Oddworld games going cheap on Impulse

8 October 2010

Impulse is listing two classic Oddworld games at a 50% reduced price for the duration of their weekend special, until 10 October 2010.

The titles are Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, both of which are currently listed at R25.83. The combined price of R51.66 is small saving on the combo pack, which contains both games and usually goes for R68.80.

Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus are classic cinematic-action-platform games that captured the hearts of millions of gamers when they first appeared in 1997 and 1998 respectively. Abe’s Oddysee was planned as the first in a quintology of titles, with Abe’s Exoddus being a bonus game not considered part of the quintology. Plans for the series were halted however, after the release of Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee.

Abe’s Oddysee introduces the eponymous protagonist, as he toils away in a Glukkon meat farm. Abe learns of despicable plans to turn him and his fellow Mudokons into a meaty food source for the Glukkon’s. There is no choice but to escape and attempt to rescue Mudokon-kind.

Abe’s Exoddus continues Abe’s adventures with an even more fantastic series of events. Abe learns that the evil Magog Cartel is harvesting sacred Mudokon bones in order to produce their highly addictive SoulStorm Brew. Abe sets out to free his fellow Mudokon’s from SoulStorm addiction.

These two games are worthy classics that would be well placed in any gamer’s library.
