About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who
have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
“photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye
or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary
loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to
injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and
teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the
television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing
when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.

types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static
images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a
permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not
being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game
on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be
played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual,
contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played
safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for
play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

THE STORTHE STOR

THE STORTHE STOR
We first met Abe, hapless floor-waxer-become-hero, in Oddworld: Abe’s
Oddysee®, where he rescued his fellow Mudokons from RuptureFarms and
struck a major blow to the Glukkons of the evil Magog Cartel. Then,
ancestral spirits showed him there was more to the slaughter of his fellow
Mudokons than met the sutured eye. Because of this, in Oddworld: Abe’s
Exoddus® Abe had to save the remaining living Mudokons as well as save the
spirits of his dead Mudokon ancestors, sabotaging the SoulStorm Brewery
boilers in the process. It was a lot of work for a simple Mudokon like Abe,
but in the end he was successful.
In Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee™, our new hero
Munch is the last surviving Gabbit on Oddworld.
Gabbits were an amphibious species that were
hunted to the verge of extinction for their
lungs and their eggs. Munch finds out that one
can of Gabbiar (egad, them’s Gabbit eggs!)
remains, and that the Vykkers and Glukkons
have it in their possession. In much the same
predicament, Abe needs to find the eggs containing his unborn
Mudokon brothers, which just happen to be warehoused in Vykkers Labs.
But Abe can’t break out his shell-shackled family without help from Munch,
and vice versa. Together our heroes must find the eggs in order to save their
respective species from total extermination.

The villains of Oddworld are the Industrialists. The Industrialists exploit
the native species and natural resources of Oddworld for their own selfish
gains. This band of unscrupulous characters includes the Glukkons—
power-hungry barons of industry—and the Vykkers, mad scientists who
capture the innocent creatures of Oddworld and test experimental
products on them. Henchmen to the Vykkers are the Interns who are
constantly searching for their own piece of the sadistic pie. Finally, there
are the weapon-wielding Sligs who guard industrial installations, and will
shoot or club you on sight. They come in all sizes but with one predictably
surly demeanor—you don’t want to run into a Big Bro Slig in a dark
corridor, lemme tell ya.

At the behest of the Almighty Raisin, Mudokon Shamans are instructed
to help Munch and Abe successfully complete their journey. This means
our heroes are expected to rescue the innocent and exploited creatures
of Oddworld and protect their friends. Rescuing these Oddworld friends
brings Munch and Abe good Quarma. The more rescues performed, the
better the Quarma.
Before he can lead Fuzzles to a rescue portal, Munch must first free the
Fuzzles from the cages where the Vykkers keep them for experimentation.
To set Fuzzles free from their cages, have Munch zap the cages with his
headport by tapping the
Mudokons and save the precious Mudokon eggs (his unborn brothers). Abe
finds enslaved brethren working in Oddworld’s industrial facilities, their
head feathers shaved off, and their skin color pale-blue. To rescue Fuzzles
and Mudokon Scrubs, have Munch or Abe lead them to Rescue Portals.
Then, tap the
Scrubs will magically vanish before your eyes as they hop, step and jump
through the portal. As for the Mudokon eggs, Munch must transport the
egg crates to loading bay chutes with a crane, or Abe can carry them there.
Be careful not to drop ’em!
Since Munch and Abe are a team they share one Quarma score and good
Quarma means a better ending for Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee™. To check

It may seem obvious, but protecting the environment on Oddworld is
pretty important. Without a healthy environment, all life on Oddworld
will cease to exist. One surefire way to evaluate the environment’s health
is by taking a look at the water, the trees, and the sky. When there is poor
environmental health, the region becomes more toxic, drier, and brown
in appearance. These environmental conditions are the cruel and
unscrupulous work of the Industrialists on Oddworld—the greedy
Glukkons and sadistic Vykkers.
When the environment is in trouble, Munch and Abe need
to restore it to health. Work to repair the environment by
activating native facilities such as Storm Circles. It’ll be a
breath of fresh air. Most important, a positive or negative
impact on the environment directly affects the growth
of SpooceShrubs—the more SpooceShrubs, the more
Spooce! And with enough Spooce, you’ll be able
to open SpooceLocks to access hidden areas,
among other things, and be more successful
overall in Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee™.

Now that we’ve talked about environmental and spiritual health, how
about your physical health? Have you had a checkup lately? No need to
call the Health Board on this one, just take care of it on your own—your
health, that is.
The best way to maintain good health is not to get killed. So, stay away
from enemy weapons. These include the Sligs with their batons and guns,
the Interns with their electroshockers and snuzis, and the Vykkers with
their saws and snuzis. In the event you do die, go straight to the next
section in this manual called Nurture the Nest to find out what to
do. Check on Munch or Abe’s health at any time by pulling the

er on your controller. The more birds flying
erer
around Abe or Munch’s head, the healthier you are.
If there are no birds at all, look out! You’re in
immediate danger!

Which came first, the Munch or the egg? For egg-sample, in the event that
Munch or Abe dies, you’ll see an egg floating above the nests that hover
throughout the environment. Anytime an egg is floating over a nest, tap the

The most powerful Vendo available to Industrialists is the BlitzPacker
Vendo, but indirectly it is also available to Abe to rain destruction upon
the enemy. The BlitzPacker is a weapon of massive beverage addiction and
destruction. Since only Sligs power up to use the BlitzPacker, and Abe can
possess Sligs, Abe has to possess a Slig to be able to obtain and use the
BlitzPacker. Once he does, look out. As far as other weapons go, Abe can
possess any of the other Industrialist creatures that have a weapon, and
weapons mean firepower.
