    Don't try to save everyone. 
     
    it won't happen. 
     
    And it is way funnier to watch them die.

    Back in the day I saved every single Mudoken in both Oddysee and Exoddus. It took a lot of time and effort. Exoddus was a nightmare because of the huuuuuuge number of hidden areas. I got there in the end though.
     
    Anyways to answer Ahmad's question, the first two Oddworld games (Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus) are available on PC, and I would recommend playing both, starting with Oddysee. Exoddus is a superior game, so if you only have limited time I suppose you could just jump into that, but the storyline is such an important part of the oddworld experience, I'd start with the first one. The graphics are relatively dated, but in my opinion the gameplay stands up extremely well. As long as you can get past the dated graphics, you should have a blast with it. The whole universe is fantastic. And they're fairly cheap on steam, so you haven't got a lot to loose.

    Oh man those games are worth playing again. I need to do that. The cut scenes were great.
     
    I'd say start with the first if you can. Good place to start as a lot of the styles of puzzles are in other games.

    Yeah get Abe's Oddysee and Exodus off Steam during the next sale.
     
    They're not really like the other games though, in terms of play style.

    Haha glad you like it but I thought Abe's Odyssey is from early 2000.

    Exoddus is great, but Oddysee holds up imo, both are very good. Never played Munch or Stranger's Wrath.

    @Turbo_Toaster:
    Munch is fantastic and Stranger's Wrath is brilliant. 
     
    I've never played the first two, but they're both available on PSN, I think.

    They should sell them as Xbox Originals on Marketplace. I want to try it out too.
     
    One of them was on Xbox, right?

    @Azteck: Yeah, Munch's Oddysee was on the Xbox. I think it was a launch title, but it was a great game.
