I didn't know at the time but when I was a kid my mum (who normally refuses to play any games for no good reason) played this a lot on my PS1 and because she sucked at it she used to call one of those game help phone lines constantly to ask them how to get past a bit she was on, so much so that she spent almost all of her wages on phone bills for it
In another life my mum could've been such an ebin gamer
Even though she always called it Abe's Oddysee despite presumably being corrected by the people she phoned every time she called them because she gave them the wrong friggin game
