Description
In a lush world of diabolical danger where everyone wants to eat you, you're the skinny guy with no weapons. Run, jump, hide, scramble and talk your way past the ugliest bunch of carnivorous crustaceans ever created. Unlock Abe's special powers, then figure out your foes, and you might save your race. Don't, and you're dinner!

Abe is a first class Mudokon floor-waxer for RuptureFarms. He was catapulted into a life of adventure when he overheard plans by his boss to turn all the Mudokons into Tasty Treats as part of a last-ditch in Molluck the Glukkon's meat-packing empire. During his escape from RuptureFarms, Abe received a vision from the mysterious Big Face, showing Abe that he must not only rescue his fellow Mudokons, but also protect all of Oddworld's creatures from the predatory Magog Cartel.

Enter Oddworld's surreal sensory overload of pure gaming and claim your destiny. Saviour or salami? You decide.

Aside from Wonder Boy In Monster Land...

...I was never one for 2D Platformers...Abe's Odyssey changed all that. Just for that moment. It was just so *different*. And if you're gonna be different, you better be good! It was! I'd give it 5 but....It's a 2D Platformer hahaha If only he had some Wing Boots...

Great Game!

This game was one of my favorites back when it first launched on PSone. I highly recommend it for those who love 2D puzzle/adventure games.

GOF from GOG!

Good Old Fun... This game (and its successor) is the true child of the first Prince Of Persia game (the one from Jordan Mechner) with its bunch of hidden areas and its high difficulty level. ... From Good Old Games!

Awesome game!

When I first played this game, I was in love. I first finished this game at age 7 but my game disk broke. Because I loved it so much I was willing to pay for it again. I am so glad I decided to do so.
