Should I play original before playing New 'n' Tasty

[Eldin]

I have both of them but haven't played any of them.
Should I play original and then New 'n' Tasty, or just play New 'n' Tasty?

New and tasty is an hd remake of original scene for scene

So, story and all levels are same, just in HD?
I just want to make sure that I won't miss out anything by not playing original game.

You wouldn't really miss anything other than atmosphere, as it's quite different from the original.
The original is quite dark and grim , the remake is more vibrant, there are also a difference in camera and some areas in the game, but nothing new.
So feel free to play which you want to play the most , the classic or the hd remake.
And if you really want to see the comparison between them , here's a video to clear things up:

Play both,each have their own merits.

I consider New 'N' Tasty to be a good entry point for anyone getting into Oddworld, and I would absolutley recomend it over the original for a first playthrough as Abe's Oddysee is one of the most unforgiving and unfair games ever made (that's still enjoyable) and I think playing a more forgiving and reasonable game beforehand is better.
