LOVED these games. $15 for both is a steal.

i'll buy them just to support Lorn Lanning

so far i've owned every Oddworld game, but haven't completed a single one :( perhaps Steam will motivate me to finish start over and actually do it once and for all!

Awesome news! I tried the first one on Playstation a long time ago, and remember it as a VERY fun (and humorous) although hard game. $15 for both (13.49) is, as Disgustipated said, a steal.

God damnit Steam, stop tempting me. The wallet can'nae take it.

I've always wanted to try these. Steam really is too good a selling platform.

[Citizen Philip]

I'll buy these to spite you.

Does anyone know what the PC ports are like? I remember picking up the first one ages ago and being frustrated with the bad controls and crappy resolution. But I was young and impatient back then, so anyone with more recent experience?

<--weak. So very, very weak.

Played the demo of one of them and became hopelessly stuck within about five minutes. Instant death beam forward and backward, and nothing but one of your useless mates to interact with. When I restarted the game after reading a walkthrough (apparently you're meant to find weapons in secret areas that nobody could have guessed existed) I discovered that the lengthy intro sequences were unskippable. Got rid of it immediately after.

Ah, I loved these games back in the day.

When is Lorne Lanning going to make that movie he was always talking about?

[AbeLincoln]

Well I guess I am obligated to buy them.

Never played these but Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee remains one of my favorite games of all time. For some reason.

[Orphiuchus]

Goddamn, I forgot how hard games used to be.

[Rommel]

I love looking at them, but I have always HATED playing games in the supposed "Realistic 2D platformer" genre.

amazing news!

just purchased!

I wish they made a true sequel to these games instead of the route the series took.
