Game Over
Rick Burgh has uncovered news that Abe and his enemies from Abe’s Oddysee will be appearing in a program called Game Over, which will air this Spring on UPN. The show stars the Smashenburn family who live in a videogame reality populated by ‘real’ cyberstars such as Crash Bandicoot. Voice actors on the show include Patrick Warburton, Lucy Liu, E.G. Daily, Rachel Dratch, Artie Lange, Marie Matiko and James Sie.
The producers’ web log entry for 30th of July reads:
The other big exciting news around here right now is that the good people over at Abe’s Oddysey (and Abe’s Exoddus and Munch’s Oddysey) are working with us to put Abe and a few of his enemies into our first episode. For those of you who haven’t encountered these enormously popular games, let me just say that they are awesome. Also, we got a sneak peak of the new one that’s in the works. I am, of course, sworn to never mentioning to anyone what I’ve seen, but all you gamers out there should be very excited.
According to the same blog, the first two episodes of Game Over have completed production. The official site also has a trailer, and there is an article about Game Over in issues #747 and #748 of Entertainment Weekly (23rd/30th January 2004).
