Each game reveals more about the strange and bizarre universe that is Oddworld, and its varied inhabitants. Thus far, we've accompanied Abe in the first installment, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee®, and in an extra game, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus®. In Oddworld: Munch's OddyseeTM, Abe meets Munch for double the Oddworld punch including a new 3D view of Oddworld. Even though you can play as either Abe or Munch, the struggle doesn't get any easier as the forces of industry continue to decimate the planet for their own greedy gains. Future games of the Oddworld Quintology introduce new dilemmas, new villains, and most importantly, new and unlikely heroes like Abe and Munch. Be forewarned: the Inhabitants all live on Oddworld together, and as the story unfolds, characters that are overlooked could prove really important in the big picture. Oddworld is so big that we've only just scratched the surface and barely explored the depths of THE ODD. 0901 Part No. X08-41001 m m SAFETY INFORMATION SAFET Y INFORMATION About Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms--children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Then, ancestral spirits showed him there was more to the slaughter of his fellow Mudokons than met the sutured eye. Because of this, in Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus® Abe had to save the remaining living Mudokons as well as save the spirits of his dead Mudokon ancestors, sabotaging the SoulStorm Brewery boilers in the process. It was a lot of work for a simple Mudokon like Abe, but in the end he was successful. In Oddworld: Munch's OddyseeTM, our new hero Munch is the last surviving Gabbit on Oddworld. Gabbits were an amphibious species that were hunted to the verge of extinction for their lungs and their eggs. Munch finds out that one can of Gabbiar (egad, them's Gabbit eggs!) remains, and that the Vykkers and Glukkons have it in their possession. In much the same predicament, Abe needs to find the eggs containing his unborn Mudokon brothers, which just happen to be warehoused in Vykkers Labs. But Abe can't break out his shell-shackled family without help from Munch, and vice versa. Together our heroes must find the eggs in order to save their respective species from total extermination. ABE Abe the Mudokon. Former floor waxer, known to hang out with Mudokon Natives. Possesses Industrialists. Has rescued numerous Scrubs. If encountered, terminate with extreme prejudice. THE ENEMY The villains of Oddworld are the Industrialists. The Industrialists exploit the native species and natural resources of Oddworld for their own selfish gains. This band of unscrupulous characters includes the Glukkons-- power-hungry barons of industry--and the Vykkers, mad scientists who capture the innocent creatures of Oddworld and test experimental products on them. Henchmen to the Vykkers are the Interns who are constantly searching for their own piece of the sadistic pie. Finally, there are the weapon-wielding Sligs who guard industrial installations, and will shoot or club you on sight. They come in all sizes but with one predictably surly demeanor--you don't want to run into a Big Bro Slig in a dark corridor, lemme tell ya. HEROES THE HEROES The Natural Inhabitants of Oddworld view Munch and Abe as heroes. Viewed through the eyes of the Industrialists they're more like escaped lab animals. This is reflected in Industrialist propaganda: MUNCH MUNCH Munch. Last Gabbit on Oddworld. Known to control machinery with infrared headport. Swims very well but having only one leg slows him on land. Reportedly last seen racing by in a squeaky wheelchair. Terminate on sight.
