Oddworld fan history

Dripik first got acquainted with the Oddworld games in 2002, when he made a purchase of a local gaming magazine, PC Guru. That issue included a free copy of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, the second game of the series. After getting through the claustrophobic, murky levels of the first area, and seeing some of the cut-scenes, he got interested in the series and began to look into the rest of the Oddworld games. During the summer of 2002, in his search for information on the official Oddworld website, he found a link to Oddchat, an internet chatroom for Oddworld fans. After getting acquainted with some other fans, he was recommended to check out Oddworld Forums, where the majority of the people frequenting Oddchat were already members.
