It was released in 1997 for the PlayStation video game console, DOS and Microsoft Windows in North America, Australia and Europe. The game was released under the title in Japan for the PlayStation by publisher SoftBank, with a PC version following in 2001. The Game Boy version of ''Abe's Oddysee'', retitled as ''Oddworld Adventures'', was developed by Saffire Corporation and published by GT Interactive in 1998. The game centers on the titular Abe, a Mudokon slave at the 'RuptureFarms' meat processing factory. When he discovers that he and his fellow Mudokons are to be slaughtered, he decides to escape and liberate as many enslaved Mudokons as he can. The player assumes the role of Abe as he attempts a perilous quest to emancipate his downtrodden people. ''Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee'' was widely acclaimed for having innovative gameplay, good graphics, and engaging cut-scenes; however, its steep learning curve and system of saving only at checkpoints, received criticism. It was the first game in the planned five-part ''Oddworld'' series, which also includes its direct sequels, ''Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus'', ''Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee'' and ''Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath''. A remake titled ''Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!'' was developed by Just Add Water and released through digital distribution in 2014. ==Gameplay== ''Abe's Oddysee'' is a two-dimensional platform game in which players take control of the character Abe, to travel across separate screens: solving puzzles, navigating obstacles, and avoiding enemies. Abe will die if attacked by an enemy, touched by an obstacle, dropped from too great a height, or even holding a grenade for too long, respawning at the last checkpoint. As well as jumping to navigate areas and crouching to roll under obstacles, Abe can break into a run to jump over large gaps or escape enemies, or tiptoe to avoid disturbing enemies. Abe can also use throwable objects such as meat, rocks or grenades to bypass enemies or destroy obstacles, though grenades have a timer and, as explained, will blow up Abe if he holds one for too long. 〔Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee game manual〕 Abe has the ability to telepathically control Sligs (a type of non-player character), but can only use this in safe areas. Flying orbs in certain areas also prevent Abe's telepathy by zapping him. Once Abe successfully possesses a Slig, Abe can use them to attack other enemies and activate mechanisms dangerous to himself, and can then destroy them. Abe's body is immobile and vulnerable whilst possessing someone else, whereas if his host is killed, control will return to Abe's body. Along the way, the player will encounter other Mudokons that he can rescue. By holding down the GameSpeak button and pressing various commands, Abe can command them to follow him, stay put, and activate mechanisms, as well as praise or scold them. Sometimes Abe will have to go through certain procedures to persuade a certain Mudokon, such as responding to whistles. Mudokons can be rescued by safely leading them past traps and enemies to bird portals, which can be activated by chanting. If the player rescues at least 50 Mudokons during the course of the game, Abe survives the ending.〔Me Odom, Sam Craig, Patricia Lesser, ''Unlock the Secrets of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Official Strategy Guide'', GW Press, 1997〕 Throughout the game, Abe is attacked by Sligs, Scrabs, and Paramites. Sligs will shoot on sight, but cannot see through dark areas; Scrabs will attack anyone in their territory; whilst Paramites will attack in packs and become shy alone.〔Ballistic Publishing, ''The Art of Oddworld: The First Ten Years 1994–2004'', p. 85.〕〔Ballistic Publishing, ''The Art of Oddworld: The First Ten Years 1994–2004'', p. 79.〕 Elums are bipedal creatures that Abe can ride and communicate with by GameSpeak, although they will be distracted by dripping honey. Late in the game, Abe gains the ability to transform into a demigod 'Shrykull', which can eviscerate all on-screen enemies. Abe can use this ability once after rescuing a certain amount of Mudokons at the same time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
