Bob, I am definately exchanging Oddworld for Total Annihilation. I got Oddworld working on my 300Mhz Petium II last night. In retrospect, I don't know why I should have been shocked, I looks just like a standard Console game that has been ported to the PC. If I want to play a game like that I will play it on my 32 inch TV screen, not my 17 inch monitor. They did not adjust the graphics for the PC at all. I was expecting a game more like a much cooler version of "Legends of Kyrandia" by Westwood. Oddworld looks just like Super Mario and all those other stupid games, except it doesn't even scroll.

On a positive note, the intro was cool, and I liked the voice. Abe is cute, but Oddworld should stay a CONSOLE game only. The standards for graphics in PC games are too high for this game to be taken seriously.

PC to CONSOLE (a good idea)
CONSOLE to PC (forget it)

JV..
