abillybob Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Just been chatting to a little lad from year 6 about games and he mentioned he had a Playstation 1 we both laughed until I asked him what games he even plays on it anymore and he said this Took me back and I'm impressed that such a young lad with all the latest stuff PS4 etc... still keeps the legendary old games alive Anyone remember this? Can anyone remember what happened when you pressed "X" on your Playstation controller?
Dos_Box Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 My 7 year old boy is a Manic Miner\Jet Set Willy fanatic. He loves retro-games and ever since we took him to Play in Blackpool earlier in the month he's been bugging me for a ZX Spectrum. He has access to emulators on the kids laptop (a 7 year old Acer that keeps them off mine!) and loves games for the gameplay rather than the graphics. It's the best way to start IMO Oddworld?! Pah. Overrated modern rubbish
Joanne Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I loved abes oddessey... *parp* hehehe. Hello, Follow Me, OK!
localzuk Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Fantastic games. You can get them on Steam! Or at least, you could, as I bought them ages ago.
abillybob Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 I loved abes oddessey... *parp* hehehe. Hello, Follow Me, OK! Haha completely forgot about the words they said I just had a major flash back of that. I never completed this game though as a kid I was always stuck at one part, I used to love controlling the yellow robot people and make them beat up the other Abe's My 7 year old boy is a Manic Miner\Jet Set Willy fanatic.

Overrated modern rubbish Haha love it proper retro gamer right here and he's 7 that's great. I think that plays a big part in my gaming style at the moment I no longer look at how good a game is but also factor in that it should have amazing graphics also which is a shame but I no longer like looking at blocky, pixelated games! Oddworld was blooming' amazing how dare you!

bladedanny Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 ...I never completed this game though as a kid I was always stuck at one part... Me too, it wasn't even that far in. I think I kept getting annoyed at the lack of save points (as it was back then) Get right to the end of the level, get eaten by a crab thingy and have to start the whole level again.
bladedanny Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Just looked, it's £1.99 on steam, I know what I'm doing this weekend.

themightymrp Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I've still got the whole Oddworld collection Abes Oddysee, Abes Exodus, Munch's Oddysee and Strangers Wrath I love them so.... Just wish Strangers Wrath would play on a 360, darned annoying!

LincolnE Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 They are doing a 3d remake of the first game last I heard. New 'n' Tasty » Oddworld Inhabitants - Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc I'll be all over this when it comes out.

Strangers has had a few HD remakes on Sony's hardware, definitely on PS3 and I think on Vita.. may be worth taking a look if you've got the systems.

New 'n' Tasty » Oddworld Inhabitants - Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc I'll be all over this when it comes out. For the PS4. I'll be buying that day 1! As for the PS1 version. My 2yr old nephew loves playing that on my brothers PS3. Scarely good at it as well!

Unfortunately I have only the 360 these days (and a PS1 and PS2 in a drawer upstairs). I'd hoped they might do a port to Xbox Arcade but no such luck. Incidentally - I want the remake mentioned above!!!!!
