Oddworld Adventures for Game Boy has a storyline based on Abe's Oddysee, although in this pocket version, we see Abe begin his quest in the wild, rather than at Rupture Farms. However, after completing Parmonia and Scrabania, Abe does venture to Rupture Farms.

Abe can rescue his fellow Mudokons and will also meet Native Mudokons in the wild, which can only be passed by solving a whistle puzzle (similar to in Abe's Oddysee).

Originally Developed for the Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket systems, Oddworld Adventures does allow play in 16 color mode on the Game Boy Color System.

While the graphics may not be stunning (as is the case with Game Boy games anyway, so don't complain!), this is more than made up for in the complexity of the puzzles. Some of the puzzles towards the end of the game can take quite some time to get through. Oddworld Adventures is certainly a pocket game aimed towards the older game player, rather than kids.

With Oddworld Adventures, Oddworld fanatics are able to play Oddworld wherever they go... which can always be a bonus, especially when suffering withdrawal symptoms from the PlayStation or PC versions!
