Ί Ί the sad part is they KNEW it was a BETA when they released it, since Ί Ί they changed the version #'s and dates within ABEWIN.EXE. We picked the Ί Ί game up from the store, which you are welcome to do as well if you feel Ί Ί we are lying to you. However, the only liars are the members of PDM who Ί Ί were involved in the release of Oddworld. Here is the VERSION Ί Ί information from within ABEWIN.EXE which you are also welcome to check Ί Ί out for yourself with any hex editor: Ί Ί Ί Ί PDM - 14:32:52 Oct 22 1997 Oddworld Abe's Oddysee 2.0 Ί Ί CLS - Oddworld Abe's Oddysee 1.6 Oct 10 1997 20:56:14 Ί Ί Ί Ί Only PDM knows what the information was BEFORE they changed it, but it Ί Ί is definetly NOT the same as the FINAL version. PDM would like you to Ί Ί think it was FINAL if it was ever checked. Guess they didn't think it Ί Ί would be, since if it was it would be exposed as BETA. Surprise PDM, Ί Ί someone is always checking up on you and your releases. Ί Ί Ί Ί The differences are not only inside ABEWIN.EXE but also in the DATA Ί Ί files from this game. Here is the comparison: Ί Ί Ί Ί PDM - ABEWIN EXE 1,125,376 10-22-97 Ί Ί CLS - ABEWIN EXE 1,075,712 10-10-97 Ί Ί Ί Ί PDM - F1 LVL 19,484,672 10-22-97 Ί Ί CLS - F1 LVL 19,472,384 10-03-97 Ί Ί Ί Ί PDM - R6 LVL 8,192,000 10-22-97 Ί Ί CLS - R6 LVL 8,189,952 10-03-97 Ί Ί Ί Ί PDM - S1 LVL 10,461,184 10-22-97 Ί Ί CLS - S1 LVL 11,112,448 10-08-97 Ί Ί Ί Ί Yes the FINAL CLASS version dates are "older" but this is because PDM Ί Ί took their coverup one step further by matching the date they changed Ί Ί in ABEWIN.EXE to all the other files in the release. Ί Ί Ί Ί Since Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is a 73 disk release, we here at CLASS Ί Ί would rather the end user NOT re download all of the files since all of Ί Ί the files were not changed. Instead, we are releasing the updated files Ί Ί as a 14 disk patch. PDM should NOT receive credit for this game, since Ί Ί their release was BETA. The end user will decide who should get credit Ί Ί and what group is looking out for them. Expect much more from CLASS Ί Ί very soon! Ί Ί Ί Ί mAd greets to Menacile, Killer, Praxxxis, and Mizery.

First, we are looking for people who can Ί Ί supply HARDWARE to our group. Most importantly 3DFX Cards, MMX Chips, Ί Ί and Hard Drives. If you think you are able to help out, contact us ASAP Ί Ί to be rewarded. Second, we are looking for DEMO's (4k, 64k, even 4MB if Ί Ί they are good enough) with a CLASS theme.

We would like to change that, and give the DEMO Scene Ί Ί some much needed exposure, especially here in the USA. Lastly, we just Ί Ί wanted to thank everyone for all the positive feedback we have received Ί Ί over the past few weeks. It's nice to know our work is appreciated.
