As the title says :) how many of you remember playing Abe's Oddysee or Exodus when you were growing up? I played them both when i had the PS one and still to this day love how amazing the game is :D Great story, lots of farts and "hey, Follow me's." above all it was a great platformer for its time and had a good mix of challenging and simple puzzles

I cant remember the countless times i had died trying to get past some sections and puzzles in the game. I remember going parts at a time when i had to actually stop playing cause some of the puzzles made me so mad, (example:those damn Slig Locks, never fully understood those till i got older) eventually after leaving and coming back i was able to move on. :) This game left me with a love hate relationship towards it cause i always wanted to find out what was next, but sometimes had to wait a long time to progress at all haha.

I really loved that this game had some WTF moments. I would have to say that some of the WTF moments would have been somehow barely escaping a enemy or just barely getting missed by a trap of some kind. Its the kind of thing that made you go Whew and have a short moment of celebration :D the kind of thing that was like "I couldn't do that again even if i tried"

For those of you that have never played it and have the need to think about getting it from the humble bundle I'd certainly recommend it. Whether its for you reliving some nostalgia like me or just playing it for the first time you cant go wrong. Especially seeing how many platform games that have been released since then and have been crap in my opinion. you cant go wrong for a dollar. The Duke Nukem and Shadow warrior are also classic pieces but that's not what this post is about :D Abe gets some loving this time Duke :P

I had no idea of what that was, some family friends gifted it to me some days before my PC was ready, I had just that and Curse of Monkey Island (borrowed).
Man I loved it so much that I bought Exoddus too when it came out :D

The other Oddworld games are great too, Munche's oddysee was great and so was Strangers Wrath if you ever get to play those

I played a bit of Munch on Xbox but never managed to beat it, I will give it another chance since I bought the Oddboxx on Steam. Never tried Stranger's yet...

i loved both, even though munches oddysee can leave you hanging on some points on what you are to do.

It wasn't my first PC game since I started with old old old titles from Apogee(IDsoft) and 3Drealms. Gosh those were good times. BBSes and stuff. I did preorder Exoddus and then got the guide with it. I never bought one before and didn't really need it but it was nice to have.

I could reminisce forever on this stuff.

I played the Psone demo at a friend's house countless times when I was young, but I didn't buy and play the games until some years ago, I still have to buy and play stranger's wrath though.

I heard of them back in the day, but didn't play them until I had them on Steam. I think I played the demo of Abe's Oddysee in the 90s that came on a CD from a magazine, but that was it.

I actually still have my old PSX and my copy of Abe. The only downside is i have to flip the console on the side to play :3

I was actually going to write a big long story about Oddworld.. but you already covered all the points that I would have. I absolutely love that game. Nice to see it's still got a bit of a following.

Played the crap out of Exoddus, the PC version. Takes me back to a simpler time where we didn't have gargantuan backlogs to deal with and the few games we did have we'd play them because that's what we had. Thankfully this was a good game.

Still got the quirky looking original CDs :D

I did in the 2002. My first Oddoworld game was Abe's Oddysee I thought it was freakin' weird and scary ·-·

Decided as a "games I don't want to play since I get nightmares" with Doom on PSX and Half-Life: Blue Shift WON (This was actually my first Half-Life game, CS1.5 WON as first Valve game) back then.

Abe's Exodus was a disturbing and frustrating game for me, since I played it at the age of 5, but yeah, I liked it
