    Abe's Oddessy on Steam!!!!

    I almost screamed with excitement when i saw this, brought back so many memories! I'm so glad they have done it! It might have a few bugs etc, but who cares

    Hopefully steam will be releasing more classics like this

    Downloading the demo to see how it plays on slightly newer hardware

    Edit: I think I'll reserve this one for the netbook and/or VM as it's more suited smaller displays since it appears to be a fixed resolution title. Shame it's not on the Playstation Store, would have been fun playing this on the PSP!

    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Yeah, but even on 1680*1050 it doesnt look too bad. It's not crysis, and is a bit pixelly, but the whistles and farts you can do detract from that

    Don't get me wrong, I'll play practically anything which contains quality gameplay and this is one of those games. I'm just too close to the display for an, almost, doubled resolution to do anything but hinder the experience. It'll definately go on my netbook along with Abe's Exoddus ($13.49 for the package).
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
