Oddworld was a fantastic game, as was Abe's Exoddus. I wasn't a fan of Stranger's Wrath, it wasn't similar to the PS1 Oddworld games at all. Thanks bringing back some nostalgia.

As a footnote: I never played the 3rd or 4th game in the series. I only saw some videos of them on YouTube and they don't look as fun as the first two. Anyone played them? thoughts?

Didn't see you posted that. Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath weren't similar to the PS1 versions. This series didn't do well when it turned 3D; it really benefited from the static backgrounds and 2D puzzles. I also found the humor to be gone. I am unsure if the same team made all four games, but I would guess that the third game wasn't developed by the same people.

Hello
Hello

Ok

I remember on Exodus, on the first screen there was a hidden part where you go down and save 2 or 3 comrades...then there was like another 30 hidden places so when you completed it you still had a sucky score

I remember Abe's Odyssey back when I was like 6-7. I never really could play it, kept dying. But i distinctively remember the farting move.

hahah yeah the farts were good.

Well if you never finished them or tried them you should get a rom and play them. There's a PC version too. I think I'm going to re-play them myself. :p
