting on Abe's Exoddus to download, but it's great to be able to play the original again!

That big sign looks pretty pointless.

I wonder why the glukkons and the sligs even made it.

Well, they do kill 28 of the Mudokens if you escape without rescuing them first.
And I hand it to these people.. in the first game, you certainly do feel like an escaping slave. o_o
And now that this is on Steam, I'm wondering if the Windows version of Out of this World/Another World will come too... that game was sweet. It kind of has a similar feel.

The Oddworld page on Wikipedia wrote:
A future game has recently been confirmed by Maxis co-founder Jeff Braun. Speaking at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, Braun said of the team, "They're such a talented group of people and I really trust their ability to create compelling content." He said that the upcoming game will have a cinematic quality on a "one to one scale" with CGI-based films. He also noted however, that a slow production schedule could make it "years" before the game sees release.

The good thing(s): New Oddworld game.

The bad thing(s): It will take long time to make, and it probably won't come for the Wii, or any older system.

It's what they call a PC fanboi.
Anyway, in Abe's Oddysee, I'm in the Paramite Temple now, which is actually further than I've gone before since the first time I played.

I'd wish Oddworld wasn't so hard.

Oh we've all become gaming wimps over the years. All older games are hard.

I love the Free Fire Zone music from Oddworld: Abes Oddysee, it actually sounds Rayman 2-ish.

Never heard that.
Anyways, if i should choose between scrabs and paramites, i would choose paramites.
1. They are not as agressive as scrabs.
2. "When there's one, it can be fun. Two... you better run." But when there's just one scrab, you're dead meat.
3. Paramites are cooler. They can actually move around, unlike the scrabs.
4. Paramites can be cute. Scrabs are just monsters.

The song I am talking about plays in the Stockyards, when there are no enemies around.

No enemies sounds nice in a way, but there wouldn't be anyone to kill.

(Killing slogs by possessing a slig is awesome!)

See that picture of the SoulStorm Brewery that I posted on the first page of this topic? I set that as my PS3's wallpaper.

It's nice to just see it every time I turn it on...and BTW, I downloaded an emulator that lets my PS3 play NES ROMs, and it's awesome.

Insulting other enemies in Munchs Oddysee if you possess one is hilarious!
