Lanning wants Oddworld Xbox on Steam News

PC Xbox News by Tom Bramwell

8 September, 2008

The first two games in the Oddworld series have been released on Steam and Oddworld Inhabitants' Lorne Lanning has said he hopes to add more in future.

"Steam is the now the easiest way for gamers to reconnect with our classic games and we hope to get the rest of the Oddworld Xbox games onto the Steam Network in the not too distant future," Lanning told Eurogamer.

That would be good news for anyone who missed out on Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee - an Xbox 1 launch title in 2001 - or Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath.

Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus - both of which were originally released on PSone and PC in the late '90s - cost USD 9.99 apiece on Steam or USD 14.99 for the pair.

"We've been hounded to get the Abe PC games available once again. Now finally, ten years after the first Abe release, both Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus are now up on Valve's Steam digital distribution network... And we couldn't be more thrilled!" Lanning told us.

"We love the way Steam allows us to connect directly to our audience, cutting out the middlemen to offer our library of games at an enticingly low price and without the many hassles of retail. Long live Steam!"

At first I thought they were coming to live :(

Don't use Steam (not much of a PC gamer except emulators now TBH) so I'd love to see these come 360 or PS3 way. The Xbox ones should be a cert for Xbox Originals at least! (but I guess we'll settle for Spyro)

Abe's Oddysee was the first game I bought and played on my Playstation, and what a classic it was, too. I hope it hasn't aged badly, not that I'll be playing it on my Mac...

@ MrED209

I have Exoddus on PS1 and it still looks pretty good, it's aged quited nicely. Unlike some I could mention!

I already got the Abe bundle from Steam and I would probably get the rest if offered on a similar price and guaranteed to work on my PC - even though I have them both on the Xbox :)

Oh, do I wish this would be available on PSN. I LOVE those first two games. PSone classics, no doubt.
