This demo freaked the fuck out of me as a kid... the whole thing is just so unsettling and creepy... these days of gaming were really something special. Games these days just don’t have that same uniqueness to them anymore. Back on the PS1 every big budget game felt special
Exactly !!! Odworld? Im still creep when i hear intro, noises and see monsters 😂 but i tried so hard to try challenge my fears 😄 Anyway another creepy game for me (bc of sound and graphic was pandemoneum (i guess its right name)
I love how the devs incorporated parts that they were working on as if they were still 'under construction'. All boarded up and spray painted. Just made it feel more alive. And the impassable section at the end was a great trick. I love the ps1.
Back in 1997 when I booted up the Demo 1 as a kid on my PSX I got on Christmas this demo gave me nightmares. Sitting in the darkness by myself in front of the TV which i had only for myself. Those sounds and the flashing purple lights filling the darkness of the room when starting the demo scared me so much i had to cover my eyes and ears until i made it to the main menu!
Those three-legged beasts scared me a lot, how it mauled and ate your friend near the end of the demo. When I then saw in the preview still images for the full game including Abe being chased by those, I knew that I would never dare playing the game. :p
The reason the save system was so bad in Oddysee is because the cutscenes took up the bulk of the diskspace. I guess that's why it was so much shorter on the demo.
I've just watched the intro to the retail game and there's some stuff I noticed was missing. I must have had this demo disc and remembered it more than the other. "They were gonna turn us into lunch" and "help me rescue the others" were taken out on the full release, shame!
"No entry til september 1997" that's actually kinda hilarious, because in the full game there's a dead end until you complete the rest of the game anyways.
There's a team of lads working on a modded version of the game with better sprites for Abe, the other Mudokons etc and with the backgrounds cleaned up a bit, whilst still retaining the same game. Excited about it!
Я тоже в 8 или 9 лет часто задрачивал эту демо-версию.. Спасал абсолютно всех и проходил эту демку раз 50. А потом через полгода, под ёлкой, рано утром первого января я увидел коробку с диском. полноценную игру! я не мог поверить, это было реально чудо! И эта обложка.. Лицо Эйба, навсегда вошлось в моё сознание. Я так сильно обрадовался. Ведь мы были не из богатой семью, мать еле уговорила отца купить мне PlayStation, хотя я даже не знал что это такое... И потому игра abe Odyssey для меня это была реально самым лучшим и волшебным подарком на Новый Год. Больше никогда я не испытывал подобного чувства ни на один праздник, той волшебной радости и счастья. Это было невероятно. Помню мне пришлось разбудить родителей, тогда я реально поверил что ночью приходил дед мороз!
In the Demo version when Abe wants a Mudokon to stay in his place, he says "Stay Here" in the full version he says "Wait" even the falling stones at 7:25 make different sounds!
I remember the times as a kid I spent so much time playing the demo of Abe!! Now when I think about it, ever seen the movie Groundhog Day? If I were to experience ONE day forever, I think I'd choose a day in my youth, playing games all day 😅🎮
@Shay OMG i thought i was the only one, this dilemma of games added your childhood lotta happiness, but secretely you know it also fucked up your academic performance. It is not the only thing to blame, but i realized it years after school era, and well, you mentioned it exactly as it is.
Really great! Changing life demos. Like Carmageddon and Vigilante 8 ohh holy shin. Other least but cool too, Medievil, Soul Reaver, Matt Hoffman Pro BMX. I dont know if these days is the same, but in 90s-00s, getting the full game was ....... 🙆
This demo is fucking AWFUL once you're familiar with the final release. Checkpoints don't trigger Movement has a bigger delay The hop is like 5x slower You can't jump directly upwards I must have spent like 30 minutes trying to save that final 6 and in the end I gave up because nothing is nearly as responsive as the final release. What a mess lol

I played tons of demos as a kid. The one I had was Oddworld, Tekken, Kula World, and MediEvil - plus some others. I agree.. sorta creepy 😂
Agreed, 100 %. The music, the noises, the setting, and the voices.... I was scared of this game as a kid. 😅

Spyro had some, I believe
the sound of this game was simply spectacular. much better than today's games
That's nostalgia talking
@@fanaticz666
It's not. Sound design nowadays is recycled and rather subpar. Sound was HUGE back in those days, so they were huge priority
I remember I played this demo for the first time when I was seven years old and I got it along with Sony PlayStation 1 for Chrimbo in 1997.
Me too...
Me too
Me too 😃
Me too :D
Me too

I remember as a kid I was so scared of the Sligs, but couldn't stop playing because I loved to take over them 😅
Those three-legged beasts scared me a lot, how it mauled and ate your friend near the end of the demo.

I was shitting my pants playing this game as a kid but I loved it. One of the best games for PS1.
17:28 i hated that spot everytime when i was a kid. Couldn’t go further than that cuz it’s a demo gameplay, good old times nice memories.
The opening movie has not just cut parts but also has differences in it too. Cool never noticed.

I only have Stranger's Wrath. That PS1 startup sound is so nostalgic.
"No entry til september 1997" that's actually kinda hilarious, because in the full game there's a dead end until you complete the rest of the game anyways.
Omggggg!! This game is so under rated ffs!!
This game was fun but creeped me out so much as a kid lol
17:25 this would make a perfect criminal punishment for getting an illegal copy of Abe's Oddysee. Followed by the "Piracy Is A Crime" message.
Abe: hello..
Mudoken: HELLO!!!
Abe: follow me…
Mudoken: OOOKKKAAAYY!!!!
I wish the remake just re rendered the graphics in 4K without making entire game in 3D. Game was perfect as it was.
Damn sad! But tx for the TLDR sort of.
There's a team of lads working on a modded version of the game with better sprites for Abe, the other Mudokons etc and with the backgrounds cleaned up a bit, whilst still retaining the same game.
Excited about it!
Demo Version of Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee! Time for throwback gaming of the year!

This game was the reason I asked for a PlayStation when I was a kid
I remember the times as a kid I spent so much time playing the demo of Abe!!
Now when I think about it, ever seen the movie Groundhog Day?
If I were to experience ONE day forever, I think I'd choose a day in my youth, playing games all day 😅🎮
The interesting this is that this version of the demo is a late beta build of the game.
One of my favorite games growing up as a kid! pure nostalgia seeing this
Sept. '97
The game demo that solidified my love for gaming. I could of been a Doctor had this not distracted me....

that Bug noise......this is how a world start..........a world ''hello follow me''
first time with psx demo
Really great! Changing life demos.
Like Carmageddon and Vigilante 8 ohh holy shin. Other least but cool too, Medievil, Soul Reaver, Matt Hoffman Pro BMX. I dont know if these days is the same, but in 90s-00s, getting the full game was ....... 🙆
i have this same demo disk, this was my childhood
What a flashback! Gosh
0:14
Relief!
I remember I used to have PS1 demo disc of this game. I inserted it on PC, it worked somehow I swear I was able to play that PS1 demo on PC.
I always tried reach to the end this location and now i see its impossible since 2000 :D 17:25
Hahaha so true :D
Why not turn around and jump back or is it too slow?
10RexTheWolf01 There’s an invisible wall that prevents progress.
That's what you get for getting an illegal copy of Abe's Oddysee.
1st game i played and loved was resident evil and I absolutely loved it. Then played this and was scared out of my mind! 🤣
Brings back so many memories (L)
The demo intro is better than the full game on both PC and PS1
Stay here.
17:28 Mario Party DS anti-piracy in a nutshell.
Could you please tell me the name of the demo disc?
BEEEEEEEEEEEP !
0:30 Abe jumpscare!!!
This demo is fucking AWFUL once you're familiar with the final release.
Checkpoints don't trigger
Movement has a bigger delay
The hop is like 5x slower
You can't jump directly upwards
I must have spent like 30 minutes trying to save that final 6 and in the end I gave up because nothing is nearly as responsive as the final release. What a mess lol
fuuuu
